Is this a nail fungus? How do I treat it?

I have a 2 cm wide piece of hard tissue growing under my thumbnail. It shows as a red line across the nail's surface straight up through the middle. When the nail grows too long it splits at the tip. When I cut the nail short it actually hurts where the tissue is closest to my skin. I can't find anything like it online.Is this a nail fungus? How do I treat it?
Yeah the appearance that you write seems to be nail fungus.


First of all try some preventive measures and keep in mind that fungus is contagious for others also.


Avoid plastic shoes and materials that have been treated to keep water out. They trap perspiration and create a warm, moist place for fungus to grow.


When you鈥檙e home take your socks off and expose your feet to the air.


Clean your toenails. Toenails are breeding spots for the athlete's foot fungus.


Avoid socks made of synthetic materials, because they can retain moisture against the skin. Cotton and wool socks allow moisture to be drawn away from the feet.


Throw away worn-out exercise shoes. Never borrow other people鈥檚 shoes.


Apply a little cornstarch to your shoes before and after wearing them. Cornstarch is more absorbent than talc and contains fewer impurities.


Clean your feet thoroughly at least twice a day. Fungi are parasites that survive by ';eating'; the outside layer of your dead skin. Soap and water help to remove this layer. Be sure to thoroughly dry your feet afterward, paying particular attention to the web spaces in between your toes.

It does sound like a fungus. But you can use a natural product called Fungus No More. It is an FDA approved product. Fungus does not ';live'; in finger or toenails since these nails are made up of dead cells. It鈥檚 the fungus in the surrounding live tissue that causes the nails to grow thick, yellow, and brittle. Fungus No More does not penetrate the finger or toenail itself. Rather, it effectively kills the fungal infection in the surrounding tissues, allowing the new nail growth to be healthy and clean in appearance.

It sounds like it can be nail fungus. If you verify that it is in fact fungus, I recommend Claripro. I found a link online where they're offering a free supply. I would take advantage of the free supply and see if it works for you. Make sure you apply the product regularly. Good luck!
It's probably a fungus. Why don't you go to a doctor to find out for sure. Fungus is easily treated.
