Toe nail buildup, pain, deformed, and brown line

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here.

I have this issue surrounding my toenail, underneath the nail there is a hard white substance that looks kinda dustyish, I can’t really describe the look that much more. It looks like the buildup of something. Anyways, the nail is also lifted a lot higher than any of my other nails, it’s shaped kind of like a cave with all the buildup under it. Whenever I touch it I get pain and it’s also deformed in size and it’s moving to the left. Another thing is that there is this brown line going right through the middle of the nail, it’s not microscopically small, it’s actually very visible from almost any distance.

Please help, I don’t know what this is and I’m afraid!

Hm.  This sounds like fungus.  good times.  Talk to your parents about it.  They do sell over the counter things to treat it but a doctor should have a look.  good luck
