Health Query

I am an 18 year old female. I have had toenail fungus for as long as I can remember, possibly stemming from very poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation is genetic and my siblings have it too, but they don’t have toenail fungus. It’s very likely that I have raynaud's phenomenon. I don’t have any other health conditions and I have a strong immune system, but my diet is extremely poor. I really want to get rid of this toenail fungus as it makes me self conscious and i’m worried about the fungus possibly getting worse or entering my bloodstream. They are brittle, yellow, deformed, curved and broken. It’s worrying too that when I cut one of the nails it starts bleeding. Like the inside of the nail begins to bleed out, as if there’s a blood clot behind it or something. I’m freaked out that it’s something serious. I really don’t want to take oral medication so if there’s any applicable medication to put directly on the nails or any home remedies especially, I would appreciate that. I really need help. I’d like to know why it starts bleeding, and how I can stop this. Thanks zoe.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you let a nail fungus infection go for too long, several problems emerge. The infected nail can become misshapen and increasingly separated from your nail bed. Itching and pain are unpleasant side effects; if they're too severe, you can have trouble wearing shoes or walking.

Hello doctor, actually a little part of my toenail was torn and I cut it off. But there is a little bit of black colour substance now on the top and the nail is a little bit (very little) darker. It also pains a lot. I do not know what to do and I found it very important to consult an specialist. Please suggest me some homemade or natural help.

It is common for a nail to turn black after an injury. The black or purple-black colour is caused by blood under the nail and will go away as the injury heals.

Mobile radiation as such is harmful for anyone. it doesnt have any published evidence tht it increases the infection. so it's better to limit mobile usage.

Cause of black lines on the nails is a splinter hemorrhage, which occurs when blood vessels under the fingernail are damaged, often due to injuries, such as hitting. More seriously, a black line or lines on the nails can indicate the presence of melanoma. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure a proper treatment plan.

Health Query

My nails recently developed thin white bands, irregularly located. Before this both my pointer fingers grew transverse w-shaped ridges at the same time and they are now halfway through (i.e. They moved with my nail growth). They have white bands in the same place, which developed later in old nail, closer to the tip, the area between the ridges and these bands are lighter and slightly yellow tinted. The joints closest to my pointer tips crack when I bend them (but this is a recurring issue). I am most concerned by the sudden and recent appearance of white bands overnight in all of my nails--are they make lines? There are also some faint lines in my thumbnails (near the tips). Btw don't use the phone number it is not correct.

Actually I have an issue with the nail of a left finger of my hand. The nail seeks to be darken and to detach from the bulk of the finger. It is also deforming a bit. There is no significant pain around the nail. Additionally,the darkening started at one side of the tip of my finger, spreading towards the base, taking a you turn and eventually reached the other side of the tip of that nail. This problem started about a month before.
