Onychomycosis

Onichomycosis is an infection caused by fungus that affects the nails, toes and hands. It can manifest itself as yellowish or whitish spot under the tip nails or it may remain limited at the nail itself. When the fungus (usually belonging to the group of dermatophytes) spreads deeper under the nail, it may stain and  thicken nails and crumble along sides. Onychomycosis is more common among the elderly, especially for the lower blood flow and increased exposure to fungus. There are many factors that can cause infection, such as excessive sweating, working in damp, psoriasis, poor footwear that blocks perspiration and does not absorb sweat, small lesions of the skin or the nails themselves, the walking barefoot in public wet areas (such as pools and gyms), or it may be caused by an infection already present, or by diseases such as diabetes, circulatory disorders or immune system. The most common symptoms are the nails as thick or, conversely, very brittle nails and jagged, misshapen, dull or dark.
