Onychomycosis
Symptoms of Onychomycosis
Infected nails have an abnormal appearance but are not itchy or painful. In mild infections, the nails have patches of white or yellow discoloration. A chalky, white scale may slowly spread beneath the nail’s surface. In more severe infections, the nails thicken and appear deformed and discolored. They may detach from the nail bed ( see Tumors of the Nails ). Usually, debris from the infected nail collects under its free edge.
