Description

Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) occur when fungi penetrate the nail bed, leading to discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and an unpleasant odor. These infections are commonly caused by warm, damp environments, poor foot hygiene, excessive sweating, or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Over-the-counter antifungal treatments, prescription medications, and maintaining dry, clean nails are essential for treatment and prevention. Regular trimming, avoiding tight shoes, and disinfecting nail tools help prevent recurrence.
