Subungual melanoma often starts as a brown or black streak under a toenail or fingernail.
Brown spot under acrylic nail. After 2 weeks the infection should be dead and you should be able to reapply but the stain will still be there. Get rid of infesting fungus using home remedies such as tea tree oil baking soda solution apple cider vinegar or mouthwash. I have had acrylic nails on for about 5 years.
I recently chewed them all off myself because i hate to pay 25 to have them professionally taken off. The decolorization is usually in a stripe that starts at the bottom of your nail bed and continues to the top. Acrylic nail fungus usually occurs when acrylic nails are inadequately fitted.
This type of infection can also happen if you reglue the artificial nail before you clean the gap. There are times however when conditions are perfect and happy bacteria make a home either on top of the nail bed and under the natural nail or on top of the natural nail and under an enhancement. Okay i know this if an OFF subject but i am a tad bit concerned.

Medically this is known as subungual hematoma. When the nail is detached from the nail bed the waterproof seal formed by the skin on the nail is lost.

Soak your nails in this solution for 10 minutes twice daily. Deficiency of nutrients like vitamins proteins and folic acid may also affect the nails and cause brown spots. But I am here to talk about the latest addition to this very unpleasant condition the Acrylic Nail Fungus.
