Fungal infection in the nails, otherwise called onychomycosis, is a frequently seen issue. Side effects include irritation, swelling, yellowing, thickening or itching of the nail. It is normally not painful, unless the infection spreads further.

The fungal infection has a tendency to occur under specific conditions, like unusual pH levels of the skin, a weak immune system, nonstop introduction to a damp surrounding including sweat-soaked shoes and socks, poor cleanliness and diabetes.more

A narrow black line that has formed vertically underneath your nail is called a splinter hemorrhage. It occurs for a variety of reasons and may be harmless or a sign of a more serious health condition.
Thicker lines that create a horizontal stripe on the nail are not harmful, but they may be a symptom of a cancer.
You may need a complete examination if believe it is unusual, you may connect with me over the portal for further consultation.

Don't worry if you need to remove your nail paint and the nail polish remover is not available. Use perfumes, hair spray, body spray, and spray deodorant to remove the nail polish easily as they contain certain solvents which help in the process.
