Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nails, often caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds. It can affect both toenails and fingernails, though it’s more common in toenails. Symptoms might include: - Discoloration of the nail (yellow, brown, or white) - Thickening or crumbling of the nail - Distorted nail shape - Nail detachment from the nail bed Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, which can be topical or oral. Topical treatments are applied directly to the nail, while oral medications are taken by mouth and can be more effective for severe cases. In some cases, laser therapy or surgical removal of the nail might be recommended. Preventive measures include keeping nails trimmed and clean, avoiding walking barefoot in public places, and not sharing nail care tools. #NailFungus#ToenailFungus#Onychomycosis#FungusNails#NailHealth#FootCare#Podiatry#NailTreatment#NailCare#AditiSkinAndHairClinicErode
