Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes darker in color and smells foul. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. If ignored, the infection can spread and possibly impair your ability to work or even walk. The resulting thicker nails are difficult to trim and make walking painful when wearing shoes. Onychomycosis can also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial or yeast infection in or about the nail plate.

Causes of Toenail Fungus

Because it is difficult to avoid contact with microscopic organisms like fungi, the toenails are especially vulnerable around damp areas where you are likely to be walking barefoot, such as swimming pools, locker rooms, and showers, for example. Injury to the nail bed, even pressure from shoes, may make it more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributing factors may be a history of athlete’s foot and excessive perspiration.

Symptoms of Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus is often ignored because the infection can be present for years without causing any pain. The disease is characterized by a progressive change in a toenail’s quality and color, which is often ugly and embarrassing.

The foot is a critical - and complicated - component of the human body with 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments weaving all of the parts together.

More than 75 percent of Americans experience foot and ankle problems of varying degrees at one time in their lives, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. Additionally, other health issues such as diabetes, anemia, circulatory disorders, arthritis, gout and kidney problems often reveal themselves through symptoms that affect the feet. For example, persistent swelling of your feet may be caused by kidney, heart, or circulatory problems.
