Hi,
How are you? Onychomycosis or fungal infection of the nail is usually difficult to treat because the infection is embedded within the nail. It is difficult to reach and the infection may also recur. It is important that you wash your hands after touching an infected nail because nail fungus can spread from nail to nail.  Have this evaluated further for proper management. Direct clinical examination is important in determining the diagnosis.  Take care and do keep us posted.
