Re: fingernail infection ???

Hi Debbie __

I'd start on pre and probiotics. Garlic and Vita C would probably help too.

I have chewed my nails for years and have had nail infections now and then

also. What helps the best is using some lavender and calendula oils with

some epsom salts in soaks/baths after I pop it and let it drain. The

infection will just go away and it will heal up. I have never heard of a

fungal nail infection leading to puss but, it may I guess it could be

possible...Jenn L fingernail infection ???

Sue,

I don't usually respond to posts unless it sounds familiar to me. I am a

watcher though. I wanted to share my personal views about neosporin. I don't

believe in using it because it may heal up the open part of the wound but,

not kill all the nasty stuff inside always, so now, you might get an

internal infection. Also, isn't neosporin an antibiotic? Antibiotics gave my

daughter intestinal dysbiosis. We will never use them again unless she has a

live and death emergency. Neosporin can be absorbed through the skin etc. We

are facing a yeast/candida albican infection I believe was caused by using

them too often. That includes the neo. Just my opinion though. Jenn L

Hi Jenn --

Not sure who posted the neosporin suggestion, but it wasn't me.

I suggested Pre and Pro Biotics, garlic and C.

Debbie, someone posted about this same sort of thing in the past

couple of weeks... if you search the archives you will probably find a

lot of useful things there.

When my sons have this, I have them soak the fingers in warm epsom

salt water several times a day, usually about 20 minutes at a time.

Wrapping it well in a bandaid afterward also seemed to help.

Good luck!

Debbie,

I have had success using Manuka Honey for healing cuts and wounds. It's a

special honey from New Zealand that has special healing properties. You can

Google it and see for yourself what the uses have been for it. You can buy it

in most health food stores but make sure it has a healing factor of +15 (at

least). It's not cheap stuff, but then you'll have it on hand for future use.

It's pretty yummy too.

Good luck,

Sheri B.

About 2 months ago or so one of my fingers had a hangnail or

something like that and when i got rid of that and ever since has

caused me a lot of pain , would not heal, red inflammed, swollen

and now it's at the point of spreading across the nail bed and

actually looks like it's lifting at the base (where your cuticles

are)yellow too and almost looks like the nail is starting to lift

off. I orginally used a homeopathic remedy for it to help get the

pus out and help it to heal and that seemed to help a little but it

was still very painful anyhow long story short my sister advised me

to use neosporin which i tried but it's still not better . So does

anyone have any ideas or should i just go see a doctor to rule out

fungal infection?

Sorry to bother you all with this ?

Use some hydrogen pyroxide on it and then put calendula.

That should help to heal it

Neosporin is an antibiotic and is suppressive

I had alot of fingernail infections growing up and my mom had me soak my nail in

Lysol water. The old fashioned kind. I think it was 2 parts water. Smelly but

effective.
