Horrible fungal infected nails

[smilingcrow]

I have a few of my toe nails with fungal infections and now a couple on my hand! Not nice! I have tried some stuff I cought from the pharmacy before but it didnt work. How can I deal with this horrible situation?

Don't try and deal with it yourself - go to the doctor, and they will refer you to a podiatrist. If you don't want to see the GP, you can always pay to go privately to a podiatrist. Yours is spreading - don't hang about, don't let it get any worse.

Fungal nails are treated for months at a time not a few days

What Box says

[smilingcrow]

can the doctor not just prescribe you medicine?

[ojread2]

He can prescribe you something specific
IT will need to be used long term

When you say medicine, do you mean oral medicine?

[tinkerbell23]

Yeah you absolutley need longtern treatment for it....xxx

Yes, go to your GP. I had this a few years ago on big toenails. Was prescribed something to paint on every day (can't remember the name). Took a good few weeks, but eventually went.

It takes 6months or more to really clear fungal nail infections and the nail polish stuff is important as it stops the nails reinfecting each other If it is spreading you need proper help over the counter stuff isn't going to do it .
