I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Green nail syndrome is caused by bacteria called pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium flourishes in wet environments, such as jacuzzis, contact lens solution, sinks, and bath sponges. When it grows, it produces hallmark green pigments called pyocyanin and pyoverdin. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
