Damage after gel removal

Wore builder gel for about 10 months with fills every ~4 weeks. About 1 month ago, I noticed the yuckiness under my nail. When I had them removed yesterday, I realized it might be my real nail underneath the lifted gel nail? How can I help to heal all of this damage?

Update: Will continue to investigate an allergy, but in the meantime I’ve confirmed with a healthcare professional that it is indeed fungal. Appreciate the suggestions to seek professional advice!

Trainers Pointing

Was scrolling through Facebook when I saw this photo of the trainer pointing. A few, but not all, of the trainers at my gym do this when working individually with someone. I assume it is motivational - a visual cue to ‘keep moving towards this goal’? Any better insight on the purpose of the pointing?
