Understanding Nail Fungus
Nail fungus occurs when fungi, including dermatophytes, yeast, and molds, invade the nail bed through small cuts or separations between the nail and the nail bed.
Nail fungus typically begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of the nail and can progress to discoloration, thickening, and crumbling of the nail. If left untreated, nail fungus can spread to other nails and cause further complications.
