Discolouration of foot nails after bleach treatment

    I had been suffering from toe nail fungus - probably contracted in a swimming pool to my otherwise healthy feet - for quite a while, so was getting kind of desperate. Somewhere I found the tip to try dipping the toes into bleach. At first I was sceptical, but then I remembered that I had made the experience that after swimming in the pool, the symptoms improved (for some time).

    So the common denominator seemed to be chlorine, and I gave bleach a try, during several days. It actually seemed to work, but now the nails of my big toes are kind of pink-purple. Also the other ones had such a tint, but there it disappeared. It's been like that for several days now. If there is a change noticeable, I would say it's rather getting 'worse'.

    Will this heal (grow out) by itself?
