A member asked:
Unsure if i have a fungal infection or if it is only irritation. the base around my toenail has been swollen for about a month now from a shoe that was too tight. the cuticle is not visible and the tip of my toenail is a faint yellow tint. ?

Podiatrist: Consult a podiatrist for diagnosis,treatment and follow-up. Yellow discoloration of the toenail does suggest a fungal infection, but the swelling may indicate a paronychia which is a bacterial infection.
