I have two toes on one foot where the nails are white instead of yellow like yours, with the nails pointing up instead of curving the nail bed any help for me would be great as well.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi kids with yellow nails. The first thing I would think of would be some sort of fungus. And I would go to a podiatrist. If insurance doesn't provvide for a podiatrist, then go to any dollar store and see if you can pick up some tube of antifungal cream and put it on and under the nails affected. It takes a long time to get rid of a fungal infection, so I would buy several tubes. If it doesn't clear up after a couple of months, then go to your Internal Medicine doctor or General Practisioner and see what they have to say. There are other good liquid products such as Lamisil,etc. But they also cost a bit more. Try that route and see what happens. Let us all know the results. My best to you all and a Happy New Year.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 HI All, I don't know if this will help anyone....but while my mom was living with us and suffering with cancer, the podiatrist assistant would visit her at home to do her nails. Mom had developed this ugly fungus on her toe nails. The assistant mentioned (as did the potiatrist) that to keep fungus from growing on toenails (apparently we are all suspectible to this) to once a month wash the feet with athlete's feet soap. According to him, this will keep the fungus from growing on the feet/toe nails. I've never tried this, but someone out there may have additional information on this. If someone does know about this... could you post to help us out? Thanks Roni Re: rheumatic what causes yellow finger nalis? > I have SD and for the alst 8-9 months my finger nails and bed nalis have been in bas shape. > now my figer nails are yellow. does anybody have the same problem? does anybody know what is the cause of yellow nails? > thank you > soheila > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
