My doctor is treating me for fungal fingers and says it takes a long time but it has been 8 months or so and no improvement, actually worse. Fingernails are growong into the finger and thick and painful What do you think. Email is YYYY@YYYY and thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic Choilynokia due to chronic fungal infection.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Proper scrapping of the part with proper dressing is needed.
Ok and take care.
