Elevated Nail

Question

Elevated Nail

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I have an elevated nail that looks to have some fungus that grows on it. There is a larger dent in the middle where one side is lifted and the other is not. I have had dry skin around the nail but it seems to hurt a lot because the nail bed is so thin. I file away the elevated parts to try and make it look more normal.
