SYMPTOMS OF NAIL FUNGUSA nail fungus usually begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your nail and can often go unnoticed or overlooked. As the fungus begins to spread and goes deeper into the nail, several obvious signs and symptoms of the fungal infection become apparent.

Infected nails become thick, brittle, discolored, lose their luster and shine, begin to crumble, break easily, become ragged and can eventually fall off. Infected nails may also become thick and pain may develop in the affected fingers or toes. In this case, the nail will often separate from the nail bed, often causing a foul odor of dead tissue. In severe cases, the skin surrounding the infected nail will become swollen, red, and extremely painful.
