    You can take picture of the nail and upload it by replying to your own post.

    If you are using a mobile device then you have to tick 'Request desktop site' in your browser settings.

    Small icons will appear in the top right above the text input field. One of them is for uploading photos.

    I have left you a private message on how to treat a nail fungus infection topically.
