Sort of bright yellow fingernails...??
Question: does anyone know something good to use to get rid of them? they also smell kind of bad right under the tips, so im guessing its a fungus, ive been using green tea antimicrobial nail solution and its been helping a little i guess but ive had them for weeks now sooo help please?
Answers: It sounds like a fungus infection. You need to not wear any fingernail polish for a while ... the air can't get to your nails to help them heal. You can buy a LIQUID anti-fungal at Wal-mart or most drugstores. LotriminAF makes some, ReclearAF does also. I am sure there are more brands out there. Put a drop of the liquid under your nails and work it under and around all edges of the nail with a toothpick. You need to do this twice a day for 4 weeks. It takes a long time for a fungus to clear up. If it is not better after 4 weeks, you need to see a doctor. They can give you a prescription for pills, but it is really hard on your liver so they will only do it as a last resort. If the pills don't work it requires nailremoval, so be really good with the liquid. It cleared my fungus infection up under my toenails.
There are so many causes of chromonychia (nail colour changes), it's difficult to say what exactly is the cause.
The best method is to see if the colouration is on the nail plate itself or the bed (skin under the nail). Press the nail and release, to see if it turns white as the blood is pressed out of the area and turns pink again when it returns.
If the nail is still relatively transparent/shiny and you can see the lunula (the half moon shape), it may be surface discolouration. Causes of this include dyes and especially chemicals in nail varnishes.
If the nail is not transparent, instead yellowed and with debris under the nail, it may well be an infection due to a fungal dermatophyte.
One thing to note is that 50% of onychomycoses are NOT fungal, so you need to see the doctor or a podiatrist to receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.
Another (less likely) cause might be, drugs like tetracyclene.
Go see your doctor. It may require antibiotics or an antifungal.
