What Can Be Done To Fix Crack Between Toenail And Cuticle With Discolored Nail?
Decided to do my own pedicure. When I finally was able to remove the nail polish and top coat, I discovered that my toe nail had separated from the cuticle, sort of like a crack. The nail around it is discolored, sort of whitish. What is this affliction and what can I do about it? Thanks so much.

if it is positive for fungus then start anti fungal treatment .
