I've noticed the skin around my fingernails has turned black and there's also some darkness on my thumbnails. I'm really worried about it and I'm not sure how to make them lighter. What do you suggest I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The skin around your nails and the black discoloration on your thumb nails could be due to a fungal infection or trauma. I recommend using an antifungal cream for the skin around your nails and applying a topical antifungal solution on your thumb nails. Keep your hands clean and dry, and avoid any further trauma to the nails. If the condition persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've tried some remedies and theyve shrunk a bit, but I'm worried. What could these white patches be and should I be doing something different to get rid of them completely?
