Sounds like fungus: 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. See a podiatrist for a treatment that is best for you.

Toenails: Without a physical exam , it sounds like fungus in your nail. Seek the help of a podiatrist who will diagnose the problem and recommend a solution. Best of luck !
