Once your nails become brittle or they have a color change, this could be because of a nail fungus infection. The most often affected part is the big toe. It seldom occurs in fingernails. These nail fungus infections are hard to eliminate. It takes time to treat since toenails are slow to grow.
10Symptoms
One sign of a nail fungus is a brownish or whitish-yellowish discoloration of the nail. The nails may turn out brittle, thicker, hard to trim, and misshapen. There are cases when they hurt, and when the affected area separates from the nail bed. The other term for this condition is onychomycosis. This infection normally happens in people who suffer from a severely weakened immune system after a serious illness for instance.
