Hi,
Probably your husband has got onychomycosis with pseudomonas infection of nail. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. After thorough examination and investigation like KOH test for fungus. .. He might give antifungal like itroconazole or ketoconazole along with antibiotics. Local application of clotrimazole solution may be done. After few months to a year, he might get benefit. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
