What Causes White Powder Like Substance At The Finger Cuticles Of An Infant?
My 23 month old grand daughter has white powder like substance at the cuticles of all of her fingers on her left hand. I have done some research and have found the closest thing I can- by looking for Childhood white superficial onychomycosis caused by Trichophyton rubrum. I only found an article, which really wasn t much help. Can you share any more info on it, or what type of procedure is needed to diagnose or treat it?

Hi. I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar from Healthcaremagic. I suggest that your baby has got a mycosis, meaning a simple fungal infection. She needs a medicine like ketoconazole in the correct dose for babies, or giseofulvin tablets. I suggest that you ask the question in the public forum. Thanks.
