Hello Everyone!!!
If you read my last post then you know I am having some majar nail problems. With your comment I came to know it is "Onycholysis". I knew nothin about it so I searched google and post about it on one of nail group on facebook that I am member of. The ladies there, were great help. Few suggested me a product called "Dr G" or any other anti nail fungus product. So I went for a haunt of "Dr G" few weeks back. Too bad I couldnt find it anywhere. I even asked for any other anti fungal product but it seems like no one knew what I was talking about.
After roaming around like 2 hours I thought of visiting near by drug store (clinic) and see if they had any anti fungus medicine (in my place we dont need strict doctor prescription to buy medicine.) So I showed my nail and asked if they had any anti fungus cream that I could use. The lady on the counter was kind enough to look at my nails and she said they do have some cream but she refuse to give it and strictly suggested me to go visit a doctor because this might be a serious health issue. She suggested if I would like a check up, they did have a skin doctor available right then.
A serious health issue?!?! what the hell. As I had searched google number of times to know about Onycholysis the word "serious" brought too many bad thoughts. Google can be frightening sometimes. I didn't had courage, so I booked the appointment for next Friday. I went home and told the family about it and mom being a sweetheart told me she will come along with me.
Finally the Friday came.I went to visit the doctor. I told him about my nails. He asked me number of question when I replied most of them as NO he finally settled to a FUNGUS infection on my nails (Yeah no serious health problem. what a relief *sigh*) The doctor said the skin under my nails started to get rotten. Like serious rotten, cant he use any other nice words to describe it. Rotten sounds like too degradable \:
I asked what caused the fungus but the doctor seemed to have no idea. I told my obsession about nail polish and he made it clear nail polish doesn't do that (Yeah again) He said this might be of water infection. I don't know whats that supposed to mean. May be too much moist on skin caused fungus?!?
He told me this is gonna take long time to heal, for now he said 6 bloody months. He prescribed me an anti fungus tablet for 3 month that I am supposed to take each day for 1 month and 1 in a week for 8 weeks, and anti fungus cream that I am supposed to apply twice a day until it gets healed. And he asked me to come back after 3 months. So that's my story.
