Does the portion where the white discoloration is look like the smile line has changed into a frown line? In other words, is it U shaped, and if so, is the nail plate detached from the nail bed? If so, you may have a yeast infection, which is much easier to treat than a fungus infection that is characterized by a yellow discoloration with apparent debris in the area of separation.
If it is yeast (candida) then you will need a prescription for Naftin from your doctor.
