Does Salicylic acid work on toenail fungus infection and why were my results negative?
A week ago my Doctor prescribed me Salicylic acid 10% for my fungus toenail infection. The other thing is that the Doctor told me to book an appointment with the Nurse so she can take a few nail clipping and send them off to the microbiologists. The dumb nurse asked me if I have brought my nail clippings with me and I said to her I thought you was going cut my nails for me and then she said dont worry I will cut your nails for you. And then she cut nails with scissors because she did not have a nail cutter and she could only take tiny bits of nails because the scissors wont could not cut through the nails properly. 2 weeks later the results came back and the results was negative even the doctor e
was confused because he can deffinatley see that it is a fungul nail infection and I told im that the other toenails are started to become infected so then he prescribed me Salicylic acid
10%. The other thing I cant get round is why were the results negative and does Salicylic acid work
thats what they use on warts , so i dont know why he would give that to you for a fungal infection. I know that athletes foot and jock itch creme work for fungal skin infections….. hope you get better.
oh and get a second opinion , it doesnt seem the doc and his staff commuincate well…..
Salicylic acid dissolves skin and doses high enough to kill the dermatophyte that causes onychomycosis (nail fungus) would burn your skin something fierce. The way to eliminate nail fungus is to interfer with the critters ability to replicate. I USED to have it myself.
