Good morning, today I applied Acifungin to the nail and then washed my hands 5 times and took the Vibin contraceptive pill. Could there be traces of Acifungin on the hand?

To @Ola: There is no indication that contraception will be disturbed. I have already written to you that it does not seem possible to me that after washing your hands five times, the remnants of the medicine remain on your hands. As I have also written, no one studies the interaction of drugs for external use with contraception, because these drugs are not intended for consumption. So I have no information on this subject that I can give you. In my opinion, however, your concerns are excessive. Considering whether any microscopic amounts of Acifungin could hypothetically have stayed on the hands and hypothetically had any effect on the pill is unjustified.
So the effectiveness is preserved? Is it really possible that after washing your hands 5 times the remnant of liquid was on your fingers?

Acifungin is a drug for external use, so there is no information about interactions with oral drugs.
And if there is something left, it can affect the effectiveness of the tablets?

This does not seem possible.
