Chances are you haven’t heard of the word, onychomycosis, but you may have seen it or even smelled it on someone’s feet.
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails that may involve any component of the nail unit, including the matrix, bed, or plate.
Toenail fungus can begin as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your toenail. You may think it’s harmless at first, but as the infection goes deeper, toenail fungus can cause your toenail to become thick, brittle and discolored. The infection is contagious and can spread from toenail to toenail and person to person. It can sometimes cause pain and often a foul odor.
Yuck!
