How Do I Get Rid of Toenail Fungus?
  + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Caroline Hopkins | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Q: It looks like I have fungus beneath my toenail, but how can I be sure? Does toenail fungus go away on its own? Experts say these infections don’t go away on their own and can easily spread from person to person without treatment. “Fungus tends to be greedy,” said Dr. Boni Elewski, chair of the department of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Toenail fungus affects an estimated one in 10 people worldwide, and becomes more common with age — afflicting more than half of those ages 70 and up.

CNN —Actor Mandy Moore’s son recently woke up to a startling rash covering his body, according to her Instagram posts. Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. What is Gianotti-Crosti syndrome? Experts say they don’t know why some children get Gianotti-Crosti syndrome and others don’t, but it is thought to be a hypersensitive response to an underlying infection, according to the National Institutes of Health. Usually, the Gianotti-Crosti syndrome resolves itself over time — anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple of months, Levoska said.

In fact, the results reaffirm the reason why some dermatologists have changed the way they get their gel manicures or have stopped getting them altogether. “Tanning beds are listed as carcinogenic and UV nail lamps are mini tanning beds for your nails in order to cure the gel nail,” Curtis said. “I would recommend alternatives to gel nails, such as the new wraps that are available online.” (Gel nail wraps or strips are stick-on gel nail products that don’t always require being set by UV nail dryers.) Some salons use LED lights, which “are thought to emit either no UV light or much, much lower amounts,” Lipner said. Russak doesn’t get gel manicures very often but uses sunscreen and gloves when she does, she said.
