How can i tell provided yellowing of my ample toenails is from nail fungus or from constantly care them painted?

Vincennes

I accumulate my toenails painted most of the time and my ample toenails own yellowed (they've been this way for a couple of years). I own no swelling, thickening, or crumbling of the nail. There is sometimes some slightly foul smelling debris that collects in the corners of the toenail, however aside from that and the yellowing, the nails own never been any other colour (such as brown, atramentous, or white), the skin has never been scaly, brittle, nor delicate. Is it possible that care polishes on your toenails most of the year could reason this yellowing, or is this a nail fungus?

Yes wearing nail polish frequently causes yellowing of the nails. Usually provided you stop wearing polish for approximately a week the yellowing will activity out. Provided your nails are still yellow after two weeks, I would activity to a doctor to test provided you own a fungus.

luckily you dont own toenail fungus. Before it turns yellow you see white flakiness around the nail, then it gets really thick and yellow. I understand this bc I started to amuse toenail fungus... had to take the pills for 3 months to cure it up luckily I caught it early. Provided your nails are not getting all misshapen / thick / with white adamantine flakiness on the top you don't own it. :)

I own nail fungus! Plan of activity:1) Wait for a month to see provided it comes bigger, and accomplish not place any nail polish. Provided it does, you'll understand that the nail polish was the problem and can either acquisition a altered brand or quit using it altogether (in my belief, it's certainly unnecessary, however I'm a guy so that's what I'd say besides).3) Provided it doesn't alter to bigger, activity to the doctor! It will probably be nail fungus, and you will probably be prescribed some colouring on varnish or tablets to attending after the problem. These would take at least a couple of months to annihilate the fungus.4) Provided you don't want to activity to the doctor (or podiatrist), see provided you can amuse medication that doesn't require a prescription, or by tea tree oil from the Pharmacy and put some on your nails twice a time. Using tea tree oil will take up to a year for it to be cured. It may be helped by walking encircling less in your shoes encircling the abode and garden, and bacteria alone thrives in wet, mildewed sock conditions and new air and sunlight aid to banish the fungus. Great luck! Nail fungus can be very embarrassing, and persons will point it outside to you, however don't worry, since anyone who is merciless enough to tease you for it aloof plain stupid.
