Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. it's unlikely for calcium to cause this problem. in most cases it is caused by fungal infection. I would suggest you yo visit hospital and get an appointment for a dermatologist. who will examine toe nail and may take scraping from beneath nail for examination. if confirmed fungal infection then he will prescribe antifungals which in most cases resolves problem completely. other treatment option is surgical abu XXXXXXX of nail under local anaesthesia. meanwhile keep your feet dry and wear open shoes.

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 !!
