[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 351664, member: 1991"] FUngal infection doesn't necessarily look white or a different colour. It can look a different shape or grow slightly crooked. If your nail looks otherwise exactly like the others, it might be OK. But the split will look different. A nail that looks white is a nail that is partly delaminated and has air or moisture in the layers. It's not necessarily fungal. Think about it - if you use a metal nail file to clean under your nails, and scrape the underside of the nail with the file, it will make the nail there look whiter. It's because you have roughened the underside of the nail and changed the way light shines through it. Can you think of a reason for the split in your nail? Did you injure it at some time? I slammed a thumb in the car door and when that part of my nail grew out, there was a very thick patch and behind it a very thin patch which began to split and separate. I used the fibreglass patch to hold it together until it grew out enough to trim and shape. Marg [/QUOTE]
