Tips
- Very rarely is a green discoloration an indication of fungus.
- The good news is that this bacteria is easier to treat than the average case of nail fungus.
- The bacteria feeds on moisture, so keeping the nail dry helps get rid of the bacteria.
- Bruises on the nail bed may look greenish in color, though usually you will notice red or black areas which are from injury.
- Nail fungus symptoms include whitish or yellowish discoloration, thickening of the nails and eventually, crumbling of the nails. Fungal nails might even cause pain in the later stages if left untreated. To treat a case of nail fungus, talk to a doctor or podiatrist.
