Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nails, causing discoloration and thickening of the affected nail plate.
Although it is not life-threatening, fungal nail infections are a significant public health concern because of their high prevalence, inadequate response to therapy, and essential clinical, social, and financial impact.
Onychomycosis was initially observed to be predominantly caused by dermatophytes. However, new researches have revealed that mixed infections and those caused by non-dermatophyte molds (NDMs) are more prevalent than previously, especially in warmer climates.
Some of the common symptoms of Onychomycosis are thickening of nails, whitish to yellow-brown discoloration of nails, brittle, crumbly, ragged, distorted and smelling slightly foul nails.
