What is Toenail Fungus? Toenail fungus is an infection on the toenail caused by fungus. Your toenail may change in color to yellow or brown. It may also change its shape, lift or crumble. What causes toenail fungus are microorganisms called dermatophytes. They thrive in warm and moist environments like sweaty socks and shoes, communal showers, gym locker rooms, or public pools. Once a person is infected, it can spread to another person. Other risks are nail injury or underlying diseases that weaken the immune system. How can toenail fungus be prevented? This can be done by maintaining proper foot hygiene. Wash and dry your feet regularly and trim your toenails properly. Also avoid walking barefoot around public pools and gym showers. And because the infection can spread from person to person, do not share personal care items like socks, towels, nail clippers, or nail files. When you visit a podiatrist, they can recommend possible treatment options. There are topical treatments, oral medication, as well as laser treatment.
