Why is Nail Fungus Tough to Beat?
A fungus or a microorganism known as dermatophytes attacks the skin when there is a cut on the nail bed, most of the times this cut goes unnoticed which further deepens due to constant pressure from the shoes you are wearing or sometimes due to the in grown nails etc. These microorganisms reproduce rapidly in the humid atmosphere due to lack of air circulation aggravating the problem. The early signs of nail fungal infection are a slight discoloration of the fingernail or the toenail as they tend to develop yellow or white spots under the nail tips. As the infection increases there is further discoloration of the entire nail making it thicker and brittle. In some cases the infected nail causes a lot of pain.
