Nail fungus and infection

2019-06-14 17:46:40
I have toe nail fungus / infection since while. I tried salicylic sf 12 and propysalic nf ointment. But no improvement. Since this morning I am seeing the toe as in picture with pain. I think removing nail is only remedy. I am from Bangalore.. please suggest if any alternative. And am I need to consult general surgeon or dermatologist?
