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.

What is the most effective treatment for a pseudomonas infection that is resistant to multiple antibiotics?
In cases of a pseudomonas infection that is resistant to multiple antibiotics, the most effective treatment may involve using a combination of antibiotics that the bacteria are still susceptible to. This approach, known as combination therapy, can help increase the chances of successfully treating the infection. Additionally, other treatment options such as antimicrobial peptides or phage therapy may also be considered in consultation with a healthcare provider.
