Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection that affects the fingernails or toenails, leading to discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and nail distortion. It is mainly caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds that thrive in warm, moist environments. Risk factors include poor foot hygiene, diabetes, weakened immunity, aging, and frequent exposure to damp areas such as public showers or swimming pools. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through clinical examination and laboratory tests. Treatment options include topical antifungal medications, oral antifungal drugs, and in severe cases, nail removal. Preventive measures such as proper nail care, keeping feet dry, wearing breathable footwear, and maintaining hygiene can significantly reduce the risk of infection.
