For the last three years have been wearing artificial fingernails. I get a manicure once a week at which time my manicurist replaces them with a new set. My own nails have developed a fungus that is very ugly. I have tried Over the counter remedies but none of them has worked. I know i should probably Stop wearing artificial nails until this fungus clears up but i work in an office and can t possibly go to work with my hands looking this Way so these false fingernails Are a must. Is there some form of internal Antibiotic i can take to Clear up this fungus please Don t disclose my name or location. Anonymous dear Anonymous please see a dermatologist without further delay. I am amazed that a manicurist would continue to apply artificial fingernails on the hands of someone who is obviously struggling with a fungus problem.
