Its gross, on my big toe. Its gone a funny colour and sort of thick and theres all black stuff underneath.
Do I need to see the dr or the chiropodist? Can i still go swimming this week?

(antifungals usually cheaper on prescription - cost a fortune OTC)

fungal infection - this is quite common

someone on another thread used teatree oil. be warned it takes months to work cos the infected bit has to grow out and you can't apply nailpolish.

i go some stuff from the doctor which appears to be working.
