Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Strange question to ask on this board its a possiblity....do you ahve fake nails by any chance? if so, when the3 nail lifts, water gets trapped and its the perfect medium to grow the so called water mold. If you can tolerate it...Listerine works as a disinfectant, also, tea tree oil.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 No, I don't have artificial nails. Have never had them, and have not used nail polish for at least 25 years. I keep my nails what I consider to be a normal length - not too long and not too short. And I live in an apartment, so I don't do any outside work such as gardening. Only thing I do is clean my apt. which is loaded with rust colored mold. And although I thought it was also a strange question to ask on this board, I'm glad I did, because I got some very good advice.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 T -Tree oil Will or Vinegar I tested it on a friend it worked man did those feet pay off when the shoe wasn't on. E [] Re: green nail & psorasis Barb, If there is some type of fungal infection involved with the nail anything you use will not work over night or even in a couple of days. My first suggestion is the white vinegar, only because many have told me who have had nail fungal infections, said it worked. Soak a couple of times a day if you can and it may take several weeks to several months. For psorasis I recommend the same thing and if it is too sensitive to use straight white vinegar, cut it with water. Until it starts to heal and then use straight. I would also recommend using peroxide and baking soda and use it like a paste. They are both great antifungals. The vinegar is also good for bacterial. I am not a doctor, but I think it would be a good start before running to one. It's an easy remedy that can be tried first. Otherwise, contact your local physician.
