warning - toenail photo below.

posting here for traffic - anybody got suggestions of a cream/treatment, etc that would work for the toenail issue below?

thanks.

It could be fungal, so you'd need daktarin cream. How long have you had it?

Slightly disappointed with the lack of grossness in your photos 😞.
I have a fungal nail and the doctor recommended
Amorolfine 5% medicated nail lacquer .
I don't know if it's any good cos I've only used it a few times

Years and years! Tried a few things but mostly just covered it up with nail polish and pretended it wasn’t there! Xx

Go to a chiropodist!

It's really common. A pharmacist can give you advice, or if the stuff they give doesn't help then a podiatrist. In my area you can refer yourself to that. But some you have to go through GP. It's not anywhere near as gross as many a fungal nail I've seen btw 🤣

Foot health professional or podiatrist will help you. If it is fungal,the nail needs prepping before applying an antifungal for best results,and i would not be able to really tell until i took a look at it. (I have many decades of experience in this area). You need to get it looked at by a professional.

My pharmacist told me that Daktarin and the like aren’t very successful in treating a long established fungal nail infection and the only thing that will really shift it is a course of prescription anti fungal tablets. I’ve had similar advice from a chiropodist.

Not necessarily. Oral antifungals can be particularly harsh on the liver, and are a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I treat plenty of drs who won’t go down the tablet route. Speaks for itself imho.
