Does toe nail polish strengthen or weaken your toe nail?

So I am not a person to paint their toes, but I was not sure as to whether or not painting your toe nails was bad for the nail or good? Does anybody know if it even has an effect at all? Thanks!Does toe nail polish strengthen or weaken your toe nail?
All nail polishes contain many chemicals even the ones that say ';stengthens'; and so on. Whether your going to use it on ur fingernails or toes wont matter because nail polishes make nails weaker than they normally are. Alot of the time when a person buys and uses ';fortifying'; or '; strengthening'; polishes it seems the nails are harder thus stronger, but really its just the polish coat on the nail dried. Yes polishes do come with vitamins in few but they really dont help because the chemicals in polishes just wear them out. There are very few polishes that strengthen but are few and not easy to find.

How can you relive pain from and stubborn big toe nail?

the corner of my toe is in so much pain, i cut the nail so that its on an angle and its no were near the crease of my toes but the pain is still there.


Could it be a be a build up of skin and if so what should I do? should I be attempting this myself?How can you relive pain from and stubborn big toe nail?
i have had this before and i know your pain! The nerves in your cuticle in your toe are probably being pinched. It is no big deal, so you don't have to worry about going to the doctor. Just try to fight the pain and it will get better by itself. Avoid picking at your toe because it could cause bleeding if you end up cutting the cuticle and that makes the pain even worse!How can you relive pain from and stubborn big toe nail?
Hydrogen Peroxide solves everything, lol.

I don't know why you would want to relive any pain.
Go to the Doctor. They'll freeze it, and cut out a portion of your nail. It's very simple, and really not a big deal.

How much does it cost to treat an ingrown toe nail?

By yourself or by a doc ? Podiatrist or even general docs charge about 75.00 a visit so at least that plus products you may have to buy.





If you don't have any moula then try soaking your foot in very warm H20 w/ epsom salts in it (1.00 at the dollar store) and applying antibiotic ointment and cover w/ a dressing( I used duct tape to keep it in place) Do 1x a day-all products mentioned are at the dollar store so for about 5.00 you can treat the owie. I would say it should be lots better in two days or so but continue until all the pain and redness is gone.





As the toe feels better clean away skin ect. and file off to a straight edge that ends about the top off the toe-don't cut too short as thats usually what causes a ingown toenail.





Good luck !How much does it cost to treat an ingrown toe nail?

  • Is there any treatment that can get rid of finger and toe nail fungus in a month or two? My nails are twisting?

    My nails are raising up off my skin, they are inflamed under the nail and also they are yellow and brown. i think this is due to my psoriasis, but I need to get rid of the ugly nails asap! thanksIs there any treatment that can get rid of finger and toe nail fungus in a month or two? My nails are twisting?
    Getting rid of finger nail fungus is easier in some ways, and more difficult in others. Many people will act on a finger nail infection long before they will start asking how to get rid of toe nail fungus, simply because toes can be kept out of sight, but ugly fingernails are a daily embarrassment. People start getting rid of finger nail fungus before the infection is too far advanced. However, it's much harder to get a topical treatment to stay on a fingernail when you鈥檙e using your hands all the time, and it's much harder to sit for 15 to 30 minutes every day with your hands soaking in a solution.





    Pick any method for getting rid of finger nail fungus, or any advice on how to get rid of toe nail fungus. If you do any reading, you will quickly discover that all methods are fickle. VapoRub works for some and not for others. Stories of success with a vinegar soak abound; so do stories of failure. Some lucky people report success in weeks; some stress that you may have to keep at it for a year or more. Even the prescription medications have a relatively poor success rate. The bottom line is that curing nail fungus infection is difficult.





    for me and my husband worked very well ZetaClear! I think it is the fastest way to get rid of fungus! Nail fungus is tough to treat. The extracts in Zetaclear provide the most powerful therapeutic effect for healthy looking nails.





    Obviously, you can't spray herbicide on your feet or hands! The next best thing is Zetaclear. It's made from all-natural homeopathic ingredients. This product works time after time and results are guaranteed. This extra strength solution is designed to be as aggressive and strong as possible, without causing irritation.





    It worked fast and still works for me and my husband!





    I do not know if any pharmacies carry ZetaClear but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.zetaclear.com/?aid=221781

    My 3rd toe nail suddenly turned white and as I inspected it. It starting gushing a clear fluid.I removed it.RR

    I recently had the same problem with my big toe.It became infected and it had to be partialy amputated because the infection went into the bone. I have had these problems off and on since I was in New Orleans after Katrina. My work involved being in the muck left over on the ground and in flooded homes.My 3rd toe nail suddenly turned white and as I inspected it. It starting gushing a clear fluid.I removed it.RR
    Maybe some bacteria got under the nail and started to grow? Hope your other toes will be okay! There are some cleansing fluids to help reduce the fluids and infection.

    seems like you have a chronic infection, possibly systemic. you should have a doctor treat this and get rid of it altogether. you also need to work on your immune system and stop doing the things that weaken it - no smoking, etc, etc.
    I'm not sure what your question is. You really need to ask a doctor about this. Best of luck to you.

    I own a pitbull and he ripped his toe nail almost completely off what should i do?

    Take him to an ER vet!!!





    Was it his dew claw?I own a pitbull and he ripped his toe nail almost completely off what should i do?
    Stop the bleeding first. If you have corn starch, or flour, put that on his toe till the bleeding stops. It'll feel VERY sore, but you can't do a whole lot about it. If the nail is hanging by a thread, it's best to cut it off completely since it's not going to be able to be put back on.





    It's like us loosing a fingernail--it hurts like heck but it grows back. Give him some loving and let him know you know it hurts. Call the vet tomorrow morning and ask them, but really other than making sure nothing of the nail is still dangling and pulling on the toe, they can't do a whole lot about it. Usually the foot isn't bandaged, but left to air heal.I own a pitbull and he ripped his toe nail almost completely off what should i do?
    This happened to my dog! I actually brought him to the vet and the vet told me this happens all the time. He cut the nail off but he told me in the future to leave it alone and it will fall off on its own and the dog probably doesn't even notice it. I was surprised by that, but i guess cut it yourself, bring him to vet, or leave it.
    Pack flour into what is left of the nail to stop the bleeding and try your best to not allow him to lick/chew at the area. If this means you need to go out and purchase an Elizabethan Collar, go for it. You need to keep him away from the toe.





    He will need to be seen at the vet so they can trim off any parts of the nail that have the potential of splitting (because this can cause further injury) AND for antibiotics. The LAST thing you want is for the nail bed and toe to become infected, trust me.





    Don't be surprised if your veterinarian asks you to soak the foot in Epson Salts.





    I wish you the best of luck!
    You need to take him to the vet and have it taken off. You don't want him catching it on something and tearing it off. He may get it infected then you will have bigger problems and he is probably in some pain. This happened to my German Shep and the Vet just took it off and stopped the bleeding gave her an antibiotic shot and she was fine in about a week. Good luck
    You've got to bring him to a vet.Since you can't get to a vet today ,bathe the foot in warm soapy water,flush with peroxide ,dry with a clean towel,and apply some ointment like Neosporin or Triple antibiotic ointment .Ask at a pharmacy if you don't have it.
    My dog's never done that. Is he wimpering bleeding or screaming then take him to the vet. If not it's probably normal and he just wanted your attention so he ripped it off to get alot of it. But seriously take him to see the vet to make sure he is ok.
    If it is bleeding put some Cayenne on the end (it won't hurt i have done it on myself) it is a new natural remedy. after you do that, gently file the end so it doesn't catch on anything and get worse. The nail will grow back.
    Depending on how badly it's bleeding, you should take him to the vet. If it just fell off on its own, it should be fine and grow back itself.
    If there is blood mix flour and water into a paste and apply it to the nail. It will harden and stop the bleeding
    Any bad reactions. I reccomend if you think its bothering you and the dog to much. Take him to the vet.
    Take him to the vet. It could get infected and he'll probably need an antibiotic.
    Is it bleeding? Is he in pain? If so, i would take him to a vet!
    Ya if i got shot in the face wat do i do??? duh take him to the vet
    id do wat she said cause it might also get infected
    Bring Him to the vet this maybe serious
    take him to the vet NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    umm... take him to the vet? haha.
