Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the nails, commonly leading to discoloration, thickening, and possible separation from the nail bed. It can occur in both fingernails and toenails, with toenail infections being more prevalent. The condition is often caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or non-dermatophyte molds and can be challenging to treat, requiring antifungal medications or, in severe cases, nail removal. Prevention includes maintaining good foot hygiene and avoiding damp environments.
