You may have developed nail fungus; it won’t hurt you, but it can look ugly. Be very careful not to use any antifungal medication until you discuss it with your treatment doctor; some of it can be very bad for your liver—

are you drinking enough water?  
mine were stained when i used np at the beginning of treatment, then i just stopped using np and the yellow faded as new nails grew.
also, you might want to get a cbc (complete blood count) blood work

Yea, but I am an old runner and we get it from that.  You might try tee tree oil.
