Fungal Nail Infections

Onychomycosis, or fungal nails, is a condition in which one or more toenails is infected by fungi.  If you are suffering from this condition, don't be embarrassed.  Over ten percent of the population has onychomycosis and it is not caused by hygiene.  This condition can be transmitted in public areas like public showers or pools. According to Mayoclinic.com, nail fungal infections are typically caused by a fungus that belongs to a group of fungi called dermatophytes. But yeasts and molds also can be responsible for nail fungal infections.
However,you should not let it ruin your sandal wearing days!  You may have onychomycosis if you have any or all of the following symptoms.

• Thick Nails
• Crumbly Nails
• Deformed Nails
• Dull Nails

• Nails Dark In color
