Symptoms of Fingernail Fungus
|
|
One of the earliest symptoms of fingernail fungus is a yellowish or brownish discoloration of the fingernail. It's mild, and may go unnoticed, especially if you wear nail polish, but it will likely progress over time. The color change is the result of the fungus producing colored pigments as it grows and gets established under the fingernail.

Treatments For Fungal Fingernail Infection
|
|
There is something quite horrific about a fungal fingernail infection: no one likes to think that there is a fungus growing in, or under, their fingernail. Fungus actually rarely infects people because fungi are adapted for growing on dead and decaying organic material. The human immune system is able to fight off most fungi that it comes in contact with. Fingernails and toenails (and hair) are the notable exception to this rule because the cells that make up fingernails are not alive. They are dead cells packed tightly together to provide protection for the fingertips. Unfortunately, fungi can live on this dead material, and fungal fingernail infections are not uncommon.
