Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 12 yo son has some kind of fungus growing under his toenails. And his big toe nail has a slight gap under it that keeps getting stuff under it. His nails have a slight under curve. His Dr took a tiny nail clipping to test and everything came back negative. It s gross and we don t know how to treat it. Should we take him to a podiatrist?
It can be treated using anti fungal medicines like Fluconazole and locally ointment like Luliconazole may help. Kindly take them after dermatologist consultation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
