Hi. I had a pseudomonas infection on 3 of my fingers for 18 months. It was horrible. I got it from a manicure at a nail salon in Upper Marlboro off of John Rogers Blvd. I went to several doctors and had several different prescriptions I finally found a cure in the 19th month when I started a nightly regime of putting pure bleach on a q-tip and applying it the affected area for thirty seconds. I let the bleach remain on my fingers overnight I also did the same thing in the morning before leaving the house. The key to healing is keeping the infected areas dry. I am very picky about cleaning my hands. So when I wash my hands during the day, I wash the unaffected fingers normally. I wash the affected fingers (just two fingers have the infection now) very carefully by avoiding getting any water on the two nails that are still infected. Then I use hand sanitizer to make sure I have disinfected my hands. That way, the bleach stays on the infected areas all day and no water gets under the nails. I am not a medical doctor, but I think the infection continued to worsen for the first 18 months because water would get trapped under the nail and feed the infection. Once I started killing as much as the bacteria as possible with the bleach and also keeping my nails dry during the day, the infection started to heal. I am in my 20th month of having the infection and am happy that it has really started to clear up. I think it will be gone in a few months.
