What can I use to get the fungus off of the nail right away? I have tried several topical ointments, but it doesn’t always remove the color. Can this be done? Can color be removed?

My client is in her 30s and has been getting basic manicures since February. She suddenly developed white spots and the following week, the spots appeared to have spread on the nail plate (and they were larger). She said she was under stress. Is this a fungus? Her doctor told her not to get any more manicures.

I am a hairdresser and for the last eight years, my nails have lifted off the nail bed at the tip, but stay attached at the base and sides. It is extremely painful when I hit my nail on a surface. I first noticed this after I had Lyme Disease and began taking Rocifin IV. At the time, I wore sculptured nails but have not worn them for years. I have taken medications for nail fungus, but is not a fungus. There are time when I get pain in the finger and the tip, and it gets very hot and lifts some more. Other times I will get a discoloration of the underside of the nail. That is when it starts to reattach, but not for long. I have seen two dermatologists, a general practitioner, and an internist – no luck so far. Could you please tell me what to do?

I have two clients, one is 63 years old and the other is 30 years old, and both have a nail that splits right down the center. They each say it has done this for years and don’t remember when it started. I have covered it with acrylic to keep it from snagging on everything and hopefully to get a little length on the nail. What causes this and is there anything that I can do for them?
