Is There Any Natural Remedy For Curing Fungal Infection On Fingers And Toes?
Hello,
I have a fungal infection on my fingers + toes. I think I got it from going to the swimming pool. The doctor told me to take Daktarin which seems to work slowly on my toes but not on my fingers. Is there a natural remedy I could use to combat this fungus? I have used Daktarin for 2 weeks now.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having fungal infection of toes and the fingers it is called as tinea ungum. These fungal infections will affects the nail and skin and it will eat away the structure and giving wired appearance.
The natural remedy is keeping these area dry and clean, because it will sustain for longer period in wet and moist area. Your symptoms requires medications otherwise it may spread to other parts of the body too.
I would suggest you to follow
1.Maintain good hygiene
2.Oral Flucanazole, once weekly for 6-8 weeks
3.Topical antifungal cream.
These remedies will help you to control the infection and makes you comfortable.
Thank you.
