Nail Fungus
A fungus is an
organism that lives in warm moist areas. Fungus of the toenails is a common
problem that can affect people of all ages, although it most commonly affects
individuals who are older.
Toenail fungus often begins as an infection in the skin
called tinea pedis (also known as athlete’s foot). The fungus often starts
under the nail fold at the end of the nail. Over time it grows underneath the
nail and causes changes to its appearance, such as a yellow or brownish
discoloration. It can also cause thickening and deformity of the toenail.
Many people have difficulty with their toenails and need
assistance in caring for them. Hosey Foot and Ankle Centers can diagnose the
cause of toenail problems and recommend treatments.
