ONYCHOMYCOSIS

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails and fingernails. This fungus causes nails to thicken, discolour, disfigure and split. At a glance, onychomycosis appears to be only a cosmetic concern but without treatment, the toenails can become abnormally thick forcing the toe to press against the inside of the shoes causing pressure, irritation and pain. Onychomycosis can be caused by family history, poor health, trauma, showering in public showers or wearing shoes that does not allow proper airflow. Treatment is established after laboratory test with medication and takes long time.
