Is this a fungal infection?

2025-05-05 00:47:18
Hi, I have been dealing with this for more than 5 months. It started as ingrown nail which was very painful and i tried to lift the nail with small thread etc and was successful sometimes then when that stopped my nail started to turn black but it doesnt pain at all. I have also noticed the nail bed had dried out, and is crumbling when i cut the nail. What is the right treatment for this?
