Broken Nail, Infected. Need A Good Doctor
hello, i have a problem with my nail. it broke at the top of my nail (beside cuticles) about 2 weeks ago and I think its infected now. I don't know who takes care of nail (is it dermatologist, GP doctor etc) and where should I go with it. I think my GP can give me a referral letter to dermatologist but it will be very expensive

Hi, it seems that you are having onychomycosis.. Fungal infection of nail. Antifungal tablet and application of antfungal lotion for long period will cure the disease. Only the dermatologist will take care for your nail disease. .. Ok
