Holiday with new partner and embarrassing problem

155 replies

Amberjane41 · 04/06/2024 00:00

I’m so embarrassed. I’ve had a fungal nail
infection which has spread from my middle toe to big toe nail. It’s now thickened and looks obvious. I’ve been to the docs and got a lacquer and that’s all fine but I’m going on holiday for 2 weeks with a new partner and I’ve managed to hide it from him so far but he’s bound to see it by the pool and I can’t wear closed toe shoes all the time or he’ll think I’m weird! Im rubbish at doing my own nails at the best of time so I want to get a
pedicure to at least disguise it while im
away but google has come up with no salons that offer pedicures for people with nail infections so I don’t know what to do. Help! Anyone else has this issue? Anyone know what I can do?

Vicks vapour rub! A friend of mine had a nail infection for over a year, tried everything, & then someone told her to use Vicks and it went!

Obviously this isn’t going to help in time for you holiday but my husband had the same issue and it lasted years and the lacquer didn’t work. He was eventually given tablets he took for 6 months and it’s completely gone.

Unless he's got a foot fetish he won't be looking at your feet he'll be looking at your tits

Came here to say this 😂😂😂

I went to a foot clinic before holiday, she clipped most of my toe nail off and filed the rest back really thinly so I was able to paint it myself

I have this and tried all the treatments. Gave up in the end and just paint them now!
