A member asked:
1). my toe finger nail has partially dead and it is not growing good..., what does this symptom means...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably a fungus: Fungus spores are in the air and can get into the nail due to trauma. The nail grows thicker, discolored and may have an odor. There are over the counter remedies, If these don't work, see a podiatrist for Rx medication.
