Hi.
As per your case history of bruised nail, my treatment advice is -
1. You are probably having a nail fungal infection called as onychomycosis.
2. Apply an antifungal lotion like clotrimazole lotion twice daily on affected nails.
3. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
