Hello Doctor, I Am 35 Years Old Female. In Middle
Question: Hello Doctor,
I am 35 years old female. In middle fingerof my right hand, there is Yellow colouration of the left side of the nail with greenish gunk under the nail.
2. Right thumb: yellow colouration on the right side of the nail with gap under the nail which accumulates dirt. Last time, this one got cleared when I cut my nails but it has come again now.
Left hand:Middle finger: yellow colouration of the right end of the nail.
I could also scrap some white powdery thing from under the nails(all the nails) everyday.
Bumps in the head:
I have tiny painful bumps under the scalp which is spreading to other parts of the scalp. I consulted a doctor a few years ago. He asked me to use scalp shampoo, which reduces the pain when the bump comes, but doesnt prevent the bumps from coming. The bumps come and go. Only I could feel it. But it is not even visible and easy to find for others.
I have both these problems for past 3 - 4 years. Please advice.
PS: I Was treated for feet psoriasis a few years back.

Brief Answer:
Nail fungal infection and scalp folliculitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
You seem to have a fungal infection of your finger nail. I would suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g either Terbinafine 250mg tablet or Itraconazole 100mg Capsule once a day for 2-3 months. These are prescription medications. For scalp, you may try using a cetrimide based shampoo e.g cetrilak 5% solution for shampoo. Use every alternate days. Avoid hair oil.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
