Just wanna do a quick post on what's kinda worrying me lately. Apologies if pictures gross you out but they are truly, in my opinion, much less gruesome from what I find online.
"Kinda" because normally I hear good things if not praises about my nails. They're hard, healthy, curved in a beautiful way that manicurists asked for modeling in contests. Not always, not often, but still, asked once or twice..
"Kinda" because of all the good things I always hear I've never associated "my nails" with "fungus".
Now, I'm not even sure if it is because pics I'd found are those in late stages which worried me even more. And I didn't find out they're fungus because im diagnosed, I was told it was, by manicurist.
They didn't actually tell me. Now, I visit them every 3-4 weeks, I usually remove my own polish off the fingernails and most of the time couldn't bother with the toe nails. I can keep the polish well for very long and since toe nails grow much slower, they are still 'presentable' when I revisit. SO! I've seriously not seen my nude toe nails for a very long time. And for the chances I get to see them during pedicures I'm either watching shows or gossiping, just simply not paying enough attention. So when I saw these black spots on my last visit, I was shocked! More shocked when 'fungus' was ringing in my ears. They're coincedentally at the same inner corners, and the ladies said it could be due to pressure from knocks or tight shoes. I don't remember having either. I however took it very positively 'cause they said mine is really at beginning stages and is curable if treated early which is NOW.
And that was last month in April. They sold me this spray by Footlogix which is commonly seen in nail spas here. Because of the beautiful nail art the pedicurist drawn, I didn't remove the polish till a few days ago but've sprayed the medication religiously. And yet they're still here! Now I can worry, can't I?!
I wanted to see a doctor but I thought the patch on the left toe faded a little now that I'm spraying without a wall of polish. I though perhaps I should finish the can of medication?
Anyhow, I wished someone would tell me if this is fungus and whether it will grow out. (They do look like they're at the same spots after 3 weeks!)
