🔬 What is Nail Fungus?

Nail fungal infection (onychomycosis) is a common condition caused by microscopic fungi that invade the nail and nail bed. These organisms thrive in warm, moist environments and can affect both fingernails and toenails.

The infection typically begins as a small spot under the tip of the nail and gradually spreads deeper, causing the nail to discolor, thicken, and crumble at the edge.
