What is wrong with my manky toenail? Warning! Photos!

It's very grim, and very sore.

The left hand part is spongy and basically crumbles away.

It's definitely not fungal because it's been tested.

Who should I seek advice from and what may be the treatment? Thanks!

I would see a podiatrist.

I might get shouted down but Vicks vapour rub really does work. I'm dealing with the same problem now. Had really bad episode that couldn't be treated when I was pregnant 11 years ago but i persevered and my toenail grew back perfect. Silly me had nail polish on my toenails for six straight months and I'm back at square one Blush.

See a foot healthcare practitioner

Tea tree oil works on my dad's toenails and they are like this. He was told this by a nurse!
I would go and get it seen to though
