Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have went to a dr about a problem I have been having with my Big toe toenail. it is barely attached towards the cuticle, the rest of the nail is not attached to my toenail bed.. this had been this way for over a year now. they told me to use over the counter fungal crème, I have used it over and over and no changes. could this be due to circulation? on the same foot I broke my baby toe about 2 years ago and it healed abnormally and literally changed the way I step on it.could this be part of the issue?
Topical antifungals have less penetration. Terbinafine , though does show good results. The nail can be removed via wedge resection if its not tethered to its base, completely or if its necrotic.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
