Toenail Fungus

Also known as onychomycosis, toenail fungus occurs when fungi under the toenail creates an infection. When this occurs, the nail often becomes darker in color and may emit a foul odor. This type of infection is capable of spreading to other nails or surrounding skin. This condition usually is caused by being in contact with damp areas that microscopic organisms like fungi produce. Some everyday examples as explained by the APMA can be when walking around barefoot in:

• Swimming Pools


• Locker Rooms


• Showers
