Nail fungus is a chronic fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails that begins as a yellow or white spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. This infection can be caused by fungal yeast through direct contact of the nail with the fungus. Common risk factors include increased age, excessive sweating, walking barefoot in damp communal areas. Common symptoms include nail abnormalities such as discoloration, increased nail thickness, abnormal nail growth, and brittle nails.

Fungi thrive in warm and moist environments. Steps one could take to prevent nail fungus include: avoid walking barefoot in wet areas, wash hands and feet regularly, disinfect nail clippers after each use, wear sweat absorbent socks or change socks throughout the day, and wear breathable shoes.
