Fungus infection : From your description it sounds as though you have a fungus infection of the nail. You are fairly young to have such a condition. If your feet perspire then you’re predisposed to getting this condition. You can try a topical antifungal, in my opinion Lamiail is the best OTC . Oral anti fungal meds help as well . Careful side affects . Spraying your feet with an anti-perspirant . Difficult problem
