A bacterial infection called pseudomonas can make your nails turn green. The bacteria that causes this infection love water and wet soil, and if given the chance, they will establish a residency underneath your nails. That’s why it’s recommended to frequently wash your hands and feet, keep your nails trim, and protect your hands and feet against moisture. If you develop this infection, you can start combating it by soaking your nails in vinegar. The vinegar may help kill the bacteria, but if not, your doctor can confirm the diagnosis and prescribe you an antibiotic.
