Nail Fungus

When I think of nail fungus, the first thing that comes to mind is a rusty nail that a carpenter would use that fell in someone's back yard and started to grow fungus on it. Fungus growing somewhere in the human body is just not something I envision or would even want to believe is possible. But not only is it possible, but many people have this problem. To those that do, you have my condolences. Okay, just a little humor there. But let's get serious for a moment shall we.

If you haven't noticed yet, let me direct you to the picture up above. It's a beautiful site isn't it? That my friend is what you call nail fungus. Please don't throw up just yet because we still have a ways to go. However, I'm sure after seeing that picture that you have pretty much decided that healthy nails are the way to go right?




What Is It?

It is exactly what the name implies it is. Nail Fungus occurs when the nail is infected with fungi. Nail fungus actually starts off pretty subtle. What will happen is that the first stages of fungi will only develop as a yellow or white spot on the finger or toe nail tips. But then problem becomes painfully obvious when it gradually begins to spread. The process is defined when it penetrates deeper into the nail.

At this point, the nail usually becomes discolored. The discolored nails then thicken and develop what is commonly called "crumbling edges". As you can imagine, or have already witnessed for yourself, this is very unsightly. But even more than unsightly, it can be very painful. In medical circles, this is known as Onychomycosis. Please don't ask me to pronounce that.

There is something very ironic about nail fungus that must be noted. The nails of our toes and fingers are naturally barriers that effectively makes it difficult for infection to invade. However, once infection does occur, the nail can equally be a barrier to keep it inside and from leaving.



How Does It Happen?

The fungus of your nails are no different than any other fungus. The very nature of fungus is to grow and develop in a wet or moist climate. Nail infections such as these take place when the nail is continuously exposed to these particular climates. Let's take the toenails for example. The toes being in socks or shoes are automatically exposed to a warm climate. This warm climate naturally produces moisture which we know as sweat.

Another example is when you take a shower every day. Obviously, toes as well as your entire body will be filled with wetness because of it's contact with water. Your toes more so will be affected because of the accumulation of water that collects on the ground. Many times people take for granted drying their feet and toes off properly because of the main focus on getting the upper body dried off. This leaves the toes vulnerable to overexposure to moisture.




What Are The Symptoms?

There are a few obvious symptoms that one can see and easily identify. One of the major ones is the lack of shine or luster in the appearance of the nail. I guess one would call it a "dead nail" because of the darkening in color. This darkening of color happens from the increasing debris that forms under the nail. Worst of all, a foul order may begin to present itself. Depending on how bad the condition gets, the nail may even begin to separate from the nail bed. At this point, it becomes very painful and is referred to as onycholysis.

Other Symptoms are:

* Nail begins to develop a distorted Shape

* Nails become brittle, crumbly or ragged

* Nail deeply thickens

* Itchy or irritation surrounding the flesh around the nail(cuticles)

* Bleeding or detachment of cuticles can also occur
