What Is Toenail Fungus?
Toenail fungus, also called onychomycosis, is a fungal infection of the toenails and surrounding tissues. It is estimated that 14% of the total population has fungal nail infections. Fungal toenail infections are far more common than fungal fingernail infections.
Toenail Fungus Symptoms
There are several symptoms that indicate a person has toenail fungus, including nails that are:
- Brittle, crumbly, or ragged
- Cracked
- Discolored
- Misshapen
- Separated from the nail bed
- Thicker than normal
An unpleasant odor is also common. People with toenail fungus may also have other fungal skin infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and tinea pedis.
