A fungal nail infection often appears when nail fungus attacks your fingernails, toenails, and the nail bed. Fungi may also attack the nails through cracks and small cuts in the skin surrounding the nail or an entry point between the nail and nail bed. If you are healthy, the infection won’t have any serious complications.
13What causes the infection?
Fungal nail infections may be brought by molds, yeasts, or other types of fungi. Fungi grow well in moist and warm environments. They can be spread from one person to another. You can incur this nail fungus infection by walking barefoot in public places like pools and sharing personal effects like towels and nail clippers.
