You seem to be suffering from onychomycosis and Tinea corporis. Kindly get your skin scrapigs and nail clippings examined for fungal presence and then take appropriate treatment in the form of griseofulvin or itraconazole in the doses presribed by your doctor. also apply topical antifungals while taking care to avoid frequent immersion in water of the affected nails
