VINEGAR
Yep, just soak your fingers for 20 minutes each day in a mixture of vinegar and water. She didn't know the exact ratio of vinegar to water, so I just dolloped some vinegar into a cup of water and soaked.
I was amazed at how fast I could tell this was helping and soon the nails were beginning to clear up. And, as a bonus, my very soft nails are now much stronger.
Don't be afraid to give this a try...the NP assured me that it couldn't hurt, even if there was no yeast infection.
Hope this helps someone out there!!
Great tip. I have a vitamin issue a lack of and mine has always done this as well as the skin under my nails peels bacl. Years ago an old doctor I went to when I was a child had my mom start soaking mine in olive oil. Heated up to a warm temp. Lay hands in and soak. Oh it works wonders and leaves your hands so soft, also a great rememdy for dry hands.

How unique ! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I know I don't have a yeast infection,but there are other causes for splitting/peeling nails. Will be trying this.

I have never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteI had an infection in my big toe and couldn't get rid of it. Then one Sunday I painted my toenails and the infection went away. I figured it was the alcohol in it. My husband also has trouble with peeling fingernails and I coat his nails with a layer of clear fingernail polish and it clears it up too.
