It sounds as if you are getting nail fungus.
My husband got it and then I got it "What an icky pain".
Make sure to bleach the floor of your shower frequently. It is contagious to anyone that uses the shower.
This is a home remedy but you can use Listerine on your nails and toes to help discourage it.
You can also soak your feet in apple cider vinegar.
These are home remedies that are supposed to be helpful.
Go to your pharmacist or doctor and get some antifumgal cream. They will recommend one.
once you have the start of nail fungus you will need to go to the doctor and get a prescription. you can buy over the counter things, but it won't go beneath the nail bed and that's where the fungus is thriving. call your doctor and make an appointment. nail fungus is hard to get rid of so be prepared!

There are topical ointments that can be purchased over the counter at most drug stores/pharmacies. The best approach is to ask the pharmacist.
Nail fungus is tenacious and takes months to clear. You should consider asking your physician to look at it, as there are prescriptive treatments available.
You might also want to try the holistic treatments. I've heard that the oils of various plants and herbs have been touted as being effective on nail fungus, but I have no personal knowledge of this. You can Google 'nail fungus' and see what all is out there.
go see your doctor, or ask the pharmacist. probably something like daktarin which is antifungal may help.
