Foot nail injury
Hello!
My foot thumb nail has started getting white recently. I thought its just deficiency if calcium but seems the nail has got infected. It has turned white from inside too and is very dried up. I tried to file it to check if there is any puss beneath it but there is nothing. How can cure my nail? Please refer the photos attached.
