Hello,

It could be a nail infection. Avoid tight and occlusive shoes. Use Fusidic acid cream twice daily for a week. Consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pavithra Gundappa, Dermatologist
