What is nail infection?

A fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) leads to nails turning thick, discolored (yellow, white, or brown), and brittle or crumbly. It is frequently contracted by walking barefoot in damp communal areas or spreading from a skin condition like athlete’s foot.

Signs and Symptoms

Nails change color to yellow, white, or brown

Nails become thick or difficult to trim

Edges turn brittle, ragged, or crumbly

The nail may separate or lift from the underlying skin bed

Prevention and Care

Maintain clean and dry hands and feet

Wear footwear or sandals in public showers and swimming pools

Trim nails straight across while keeping them short

Avoid sharing clippers, socks, or footwear

Treatment Options

Over-the-counter or prescription topical medicated nail lacquers and creams

Prescription oral antifungal tablets provided by a healthcare professional

Professional trimming or surgical removal of the infected nail in severe cases

Fungal nail infections can take time to clear completely, as the nail needs to grow out fully during treatment.
