Buhahaha...I ve heard that 'there' is one of the cleanest places sha...But it depends on the owner! Your fingers prolly have more germinates sef.

MurderX:
Start using ketocanazo tablets and an anti fungal gel. It worked for me.

This worked for me too, had a bad finger for over 20yrs and that drug solved it in 2 months. Also start dipping your finger in dettol every morning for about 10 - 15mins. You will give the testimony very soon.

Fungal infections can stay for a lifetime but they dont like that drug at all.

Oluwafatpet:
Does it still pain like a fresh one or it doesn't..........I isn't natural oooo

chimkaire:
That's definitely not the finger in question, NO?

Darkchocolate:
Oh my God...that's a lot of YEARS to have one whitlow consistently without cure. Whitlow is caused by herpes virus so you seriously need to go to a doctor/dermatologist and get a proper anti-viral medication.

From the photo, your finger still looks infected and that thing is highly infectious.

Stancity:
Wicked boy. So thats the only solution your withlow brain can offer

DarryOsh:
Since you say it still gives you pain, I wonder if this is whitlow.
and your picture does not show the finger very well.

Anyway, my sister had something similar for years (not whitlow. Some infection, maybe) . She went to the hospital and all that and the nail continued to grow so weird and it often gave her pains. Eventually, she decided to just forget about it and leave it.

Then one day a total storage saw it and was like, "Omg! I know that thing. I had it for years. " then she told my sister how she got it treated. It was a 'bizarre' treatment. But she tried it. In weeks the rough finger fell off and she has her beautiful nails back. But treatment was painful.

Ghost447:
Always insert it inside toto

veekid:
soak it inside acid

cowgirl9090:
The way I see that finger coupled with the pain you feel sometimes ,the whitrow is not totally gone from that finger , because if the whitrow has been cured you won't feel a single pain even if it has deformed the finger . so my best advice I can give is to put that finger inside a boiling water not just hot water but a boiling water . put and remove 5times n a 3seconds interval , do it for three days and two times a day (morning and evening ) . because its only when the whitrow is gone (cured) can your finger starts healing up again, and you have to live with the fact that it will never be the same again .

boiling water cures it faster than anything, it cured mine in three days and a friend I told to do the same in two days.

Herpetic whitlow (whitlow finger)

Introduction

A herpetic whitlow, or whitlow finger, is an abscess of the end of the finger caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus (the "cold sore virus". It usually affects the fleshy area of the fingertip.

What are the symptoms?

The fingertip suddenly becomes red, swollen and extremely painful. Small white blisters develop underneath the skin of the finger, which may break to release fluid, eventually crusting over.

What's the cause?

There are two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV), type 1 and type 2. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause a herpetic whitlow. These viruses can also cause cold sores and genital herpes. A herpetic whitlow can develop as a secondary infection if you already have a cold sore or genital herpes and you touch the sore area of skin, transferring the virus from your mouth or genitals to your finger.

It can also develop if you touch the sore or blister of another infected person. You're at greater risk of becoming infected if you have a weakened immune system.

How to reduce pain.

Soak the infected area.

Warm water can provide pain relief from whitlow. This is best used when painful lesions start appearing on the infected area. You can add salt or epsom salt to the water to help with relief. The concentrated salt will diminish swelling in the effected area.

1. Fill a container deep enough for the infected area with warm water.

2. Soak the infected area for 15 minutes. Repeat as the pain reoccurs.

3. When finished, wrap the area with a dry bandage wrap to prevent disease transmission.

4. Add soap to the water for open blisters. If you've tried to burst or drain a vesicle, you can add regular or antibacterial soap to the warm water when you soak the area. While you may opt for antibacterial soap, studies suggest that regular soap works just as well at protecting against bacteria and infection. Keeping soap in the water can help prevent the spread of the condition as fluid from the infection mixes in with the water.

5. Magnesium sulphate paste can help with the pain and swelling associated with whitlow. Though this is widely documented, the exact reason behind this effect is still unclear. In a study published 2008, a group of patients with HSV 1 or 2 were treated with a mixture that included magnesium. The results showed that over 95% had resolution of symptoms within 7 days.
