QUESTION (21\11\06):
Hi,I was just writting for urgent help!
I have white stuff in my toe nails and i have had tinea before
but have once got rid of it. This was 4 or 5 years ago. Just the other day
i had noticed it had come back again, guessing from playing indoor soccer.
But it is only on my big toe on my left. I had this
is 6 other toe nails last time. I have tried to cut most of the toe nail off
(along the left side where it has grown)
how am i able to get rid of this once and for all? it kind of embarrasing
when wanting to wear thongs..
could you please write back to me asap
ANSWER:
As you have found, this problem tends to recur during a person's life time.
Provided the affected area has not grown right down the side of the nail to
the base it can be fixed easily although it is time consuming.
The Loceryl nail paint you see advertised is expensive and doesn't work very well.
Our tinea cream works well when used as follows:-
- Trim off as much of the affected nail as you can , this may mean cutting
the nail as far down one side as possible leaving your nail misshapen. Don't
worry, it will grow back normally although you may have to put up with the
odd shaped nail for a month or two.
- Using a fine thin nail file, scrape under the remaining nail to remove
any white dry scaly nail which is fungus infected. There is usually a gap
between the nail and the skin underlying it do to the fungus. Try to reach
the base of the affected nail is possible. If note repeat the procedure each
week until you can.
- Take the tinea cream and pick it under the nail after your shower each day.
- Use white king or a similar chlorine bleach to clean the bath/shower each
week to destroy any spores that may reinfect other nails.
- Use our Deo-Fresh spray to spray in the footwear once or twice a week to
kill spore of the fungus that can remain in the footwear. An added bonus is
it deodorises sandals.
- In several months the nail will be as good as new
- To prevent recurrence you can spray Deofresh directly on the feet and
under the nails once or twice a week if you like.

Hi RCRC,
Our tinea ointment is effective for nail problems but is slow to work.
Most products are slower than ours however.
To use it you need to trim the nails back as far as possible then use a fine nail file or
implement to clean the under neath of the nail and scrape out the white debris which builds up
between the skin and the flesh.
This should be scraped back as far as possible so a long thin implement is useful.
Then pack the gap underneath the nail between the underside of the nail and the skin with the tinea
ointment. Repeat this at 3 days intervals, scraping the old ointment and nail debris out and packing
in fresh ointment.
It sounds time consuming but is really quit easy.
If the fungal infection has travelled almost the full length of the nail to the nail base then
the problem has become severe & you really should see a doctor for a course of antifungal tablets
such as Grisovin or Lamisil.
If the infection has travelled less than half way down the nail the Tinea ointment will
give good result over 3 to 6 months.
One Jar contains moiré than enough for a full course of treatment.
Kind Regards,
David Hosking.

Hi David
I was interested to find your web site after searching on Yahoo for solutions for tinea.
My question is - is your tinea cream effective on nails?
Two of my toe nails appear to be affected by this tinea infection as well.
If not, is there anything that you can suggest?
I have tried painting them with Daktarin solution and also Loceryl, but nothing seems
to have any impact.
I would be most grateful for any advice.
With thanks
RCRC
