Suggest Treatment For Nail Fungus

What causes nail fungus? My husband had pockets of puffiness and cold sores over his face and neck at the same time. ER treated his face orally with an antibiotic for staph. The toenail fungus remains as he also has strange curves and ridges to his fingernails. 65, pre diabetic, cancer survivor and monitoring benign tumors in his lymph and thyroid nodes.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms of your husband seems to be related to fungal infection.
I suggest using an antifungal cream for local applications such as Clotrimazole cream.
I also suggest using an anti-fungal treatment such as Fluconazole 150mg per day for 3 days.
I recommend using cotton socks and maintaining a good hygiene.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
