I have two very badly affected toenails. And I reckon they've been infected for years. First noticed it around 2003!! I had the nails analysed in a laboratoire and it was confirmed it was a fungal infection. Was prescribed that strong oral medication you take for six months (Lamisil?) but had to stop it as it made me palms itch so much. Plus I was TTC at the time.
Have also used PurNail (a fungal cleanse lotion I got from the US). This worked quite well but it never completely cleared it although I suspect it was because I didn't fully follow the instructions (put it on twice a day, every day).
Have decided I must do something about it as both nails just look awful - thick, distorted, yellow. Yuck.
I also get an itchy sole (the same foot as the nails) - it's like there are small spots under the skin. Other than that, you can't see anything. But it itches like hell!! I have some Daktarin cream at the moment.
For those similarly afflicted, any other ideas? I don't think tea tree will cut it - I remember a podiatrist telling me it was good for preventing it but not curing it.
