Fungis or Fungi that feed on living things are parasites. Fungi love places that are warm and wet so they can grow. Sound like somewhere you know? Thats right your feet are a perfect habitat for certain fungus. Killing it can be difficult sometimes. There are plenty of over the counter products but some require a long treatment period because they are hard to kill. Wearing open shoes without socks to keep your feet dry will help until it is cleared up. Use talk powder to absorp moisture when you have to wear shoes. Good Luck!

Vitamin D from sunlight and not from mucous milk could help significantly. \n\nEating more raw fruits and vegetables will help\n\nI would drink a daily drink of half unsweetened apple juice/grape juice with a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, a dash of turmeric, cinnamon, turmeric, and one drop of wild oregano oil. When the yellowing fades, I would continue the drink but quit using the oregano oil.\n\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&t=32541\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=740&t=32560\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=172&t=32588\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=605&t=30517\n\nIt is good that you are picking up on your bodies cues to hydrate itself and give your body good circulation.

You have to make sure your shower, bath mat, shoes and socks have been treated/washed as well. They carry the bacteria so even if you are treating your feet, if you are still showering or using the infected surfaces (bath mat, shower, shoes etc) then the fungus wont go away. If you have cleaned everything and you still cant get rid of the fungus, id go to a doctor just to make sure it really is athletes foot and not something else.

Toenails are tough.  Ever heard that?  Tougher than toenails..\n\nBut there is a chance that hiding behind your injury you have nail fungus.  Perhaps you had it before, in fact.  I cannot see your toenail from here so only a doctor or somei=one in the know could tell you for sure, but toenails that grow upward or have thickening can be fungus infected.  A damaged toenail has to be pretty damaged to not finally heal. You would have to have something eqaul to a horse stepping on your toe to do irreversable damage.  \n\nIt sounds like you love your toes, see a doc, be sure you do not have fungal toenail.  Easy to treat in the start, hard to treat when it is older and established.  \n\nI have seen a lot of fungal toenails in my time.  I am against them.  \n\nGood luck.  Take care.

I found and copy/pasted some good stuff for you:\n\n- Practice good foot hygiene to keep bacteria levels at a minimum.\n\n- Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. Dry thoroughly.\n\n- Change your socks and shoes at least once a day.\n\n- Dust your feet frequently with a nonmedicated baby powder or foot powder. Applying antibacterial ointment also may help.\n\n- Check for fungal infections between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you spot redness or dry, patchy skin, get treatment right away.\n\n- Wear thick, soft socks to help draw moisture away from the feet. Cotton and other absorbent materials are best.\n\n- Avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes. Instead, wear shoes made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let your feet breathe.\n\n- Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you frequently wear athletic shoes, alternate pairs so that the shoes can dry out. Give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out between wearings; if the odor doesn't go away, discard the shoes.\n\n- Always wear socks with closed shoes.\n\n(Those are all preventative measures.  If you still run into persistent problems, there are more aggressive treatments you can look into, like electrolysis.  For severe, persistent cases a nerve in the foot can even be cut.  For less severe cases, there are home remedies... like soaking your feet in strong, black tea for 30 minutes a day.)

Try anti fungal foot drops on your fingers. Maybe that could help. Look in the footcare section at your local supermarket/retail pharmacy store. Look for a clear bottle called something like Lotrimine, not the cream u want the drops. try putting that on your bare nails. Also report the nail salon to your local health department if they caused this. You could take the nail shop to small claims court and sue them for the medicine to heal your nails because they are not following health codes.

My guess it is a fungus. Try asking your dermatologist. They should know. Or, if you get your nails done, your nail stylist may also know. Good luck.

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

Since there are a number of conditions that can lead to the loss of a toenail, please do not try to self-diagnose or diagnose from what people tell you at this site.\n\nYou need to go to your primary care doctor, who may order some tests or who may be able to diagnose your case and prescribe a remedy by just looking at your toe.

Fungus on Toe nails\n\nYou may want to try Tea Tree Oil on your nails (with a bandage), an essential oil from an ancient Australian kind tree. These oils are part of the immune system of the plants, which also have to prevent the microorganisms, such as fungi, to feel invited. These microorganisms only thrive in other beings, when the immune system of these beings is down. When the immune system, which includes our life energy, is strong, no bacteria, virus or fungus can even come close. They are repelled by our life energy like raindrops from a  rain coat! This can be seen on Tesla-Kirlian life-energy photographs, made with an electric camera.\n\nYou may also want to check your pH (urine and saliva) with pH paper from the health food store. The pH paper measures the acid/alkaline balance. In my experience the pH of urine and saliva should be 7.5 at all times.\n\nIf it is not, all kinds of unnatural events can happen, called diseases. \n\nAn alkaline-forming diet is helpful to keep our immune system in good shape, as is Dinshah Color MedicineTM, which is easy to learn.\n\nYou may want to get Silicea, a homeopathic tissue salt, to support your immune system. Place 4 pills and an ounce of water in a dropper bottle, shake and take a drop or two under your tongue very often (may be every few minutes) until the condition gets better. Then less often but at least 5 times a day (about every two hours) to keep up the healing energy.\n\nOur body is self-cleansing by nature, when we give it the right fuel: in the form of alkaline-forming food, or as energy with essential oils, or Dinshah colors.\n\nHappy sandal season!\nCordially, India.Magica

What causes an ingrown toenail?\n\nWhile many things can cause ingrown toenails, the major causes are shoes that don't fit well and improperly trimmed nails. Shoes that are too tight press the sides of the nail and make it curl into the skin. Nails that are peeled off at the edge or trimmed down at the corners are also more likely to become ingrown.\n\nTo avoid ingrown toenails, you should cut your nails straight across. The top of the nail should make a straight line.\n\n\n\nWhat is the best treatment for a painful ingrown toenail?\n\nWhen the problem is mild, you may only need to soak your foot in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes and place dry cotton, such as part of a cotton ball, under the corner of the nail. Signs that the problem is getting worse include increasing pain, swelling and drainage of the area. Sometimes minor surgery is needed to remove the part of the nail that is poking into the skin.
