What is nail fungus?
At the risk of being redundant, nail fungus (onychomyosis) is any fungus that grows under fingernails or toenails. There are different types of fungus that thrive under nails–causing symptoms such as yellowing, splitting and irregular nail growth–but the most common are dermatophytes. Nail fungus usually begins as a white or yellow spot under the nail and as it grows the infected nail can become yellow or black and might even fall off.
