About Nail Fungus
Nail fungus infection begins when the fungi gets into one or more of your nails. What you need to look for is white or yellow spots under the tips of your nails. When the fungus spreads it goes deeper into the nails, then the nails could discolor, develop edges that crumble and thicken and become unsightly and painful.
Infections develop from the nail being exposed to warm moist environments, like sweaty shoes or from shower floors. Fungi in the nails is not the same as the fungus in athlete’s feet that primarily affect the skin of the foot, but it is possible for them to coexist and can be caused by the same type of fungus. Infections in the nails can be
very difficult to treat and infections can return, But the good news is there are over the counter medications available to help rid your nails of the fungus.
