Question 1

I'm noticing that my left index fingernail is turning kind of yellowish or orangish. Is this something I should be worried about? I do smoke weed and cigarettes a lot, and I usually drink alcohol on weekends. Could these habits be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Yellowish or orangish discoloration of the nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or staining from smoking. It is important to address the underlying cause. You can try using an antifungal nail lacquer like Ciclopirox (8% solution) or Amorolfine (5% solution) daily for several months to treat a fungal infection. Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption can also help improve the health of your nails.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with healing.

Question 4

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.
