Fungus Nail


A fungus nail is a unsightly condition which can be difficult to treat.Fungus nail usually begins towards the far end of the nail. It may start with patches of white or yellow discoloration. If fungus nail is left untreated, it will proceed to the base of the nail. It will attack the nail root (matrix) and cause the nail to grow very thick and deformed.The big toe is usually the first nail to be affected with fungus nail. It can spread to adjacent toenails. In rare cases, fungus nail will also affect the skin surrounding the nails.If fungus nail is not treated for along period of time, the nail will become very brittle. It easily gets vitiate and its spreads.

A fungus nail is abominable that's why many people don't like getting a pedicure when they have a fungus because they don't want to contaminate them. Funguses easily spread out when other people touch it. That is how it goes to the other toe nails also. When they are going to get a pedicure they have to throw away the supplies after they use it becuase it will still get on it. Some people don't care and they still go and to their pedicure. They get it because they don't take care of their nails.
