Nail problem

2018-09-03 19:09:52
Half of my fingernail suddenly turned a very slight yellow and started to detach from the skin underneath. It is not painful and now that I have cut the nail off the skin under isn’t painful either which surely it should be.

Hello. This is most likely to be a fungal infection. Please consult a dermatologist or a family physician for a course of oral antifungals. Take care
