SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES OF FUNGAL INFECTIONS

Fungal infection is contagious and affects different parts of your body, including toenails, and it continues to grow over a while. It is one of the most common nail problems complained about by people. If left untreated, it may cause pain or discomfort while walking and running. Early identification of nail infection plays a vital role in the recovery process and helps in avoiding complications.

  • Thickened nails
  • Nail discolouration
  • Crumbling edges on your nails
  • Dark-coloured nails

  • If you regularly use artificial nails
  • If you had skin infection around your toenail
  • If you have poor blood circulation in the body
