What is happening to his nails?

My 17 month old son has a toe nail (big toe) and a finger nail that is split vertically and lifting the nail now, with color changing underneath. It does not hurt him, but the finger nail one has partially come off. The doctor says it is okay, but now it seems worse. What could this be? Onychomycosis, fungal paranychia, splinter haemorkages? Please help.What is happening to his nails?
I don麓t know what it is but is not okay. I suggest you to go with a dermatologist He/ she will give you an answer and a treatment, of course.What is happening to his nails?
It is most likely fungal and you can get stuff to help in your health and beauty dept but since it is an infant and your doctor was not very helpful I would see another doctor or specialist.


Most over the counter stuff recommends the child to be over the age of 2
He needs to go to a specialist! Just because one doctor says it's ';okay'; is far from meaning that it is-
if the doc says its ok its ok, stop being so damn paranoid
