Fungal fingernails: what helps on your hands
When you think of fungal nails, you probably think of feet. But a fungal nail infection can affect your fingernails too. That’s annoying, because your hands are always on show. You can care for fungal fingernails at home, the same way as toenails: peptide drops at the base of the nail, every day, while the nail grows out. Do mention it to your GP as well, so your hands and feet are looked at together.
- One routine for fingernails and toenails
- Painless, fragrance-free and colour-free
Caring for fungal fingernails at home
You’ll often recognise a fungal fingernail because the nail turns yellowish or whitish, thickens or crumbles. It often starts from athlete’s foot or a fungal toenail, or on hands that are often wet, for example from cleaning or work.
Fungal fingernails are often treated with tablets from the GP or with laser treatment, and neither suits everyone. The tiptoe routine is a different approach: you do it yourself, at home, in a few minutes a day.
Twice a day, you apply tiptoe naildrops at the base of the affected nail, where new nail grows. Keep the skin around the nail clean and dry, and use your own towel. Are your toenails or feet affected too? Then care for them at the same time, because a fungal infection can pass from your feet to your hands and back again.
- Painless: you apply the drops yourself, at home
- No appointments and no waiting lists
- The affected nail grows out, so give it time and stick with it
- Fragrance-free and colour-free, also during pregnancy and with medication
