What Causes Green Nail Discolouration While Having Sjogren's Syndrome?

I was just diagnosed with Sjogren's Disease. I will be having a lip biopsy on Friday to confirm, but the doctor has already put me on medication. I have gel polish on my natural nails & recently had a green fungus on 2 of my nails. I have never had this with 5 yrs of gel polish. Now one of my nails is lifting from the nail bed on one of my nails. Could this be caused my Sjogren's? I have never had a nail lift like this. Thank You

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the fungal infection then it is likely that it would affects the nail bed and the lifting of nail bed is not because of Sjogren's disease, still the clinical diagnosis would be the last judge as long as the differentiation is concern, but it is not due to Sjorgren's disease hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
