Hi, I would like to ask about my 3 year old daughter. One of her toes, has been suffering from allergies. But only a very small area is affected, where her toenail is growing. We applied different anti-fungal creams already. It dries but it comes back after 2 or 3 days again. May I know what causes it? And, any other possible implications?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. You should first investigate the type of infection she is having. I advise you should do fungal KOH examination from the nail scraping. If you see the fungal hype from the nail scraping, then you can take the antifungal treatment under your doctors' guidance. Please take the completed treatment. Antifungal treatment for nail is prolong and should be taken for 3 to 4 months or fungal infection is completely eradicated. Please maintain good Chat Doctor.  Avoid frequent immersion of the nail in the water. This will help cure the fungal infection. Also avoid injury to the part of the nail. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
