Hi
Development of discolouration over the nail can occur due to various reasons.
Fungal infections of the nail is the most important cause although other autoimmune cause can also cause such a presentation.
Since you are also developing a nail deformity,it is important that you see a nearby doctor for proper assessment and treatment.
