White spot on nail

Asked for Male, 10 years

My 5yr old son was having a white spot on his small fingernail a few weeks ago. Now it has turned green and flaky. Please can I know any remedy or is it concerning? Only once I applied fucidin topical ointments.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Kindly show a dermatologist as soon as possible. In my experience this is a fungal infection which may spread or cause Nail to fall off. It's best to start a dermatologist instructed treatment for this.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Rawalpindi and seek in-person advice.
