Got to question the greenish discoloration and is that gauze under the toe nail as well. Possible bacterial vs fungal infection either way without seeing it up close and personal its impossible to tell. I would just soak in Epsom salts and warm water or vinegar and warm water 25% vinegar for 15 minutes couple of times a day for a few days as long as your not diabetic or have neuropathy(lack of sensation). If that does not help i would see a Podiatrist. Doesn't appear to be an urgent thing without pain or drainage. Good luck
I agree with the podiatrist below. Also make sure you wear cotton socks (least 70%) since you say there is no ventilation in the sneaker. Cotton breathes, but other socks keep the moisture in. Be sure to lay off the soda because if it is an infection, sugar lowers your immune system.
Green usually means bacteria, but could be fungal. Have the Podiatrist or Dermatologist check for bacteria or fungus with a scraping and/or culture and treat appropriately. Old fashioned Whitfields ointment could be the ticket here.
You have A fungus in your toenail. There are three ways to treat a fungus in the toenail. The first way is a topical cream. The second way is an oral antifungal medication. And the last way is to use laser to eradicate the fungus. The first thing that you should try is a topical antifungal medication. It could take 6 to 9 months to see total results.
Not the clearest picture but it may be a fungus. If it remains persistently discolor end then go see a podiatrist and get it analyzed to determine if it is a fungus, bacteria or combination thereof. You can always try applying some Vicks Vapor Rub nightly and see if that helps. Keep clean, dry socks as well to reduce moisture.
