Oh the joys!

Are there are ladies in the UK who've had this during pregnancy and did they find out from their GP or Pharmacist what could be a safe treatment option? As in, the nail polish type treatment that you paint on?

I've read home remedies like diluted tea tree oil can work but would rather check first what some of you may have been advised by your GP or pharmacist?

Thanks!

I have the same. I was told that there is nothing available suitable for pregnancy, including the nail varnish treatment 🙈

I have the same. I have tried many home remedies and the nail varnish prior to getting pregnant. Nothing worked. I accepted I can do nothing til after the baby is born and then I will prob go to the GP for antibiotics.

@BeMorePacific Thank you! In this weather and with open-toes shoes it's just so embarrassing. 😞

Looks we will wait until after pregnancy to get some treatment then!

The only thing I found that worked were terbinafine tablets, but they're definitely not suitable from pregnancy.
