Brief Answer:
Most probably Fungal Infection of toe

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for the answers. I have gone through them.You most probably are suffering from Fungal infection of toes. I would suggest you to once get an appointment for a dermatologist because antifungals are prescription medicines. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

> Medical :
- topical antifungals if condition is less severe.
- in case it is severe and topical therapy already taken then terbinafine (you need a prescription for this) one daily for 2-3 weeks (depending upon severity)

> General Care:
It is VERY important in fungal infections because if proper care is not taken then it does not heal completely and instead reappears for longer time and even spreads to adjacent areas. You need to take care of following things:

- Wear loose shoes
- keep feet as clean as face
- dry feet immediately after shower/water comes in-contact with them
- do not let feet remain in sweat for longer time.
- wash hands thoroughly after touching feet.
- wash your socks/clothes separately & thoroughly.
- if possible discard old shoes because they usually harbor fungi.
- Don't trim or pick at the skin around your nails.
- Don't go barefoot in public places.

Healing of fungal infection is a slow process. If you will take care then it will heal quickly, else it may take even 6 months or more.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
