Fungal infections of the nails are medically termed “Onychomycosis” It is estimated to effect 1.6 million Australians. Fungi are dermatophytes that feed on nail keratin. Appearance of the nail can range from brown and crumbly through to white and separated. Fungus usually invade the nail because of injury to the nail bed, tight footwear or a pre-existing medical condition. Fungus can spread from one toe to another and thrive in warm humid conditions. Early treatment will give greater long term outcomes.
