FUNGAL NAIL INFECTIONS (ONYCHOMYCOSIS)
Fungal Nail Infections (Onychomycosis) are infections generally caused by a class of fungus known as dermatophytes. They can involve the toenails or the fingernails. It is very common in adults and once acquired, it does not spontaneously remit. If not treated it may spread to other nails. It is characterized by thickening and yellowing of the nail, and accumulation of keratotic debris underneath the nail. Unfortunately, topical creams can not penetrate the nails very well, so systemic antifungal therapy is the mainstay of therapy.
