Dear lybrateuser,
- Do not wear tight shoes as the pressure on on the nails leads to diminished blood supply causing the nail to become dead
- do not try to remove the dead nail yourself, consult a close by doctor if nail doesn' t fall of by its own
- avoid alcohol & smoke if you do
- do regular exercise with proper fit shoes for healthy nails as it improves the blood supply
- for pain take a pain relief tablet after meals.

We grow up thinking of our nails as dead cells and pay attention to them only to trim them once a week. If you re a woman, this might extend to painting them in different hues. However, the shape, texture and natural colour of your nails along with the rate at which they grow says a lot about your overall health.

Most likely, your nails are infected with fungus and need consistent prolonged treatment with oral and local antifungal medicines, for about 12 to 18 weeks. You ask for private consultation on Lybrate regarding this problem and get the necessary prescription.

You can get over this disorder if you combine therapy with medication. Medication alone will not resolve this condition. In counseling, you will learn skills, tools, and techniques to cope with the rituals and especially to deal with the fear. Please take your parents with you to meet the counselor to determine the possible developmental issues that may have contributed to this condition. Your mom's death was only a trigger. This is a fear-based condition and for some reason, you have not been d...more

It's important to discuss any concerns about medication, especially when it involves managing a condition like ocd (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Here's some general information about the medicines you mentioned:
fluvoxin (fluvoxamine): this is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri) commonly used to treat ocd. Ssris are often the first line of treatment for this condition.
Restyl (alprazolam): this is a benzodiazepine, a type of medication typically used for anxiety or panic d...more

Yes you will become better eventually. Fluoxetine is a good medication for ocd but it may take few months to a year also. Please consult your psychiatrist regularly and adhere to treatment.

You are relying too much on the medication to solve the problem, which can be pretty futile. Please seek the help of a counselor too.

Hi,
it is all due to exacerbation of your ocd symptoms. It's in your best interest if you consult a psychiatrist in-person and initiate treatment which will help you a lot and you will probably see the difference in 2-4 weeks. If you are already taking treatment then you need to discuss with your psychiatrist to further optimise the treatment regime to make it more effective.

Asalamualykum lybrate-user,
see, the point is that the medicine you take for ocd only works on calming the symptoms. We call them nuerosuppresents. What they do is they basically calm you down until another dose is required. They never help you solve the underlying problem. The thing is that only therapy can do that. There are a lot of underlying thoughts or even trauma that needs to be resolved that will itself resolve the issue. If you need any help kindly do not hesitate to message me.more
