Fingernail and toenail fungus - Information, Forum, Pictures

Do you think this is toenail fungus? See attached image. I have been trying to get rid of this for a wile, recently I clipped the top of nail damaged on left with nail clipper. It looks a lot better....but want to remove it forever, and first need to diagnose. It does not hurt. Just looks bad. I do have athletes foot which i am currently treating with cream. thx, Max (click photo to enlarge)

here are three photos my toenail.I am taking a tablet a day to get rid of it. Ive been on them now now three or four months and the toe nail is now getting painful when I wear my shoes. Mrs. J. B.

Hi toenailfungus.org;
I am sending you my photos of my hands and feet, because I want people with fungus to be happier with their diseases and thank to God when they see mine! Fungus has beaten me because after my child was born my fungus went very bad that nothing worked for it. So I gave up, no hope to wear sandals, or shake hands with anyone anymore. I hope it won't spread to my baby. I am so depressed. Sorry for this!
Bye,
S.

This is the same toe. Its the only toe affected badly at this time. I also have hammer toe and had an ulceration that took the wound center to cure.

Definitely a dark toenail...! Compare to the larger photo showing all the other toenails, which have not been infected.

Generally poor-condition toe nails, on both feet.. Note little small nail on person's right foot (right-hand photo)

I have an eleven-year-old nephew whom I believe has nail fungus both on his finger and toe nails. He has consulted a doctor who has prescribed some vitamin tablets, soap and a couple of other similar products. My nephew has been using these products for nearly nine months with no obvious recovery.

I am sending the photos of his finger and toe nails, please have look at these photos and let me know if I am right about the fungal infections and whether you can recommend a suitable product to end his agony.

Here is an example of my toe nail fungus.
I have a great deal of thickening of the nail, but not
as much discoloration as others that I've seen.

"I just sent in a photo of my foot with my big toe as the focal point.  For about a year now I've had trouble with my nail hardening and discoloring.  I'm not sure, but I'm assuming it's a fungal infection.  My nails are very hard to trim and I have to somewhat "dig" at them when I get an ingrown nail.  As I was doing this 2 days ago, I actually lifted my big toe nail up, at which point I slowly pulled it away from the nail bed.  this caused much bleeding.  Not very much pain until I had to detach it from the skin at the bottom.  I guess those nerve endings were torn apart.  At first I experienced a lot of bleeding, but then after letting it dry out it seems to be drying and trying to heal.  I will send another pic of the nail before it began drying out. It's starting to itch, and the area is very tender.  But hopefully I'm on my way to a healthier toenail. Sent in by: H. Photos #1.84 and #1.85 

"I cannot believe this is MY toe! Anyway, here is my picture. I am using the tea tree oil method. We'll see how it goes. My toenail looked pretty normal with just a yellowish spot on it & it was very thick. When I filed it down to thin it for the treatment....this is what I got!!! Argh!
Have a good day!" Sent in by S.G., thanks. Click to enlarge.

Hi I'm Patrick from the UK, 41 year old male ! I had just removed 3/4 of my toenail which had been dead for quite a while to discover a rather nasty looking remains underneath just before this photo was taken, I'm treating with tea-tree oil now, unfortunately I have to wear steel toe caps at work so that's rather a damp environment! ask if you'd like up-dates!! cheers, Pat Click photo to enlarge>>>
