Nail fungus
Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that can affect the nails of the hands or feet, though it more commonly targets the toenails. Unsightly and sometimes stubborn, it alters the appearance of the nail and can impact quality of life.
What is a nail fungus infection?
A nail fungus infection, also known as onychomycosis, is caused by microscopic fungi that attack the keratin in the nail. It typically appears as a yellowish, thickened, brittle, or deformed nail that may sometimes partially detach from the nail bed. Although often painless, this condition can worsen if left untreated, leading to functional discomfort and a risk of spreading to other nails or areas of the skin.
Causes of nail fungus infections
The fungi responsible for nail infections thrive in warm, humid, and enclosed environments. Several factors contribute to their development: prolonged wearing of closed shoes, excessive sweating, poor hygiene, microtraumas, or conditions like athlete’s foot. Contamination can also occur through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces (public showers, pools, non-sterile manicure salons). Fungal infections are sometimes linked to an imbalance in the skin microbiome or a decrease in local immunity.
