Medical Forum / General / General / June 2005Skin question
I have a question totally unrelated to my other posts: The palm side of my right hand for about 7 months or more has dry flaky type skin. It is hard to describe. It does not itch or anything. My left hand is completely normal. Dont have this anywhere else on my body. I have for about a year noticed that I have discolored areas under my toenails. WOuld this somehow be related? > I have a question totally unrelated to my other posts: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I have for about a year noticed that I have discolored areas under my > toenails.

Hello, I have a medical book that was written by a doctor. In the back of the book, the doctor explains various medical terms. I'll write what it says about the word Fungus--mold or yeast that may infect skin, internal surfaces (mouth, vagina) or tissues. Fungas Infection-Infection caused by fungus. I should note that I am a doctor. Your doctor should be able to determine whether or not it is a fungus.

What do you think it is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well doctors have told me this is probably a skin fungus, and methinks you spread it from your feet to your hands simply by touching your feet. In my case, the palm flaking was self-limited and went away on its own, as the doctor said it would. But you may have a stronger strain of fungus. If it is already under your fingernails or toe nails, you better see a physician. Quack quack, David H ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
