Detached, malformed, discolored toenail
More than a year ago I had swelling, pain and foul smell in both of my big toe nails due to fungal infections. Got relief when I use hydrogen peroxide and a lotion('clotry') but it was recurring. When the pain became strong I trimmed one side of left big toe nail deeply and as a result the regrowing part is detached, malformed and discolored. It often gets broken before growing fully. Now right side one is also getting discoloured. Is there permanen tcure. If surgery required, Approx. cost?
