Could the black, dry, itchy skin and cracked, dull nails on my right thumb and left big toe be a persistent fungal infection or a reaction to my medications, given that I am 76 years old with controlled diabetes (HbA1c of 7% on Mixtard 50 insulin) and high blood pressure (145/90 on Telma 80, Cardivas 12.5, and Asomex 5mg), and have seen no improvement two months after completing a treatment of Terbinaforce 500 tablets and Terbinaforce Plus cream?

Because the terbinafine (Terbinaforce) treatment did not clear the symptoms, this may not be a simple fungal infection. In patients with diabetes and high blood pressure, dark skin and nail changes can sometimes be linked to circulation issues, localized skin reactions, or a resistant fungal strain. I reassure you that this can be managed, but it is very important to have a doctor or podiatrist physically examine your thumb and toe to check your blood flow and provide an accurate diagnosis. Please schedule a visit soon so they can safely guide your next steps.
