i thought it would be eas to cure a finger nail fungus, but about 90 percent of the products are uneffective for finger nails, only toe nails.
anyway, i had tips over my nails and didnt get Them filled for a long time. my hands are constantly in water from My job, And i realized on day that they were start i hurt a little around the edges. when i got them removed i noticed a yellowish green spot, But the nail technician said nothing and proceeded to Give me a manicure.
then i saw this spot appear on other nails, mainly on the dominant hand. also the skin around one of my fingers is starting to crack.
it looks gross. ive been soaking in vinegar 2x a day for 10 min and removing the debris, but i dont know if i need something else.

Sounds like a nail fungus. I had this before as well. The person giving you the manicure probably told you it was "nothing" to just keep your business. Usually, the fungus will grow out with time. If you do not see improvement with new nail growth, get Lamosil over the counter and apply it to your nail(s) 3 times a day. The skin cracking could be the drying of the acetone in the nail remover or it could be that you are loosing the natural oils in your skin due to your hands being in water so much. No biggie. Soaking in vinegar probably will not help. Lotions are watered down, and oils are greasy. Go out and get a pair of THIN fabric gloves (not winter gloves to keep your hands warm!) VERY thin fabric gloves and vaseline. Put vaseline on your finger(s) then cover them with the breathable gloves. SLeep in the gloves over night. It should help.
A green discoloration is NOT fungal, it is bacterial and you probably acquired it because of either improper preparation at the salon, or from water getting trapped between the nail plate and the overlay under any areas of product separation. Have you had the nails removed? If so, leaving it open to the air will help to dry out the excess moisture that the bacteria need to grow. Rather than applying any kind of oil, antibacterial ointment, vinegar or fungal treatment, apply a small amount of alcohol to each effected nail at least twice daily to keep them dry. Do this for a week and it will kill the bacterial infection. The stain, which is composed mainly of iron compounds, will remain, but will grow out with the nail plate.
As for the cuticles, the infection is more than likely under the skin as well. In this case, you will need to see your dermatologist for a prescription. Having your hands 'wet' for extended periods allows for a Parpnychia (bacterial or fungal) infection to get under the cuticles and the result is swollen, cracked, itchy skin.

the cuticles arent affected, But rather the skin around the nail closer to my fingertip
i know it's prob not the best Thing, but ive been keeping polish on them b/c im embarrassed how they look.
