Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
Usually the fungus can cause dysmorphic nail.
There are numerous causes of yellow nail. I advice you should be examined for the cause of the yellow nail.
Presuming the yellow nail as
fungal infection it want be treated in the 15 days.
You can take the
fluconazole treatment for long duration approximately 2 to 3 months.
Until whole of the new nail won't come out your partner remain infected with the fungal infection and you remain at risk of the infection also.
Please suggest your friend to not wet the nails for long period because this will cause the fungus to grow more.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious diseases specialist,
