[|Human|] Ive recently had an issue with an aggressive (yeast they said) nail fungus.  First my fingers.. Then it was clear, wore nail polish for 2 to 3 weeks and when we took it off, it was back and my nails are yellowed-orange and FLATTENED!  My big toes have it.  Im keeping them way short, clean, soaking in lemon 2x day, and tea tree oil as well as occasionally fungus med-over the counter, for nails.  Sugar is being avoided as much as possible as well as I do not drink other than one or two every few weeks.  PLEASE!!!  Help
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for putting up your query over here. I would like to know whether you have got diabetes mellitus. Agressive fungal nail infection more common with diabetes mellitus. If I were your treating doctor, I would recommend,-Oral antifungals like fluconazole/griseofulvin for few months. Topical antifungals won't treat the infection.-Soak the feet in warm water and Chat Doctor. Don't let moisture remain for long by avoiding wearing socks or shoes for long.Don't apply nail polish over the nail.-Keep diabetes within control by medications, diet,regular exercise and timely follow-ups with treating doctor. So visit to dermatologist/physician is necessary for the above-mentioned description
