I'm really scared

Hi all,

 

I'm feeling very scared right now. I had a nail infection of my right index finger, and it had a faint dark vertical line going through it at the time. Doctor told me it was a fungal infection, so I took so Amorolfine (nail lacquer) to treat it for 6 months. After a while whilst still taking medication, the nail looked a lot worse, and it's appearance is ugly. I now have to see a dermatologist for a biopsy and I feel so scared that it could be something more sinister. The lacquer definately made it look worse.

  • Welcome to the community Raxj although I'm sorry to read what's troubling you.

    It's always a tad unnerving when you're referred but the positive is you'll being seeing a specialist in this field who will be in a better position of letting you know if it's any cause for concern. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their support and advice to you soon but fingers crossed everything will turn out to be o.k.

    All the best,
