Yes: You're in philadelphia. There is a podiatry school and a bazillion podiatrists. Go. If needed, have the nail removed and take a course of lamasil (terbinafine).

Keep in mind...: The fda has recently come out with a blanket statement that toenail fungus can not be cured. It is "managed" by a number of modalities, but it can always come back in the future.

Yes, usually: Toe nail fungus can be treated with oral or topical medication. Oral medications are usually more effective. See a podiatrist or other specialist to make sure it is a fungus and discuss treatment options.

See a dermatologist: First determine the type of abnormality. Fungus is not the only cause of this.
