Nail Infections

Fungal infections can occur everywhere in the body. Fungi are naturally found in and on the human body, alongside with microorganisms. However, an infection can occur when a fungus begins to overgrow.

Onychomycosis, commonly known as tinea unguium, is a fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails. Because fungal infections often develop over time, any instant alteration in the appearance or feel of your nails may be too faint to detect at first.
