I had a toenail fungus on both big toes from gardening for hours in wet sneakers. I tried everything, and finally read about castor oil which is an antifungal and it is also a gentle peel. So I started rubbing cator oil on my toenails every day twice a day. No nail polish. It took a long time (until the nails grew out) and I clipped my nails each week and cleaned the clippers afterwards, but my nails are beautiful now. I rub a little castor oil on them once in awhile now just for insurance. It’s a natural solution and no danger that come with the prescription pills that can cause congestive heart failure.

I’m 33 years old and have been fighting eczema my whole life. Just recently my nails (1 at a time) started pitting, turning flaky, etc. I’ve been to 2 demratologists and both say it is eczema of the nails. It’s now in most of my nails. I only have 2 with no signs, yet. I’m actually a pharmacist and at wits end with this. I don’t know what else to try. What treatments have you been using on your daughter’s nails? I’ve been taking Biotin Forte (a vitamin) and using various steroid ointments/creams for 2 months now and have seen NO results. I started a Dex Pak (oral steroid) today. Also, where did you find pictures? I’m having a hard time finding a good website. I’m doubting my diagnosis now, and getting very discouraged. You’d think I could come up with something being a pharmacist, but I’m clueless. Thanks, and let me know what treatments you are using and continue to use.

My young daughter has been diagnosed with fingernail eczema by a dermatologist, but we have been using the prescription for a month now and aren’t seeing ANY results at all. We have an appointment with her next week, but I’m a bit hesitant to ‘try’ again. Her nails don’t look like any of the pictures that I’ve seen on the web. They are very thin and flaky. Not yellowing or thickening at all. It is now on three of her fingernailsand moving to a fourth and begins with pitting in the nails. I would love to try a natural rememdy, but don’t quite know where to start. Do you have any suggestions for me or do I just need to be patient and continue with what we’re already doing?

The fingernail fungus picture I saw on a website said that fake nails can contribute to the problem. My nails are flaky, brittle and whitish and am not sure if I have it or if it’s a vitamin deficiency. It isn’t as yellow as the pictures I saw of finger fungal infections.
