A fungal nail infection, also known as onychomycosis, is where an infection develops slowly and causes the nail to become discoloured, thickened and distorted. It can affect both fingernails and toenails, but they are more common in toenails.
A fungal nail infection may not cause any obvious symptoms at first, but as it progresses the infection can cause:
Most fungal nail infections occur because of the fungi that cause athlete’s foot infecting the nails. These fungi often live harmlessly on your skin, but they can sometimes multiply and lead to infections. The fungi prefer warm, dark and moist places like the feet.
Yes, fungal nail infections can be spread to other nails on the same person and to other people.
Treatment for fungal nail infections typically involves antifungal medications. These can be topical (applied directly to the nail) or oral (taken by mouth). The type of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and overall health of the patient.
The side effects of fungal nail infection treatments vary depending on the type of medication used. The topical treatments may cause mild skin irritation or redness. Meanwhile, oral antifungal medications can have more significant side effects such as liver problems, skin rashes, or digestive issues.
The duration of fungal nail infection treatment can vary, but typically it takes several months to see significant improvement. It’s crucial to continue treatment as prescribed, even if visible improvements occur earlier, to ensure that the infection is fully eradicated.
Fungal Nail Infections rarely resolve without treatment. The fungi causing the infection and persist and spread if left untreated. While the body’s immune system may fight the infection, it’s often not enough to eliminate it completely.
You can prevent yourself from getting a fungal nail infection by:
It’s generally not recommended to wear nail polish during fungal nail infection treatment. This is because polish can trap moisture, creating an environment where fungi thrive.
The safety of fungal nail infection treatments during pregnancy depends on the specific medication. Some topical treatments may be safe, but oral antifungal medications are generally not recommended due to the potential risks to the foetus.
Yes, certain factors can increase the risk of developing fungal nail infections. These include age (older adults are more susceptible), poor circulation, weakened immune system, and excessive sweating.
Anyone with diabetes or psoriasis may also be at higher risk. Additionally, those who frequently use public swimming pools, gyms, or showers are more exposed to fungi that cause nail infections.
While primarily a cosmetic issue, untreated fungal nail infections can lead to more serious health complications. These risks include cellulitis, widespread skin infections, and increased foot ulcer risk in diabetics.
While fungal nail infections in children are less common than in adults, they can still develop these infections. However, the risk increases in age, especially during teenage years.
Fungal Nail Infections can recur, even after successful treatment. The recurrence rate can be high, especially if the underlying causes aren’t addressed. The major factors like continued exposure to fungi, weakened immune system, or stopping treatment too early can lead to reinfection.
