Yellow And White Around Corners Of Fingernails, Bump On Nails, White Layers Under, Splitting On Side. Cause?
Hello, on the corners of my fingernails they seem to be infected! They are yellow and white on 3 fingers. On these fingernails there is a bump where its yellow. I can look under the fingernail and see white layers like, my thumb nail is splitting on the side. I ve been covering it up with nail polish... Probably not the best thing... Also, on my toenails they are yellow to but seem soft. I keep meaning to ask my Dermatologist whats going on, but keep forgetting!

Yellow And White Around Corners Of Fingernails, Bump On Nails, White Layers Under, Splitting On Side. Cause?
Hi, It seems that you may be having onychomycosis. It is fungal infection of nails. However,diagnosis should be confirmed by KOH scrapping for fungus. After confirmation, antifungal tablets like ketoconazole may be taken. Antifungal lotion like clotrimazole lotion may be applied. You may be recovered after long treatment , about 6 months. Do all this after consulting dermatologist. I hope you got my answer. Thanks. Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
