I have the same problem. As a hobby, I do gel manicures for my girlfriends and their friends, and for myself, of course. Each girl has her own file, I use a steriliser, and I work with gloves. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of May, I felt some discomfort in my nails, a slight burning sensation when pressing on the nail plate. During a correction, I noticed that the free edge wasn't even, but it didn't raise any suspicions. I applied gel polish again. A couple of days later, I noticed that if I twisted the nail, it seemed to be detaching. I urgently removed the gel polish and was horrified. ALL 10 NAILS HAD DETACHED HALFWAY!!! And what did I do? Almost like all of you, I started googling. FUNGUS! FUNGUS! FUNGUS! I cried all night, tormented by thoughts of who I might have caught it from, and what if I had infected someone, since I take on a girl for a manicure every day after my main job. The next day, I went to the pharmacy, bought Terbinafine, Exoderil drops, some ointment, applied iodine at night, and did soda baths. I went crazy; I work in an office, my hands are always visible, and now I have no nails... In the end, after a week, my husband told me to stop self-medicating and booked me an appointment with a dermatologist. I went to the appointment, told everything as described here, and the doctor started yelling at me for taking such strong pills without a prescription and sent me for a test. AND IT SHOWED NOTHING!!! The dermatologist prescribed me to take 2 capsules a day of Special Merz Dragee and THAT'S IT! I only took these vitamins, didn't do anything else, and in 2 weeks, almost everything had cleared up. It's been a month now; I finished the vitamins 10 days ago, and my nails are in excellent condition. It's a shame I can't post BEFORE and AFTER photos here (I have them). In short, my advice to everyone is GO TO THE DOCTOR.
