It's just 4 little stripes almost going across my nails. it's just white and it looks like a scratch.Nail Fungus?
if u had nail fungus the toe nail would be yellowing and would come off, it may also be slighty raised where the fungus is growing. It sounds to me like a discoloration of your nail or a lack of calcium in your diet but if you are concerned see your gp.Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus, is a condition that affects the nail of around 6% to 8% of the adult population. A change in color, thickening of the nail, becoming brittle, or rippled nail may be a sign of nail fungus.

Report Abuse
Toe nail fungus will ruin your nails and it spreads to healthy nails.
It will thicken them so that they are hard to cut and they can become yellow and flaky. The fungus gets under the nail and lives in the bed destroying the nail and entering your blood.
You should ask a foot doctor but it sounds to me like your nails have been abused. Give them a break. Nail houses can be rough on nails as they make money on turn over. The more people they get in and out the more money they make. If there instruments are 100% cleam you can get germs. If they are messing with your cuticles too much you can get lines and cracks in nails. This can happen from too much cutting and filing too. Give your nails a break. Dont do anything to them for awhile. If this bothers you wear shoes with socks.
You need to give your toe nails AIR and keep the polish off occasionally. Nail polish contains chemicals that if used often can enter your nail beds. Your nails need to breathe to by healthy.
Also to prevent fungus you can use tea tree oil on them once a week or even once a month. Rub it on before bed. Fungus does not like tea tree oil. Make sure you get pure oil.
Also swimmers never have nail fungus because the cholorine in the water kills germs that cause fungus.
try using LAMASIL sream and clean off the toe polish until it cures ok
