99% of the time when I did skin scrapings on people who had fungus in their hands, it was antibiotic related. I always found tetracycline, mostly penicillin.
Just discard, because that's a mold and penicillin is a mold because antibiotics are molds. So, then the body produces its own molds to help break those down to eliminate them.

I noticed it after I had a manicure.

Well, it could because that chemical that they use. In fact, three of their chemicals are pretty potent and they can cause a lot of tissue damage underneath, even to the bone and molds can work on that too.

Is that related to the penicillin?

No, that would be the 1% that people are having it from cosmetic stuff. I've also seen mechanics. I don't get that many mechanics, but i've have maybe five mechanics in 30 years, and when I did scraping on the hands with their mold, it was all solvent related. In fact, we found the compounds of brake fluid were the worst.
