Nail fungus is a fungal infection of the nail and nail bed. This should be differentiated from athlete’s foot in which the fungus infects the skin of the feet. About half of the fungal infections occur as a result of nail disorders. Therefore, the infection is much more common under sick or deformed toenails.

Nail infection is usually very persistent and requires complicated treatment to restore the clear nail. In addition, Toenail Fungus Infections may cause embarrassment because of the deformed nails. Toenail Fungus signs include a thickened nail plate or nail bed, yellow discoloration of the nails, foot pain and bad foot odor. The nails often become thick and fragile and can detach from the nail bed.

Nail fungus usually starts at the distal end of the fingernail or toenail. The infection then spreads to the proximal end of the nail towards the nail bed. Finally, the fungal infection spreads to other toenails, but rarely infects all of them. Candida and Dermatophytes are the most common fungi causing nail infections. But mostly, the combination of fungi and a moist environment can speed up the fungus growth. Individuals with a weak immune system, such as diabetic patients and elderly people, are more susceptible to toenail fungus.
