Fungal/bacterial infection under nails

2020-07-16 08:29:11
Started having pain under nails and noticed area under nails are turning red, fragile and skin is becoming dry after I cut the extra nail on top. The infected finger has less fixed nail than others. It first started on fingers and now on toes too. I am interested in understanding the condition, cause and remedy. Please share your expertise Thanks in advance 🌻
