Other Candiasis Inffections

[Guest guest]

Candidiasis is simply a yeast infection. Yes ,guys, we get them too and are more

suceptible because of our compromised immune system. For years, in another city,

my DR loooked at my nails at every visit. Now I know why. I am currently

finishing treatment for an infection under my nails. It showed up as a dark 1/4

moon shaped discoloration just below the tips. A quick visit to the derm,

assured it is very common, and an at home cure: soak my nails in a mixture of

equal parts vinegar/water for 10 min at least 1xday for 30 days- smells so good.

Yuch! It has worked. After 30 days I have 2 nails that have not cleared up

completely. Do not forget about your toe nails. I thought mine were just ugly,

but not now. Of course there was cross contamination from my nail care tools.

Just disinfect with 90% rubbing alcohol, or vodka if you prefer, just take that

shot of vodka 1st. Also check conditions at your nail salon for proper

sterilization of tools or bring your own if there is any doubt.
