Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common condition where fungi infect the nails, leading to a variety of symptoms. It can affect one or multiple nails and, in some cases, the skin surrounding the nails.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When a fungal infection starts, you might notice a small discoloured spot on your nail that grows over time. The nail can become white, yellow, or brown, turn brittle, break easily, and emit an odour. In severe cases, the nail thickens and may eventually detach from the nail bed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
