Does a fungal nail infection hurt?
Sounds like you do have a fungal nail infection. Its called tinea unguium and causes the nail to become thickened, crumbly and to change colour. You can get a treatment from your chemist called Loceryl nail lacquer, which you paint on the nail to kill the fungus. However, it can take months to work. You can also visit your GP and be prescribed Lamasil tablets, which work more quickly.
