Answers:
I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on the web. But, I do not believe you can grow mold on your hands, but fungus. And perhaps you have a fungus. I just don't know for sure. But there are over the counter anti fungal nail remedies sold at CVS or Walgreens or even Walmart. Health Question & Answer

yes, mold is a fungus, and you can get a fungal infection under/around your fingernails.
just spray some athlete's foot spray on your fingernails, and if this doesn't work, go see your doctor or dermatologist. athlete's foot is caused by a fungus, so the spray for athlete's foot is an antifungal, and so it will hopefully work for your fingernails too.Health Question & Answer
