Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I always have had beautiful finger nails. Recently it appears that I have a fungus. My nails are extremely thin and splitting down the middle. It stat parted with my pinky and ring finger and is now showing on the middle finger nail. What could this be from? Should I be concerned that I may have other health issues?
For fungal infection in fingernails you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet lotion or clo-trimazole cream locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
