Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a major problem in my toenails. Kindly look at the picture and suggest a treatment.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

You are suffering from tinea unguium, which is a fungal disease of the nails. You have to keep your nails hygienic. Keep away from chemical irritants especially, soap and detergents as well as dish washing bar.

I suggest the following:

  1. Ointment Terbinafine for local application twice daily.
  2. Tablet Fluconazole once a week for three months.
  3. Tablet Neurobion Forte (multivitamin combination) twice daily.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines. Follow up after 30 days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
