rub some neosporin on them they should go away within a few days. Don't try to cover them with makeup it will cause an infection.

There is some over-the-counter treatments that you can "paint" on your nails, but from what I have heard from others that have used it, they do not work very well. Usually, you need to see a doctor for a perscription they can give you (it's a pill) that will take away the fungus. It's important you get it treated right away, because it can spread to your other nails, and even to all your finger and toenails! The only downside, however, is that even with medication it takes MONTHS to fully get rid of the fungus. It's nasty stuff!!!

Do you have an ingrown toenail? You should see a doctor before it turns green.

Nail Fungus will separate and the nail will turn color.  One home remedy is to use liquid Vicks every day inside the nail and keep your nails short.  It takes months, but you have a good posibility to keep the nail.  It works with the fungus on a few toes and it is almost gone.  Toes take about 12 months for the nail to grow out and show new nail.  Fingers do not take that long.  Otherwise, a doctor can prescribe Lamasil or simular medication.

Moisturizing/ treating them with a product called "Cuticle Eraser" from Creative Nail Design. Can be purchased at any respectable spa or salon.\n\nAlso go treat yourself to a proper manicure at a respectable spa, not one of those "chop shops".

May have an ingrown toenail.  You should get to the doctor and have that looked at.  They are very painful and will bleed badly just from bumping them.  If this is what it is, you will have to have your toenail cut out, not to gross you out or scare you, but my ex-boyfriend had a very bad one.  Good luck

KEEP YOU TOENAILS CUT, AND PACK A SMALL AMOUNT OF COTTON UNDER BOTH SIDES OF THE NAIL. THE COTTON LIFTS THE NAIL UP A WEE BIT AS IT GROWS AND KEEPS THE NAIL FROM GROWING INTO THE TOE, CAUSING THE "INGROWN" NAIL. IT TAKES AWHILE FOR THE NAILS TO GROW, BUT ONCE THEY HAVE GROWN UP AND OUT YOU WON'T NEED THE COTTON ANY MORE AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY.

My husband had this procedure done but they used the chemical right after they removed it.  They didn't guarantee it would work as it's difficult to get into the correct area.  They just swabbed it on and into the abscess left by the toenail.  It appears that the nail is growing back now, 6 months later.  They did tell us that just because it became ingrown before does not mean that it won't grow back correctly.  I understand you wanting to avoid the pain though, as my husband suffered for a long time before having it removed.  He was pleasantly surprised at how little the procedure bothered him in the end.  \n\nI'm sorry that I can't help with the specific information you requested but possibly I helped a little.  I would recommend you call the office to inquire about it. I think a nurse could provide you with the answers you are seeking.\n\nGood luck!

The best way is to have the nail removed.  See your doctor; this can be done under a local anesthetic in the office. It is not a long or complicated procedure.

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

Sorry I'm not a doc but I had an ingrown toenail when I was pregnant. I couldn't reach my toe very well and it was too sore to let anyone else touch. When I asked a doctor about it she was going to charge $80 to trim it (no way) but she gave me tips on how to trim it so that the nail would grow out (didn't work). Finally, after about 6 months of messing around with it the offending spur of nail got soft (yes it was infected) and came off. So, unless you have an angry red area that is shooting up your toe (serious infection) you probably are not at risk for gangrene. Yes I am a tightwad, and stubborn, and I should have gotten it taken care of sooner. But I lived though the whole thing and I still have my toe (which is starting to get sore again).

Try this product called Tend Skin. Bikini Zone works ok too (and you can get it at Wal-Mart). For treating ones you have already, go to a health food store and get some cream with Tea Tree Oil in it. That stuff works miracles on cuts, zits, ingrowns, any skin thing. Just put a little on it every day.\n\nWhen you first notice you are getting an ingrown try and pull it up from under the skin with a pair of tweezers or a needle after you wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. You can also use a hot compress (a warm washcloth) on the ingrown a few times a day to help work it out.

Well, it's time to let a doctor look at it. You may not have spotted an ingrown nail, maybe it is very much embedded in and you can't see it or there is something else embedded. Regardless of what it is , it sounds like it has an infection in it and those are nothing to mess with, those types of infections have a bad tendancy to spread through other parts of your body and then you have a serious problem on your hands.
