I'm noticing that my left index fingernail is turning kind of yellowish or orangish. Is this something I should be worried about? I do smoke weed and cigarettes a lot, and I usually drink alcohol on weekends. Could these habits be causing it?

Yellowish or orangish discoloration of the nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or staining from smoking. It is important to address the underlying cause. You can try using an antifungal nail lacquer like Ciclopirox (8% solution) or Amorolfine (5% solution) daily for several months to treat a fungal infection. Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption can also help improve the health of your nails.
