Good point except i will replace dettol with epsom salt.
Cut nails regularly, Soak foot in water and epsom salt once a week. Use pumice stone take scrub off the dead skins. Towel dry and rub coconut oil on them. If no coconut oil use shea butter. If no shea butter use red oil but please abeg you make sure you dont have rat in your house otherwise you wake up minus few toes. Im serious.

I recommend this every night.

And use triple action antifungal creams also.

Hello doctors in the house, for a while now, my sister has been complaining of pain in her toe,
Initially I suspected it was "Athlete foot disease", she applied Some topical creams and the pain disappeared.

Not long ago, she started complaining of the pain again and it was worse than before. The pain was excruciating, most times, my sister wakes up crying

Doctors and pharmacists in the house, kindly help me check this out, pictures are attached below. The toe is also swollen. Help me diagnosis and effective medications please.

(PS: I still suspect it's Athlete foot disease or Onychomycosis, but I need better knowledge from the doctors in the house. Thank you)

The reason why it came back was incomplete and substandard treatment. By now she ought to be in the hospital
The doctor will ask so many questions to exclude the potentially dangerous foot lesions. If not careful she may loss the foot
PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR ASAP
Re: My Sister's Foot And Toe Are Causing Her A Lot Of Pain (Pictures) by Nobody: 11:12pm On Aug 10, 2020
She should make lipton tea everyday and just use the hot bag on the toe, morning and night. Within 2 weeks she will be well. She can throw the tea away just the hot tea bag. I did it and i have perfect toes now

Yeah it is a fungi infection probably Tinea pedis popularly called athletes foot which is gotten from public showers and swimming pool.

Re: My Sister's Foot And Toe Are Causing Her A Lot Of Pain (Pictures) by webgenius(m): 12:12am On Aug 11, 2020
Simple diagnosis: Ingrown toe nail on both sides of the great toe with superimposed fungal infection.

Recommended treatment
1. Better foot hygiene
2. Avoid walking unshod. Pictures show she walks barefooted frequently
3. Foot soaks using lukewarm water for 20-30minutes twice a day for 2-3 weeks. A single vial of 80mg of Gentamicin can be added into the water before foot soaks
4. Application of moisturizing creams or petroleum jelly eg Vaseline after foot soaks
5. Topical antifungals and antibiotics or oral broad spectrum antibiotics and topical antifungals. A combination of antifungal and antibiotic eg skineal or vecuten is useful. Please note that antifungals may need to be taken for 4-6months
6. Wedge resection of the nail and nail plate on both sides of the toenail, with preservation of the nail guaranteed for better cosmesis. This will require the skills of a well trained and motivated Orthopaedic Surgeon. This is not for any doctor or Surgeon.
If the above plan is followed , I guarantee 100% success.

It is not Athlete's foot, which is tinea pedis. This is ingrown toenail(Onychocryptosis) with superimposed fungal infection of the nail(Onychomycosis)

Go to the doctor and tell her to be compliant and consistent with the drugs given.She may have to be on treatment for many weeks.If she stops the medications before due time, it'll not go away.Fungal infections do not go away easily.

I'm not a doctor...but check if it's an "in-growing" nail....

Examine bottom left & bottom right corners of the nail thoroughly to be sure... ingrown nail can cause severe pain, swelling, infection and pus if left unchecked.

I no be doctor oooo! smiley

But from the pictures, that big toe looks like an ingrown toenail while those lesions between the toes looks like athlete foot. If it is, she will need a very minor surgery to correct it.

It would appear she walks around barefoot a lot. She needs to stop doing that.

Let her get a daily footbath of warm water and disinfectant (Dettol, Izal, etc) or even regular table salt. Let her soak her feet for about 20 to 30 minutes daily and then apply an anti-fungal cream especially between her toes before she goes to bed.

There is also this anti-fungal foot powder she can dust on her foot after the footbath. I can't remember the name now but any major pharmacy should stock it.

Last last, it would be a great idea to see a doctor sha. Though unless you see a specialist podiatrist, the likelihood is that they will just prescribe some anti-fungal creams and send her on their way.
