Although this green discoloration may have the appearance of a mold this is NOT a mold. Mold is not a human pathogen at least not a living human. You can replace the acrylic once nail is thoroughly cleaned as the stain will have to grow off.

Since the discoloration is underneath the nail it will not disappear with washing or scrubbing. When not treated properly this spot will continue to grow and cause some significant damage to the natural nail. Typically the nail does not provide a sustainable environment for these bacteria to grow however when conditions are perfect such as when moisture gets trapped these bacteria make a home either on top of the natural nail and under an enhancement.
