Humira & Fungal Nail Infection

[Grant]

Hi All, in the last two weeks I've noticed I have two toes with fungal nail infection. Looking @ my Humira Pack it states that fungal infections can be a bit serious. But on your toes??
Anyone else had experience of this whilst on Humira I'd be glad to hear your experiences.
Tks

Grant,

I am not on Humira, but I am on Remicade and the warnings state the same thing. I am not currently having a problem with toenail fungus, but have in the past when I asked my GI nurse about it she said that, that type of fungal infection would not be an issue. But I would bring it up to your doctor or nurse just to make sure.

Hi DDEE, I'm currently trying EXCILOR. The reviews of it in places like Amazon seem very hit n miss. I would like to try & get rid of it so worth a try. There are tablets the GP can prescribe but they don't recommend them for me as they can upset stomachs etc. Last thing I need.
Strangely reading the instructions of EXCILOR it doesn't say anything about filing the surface of the nail but I've done it anyway.
Tks for asking
