Onychomycosis, or nail fungal infection is present when your nails acquire a yellowish hue, along with other symptoms such as brittleness, thickening, or ragged nails. Nails may also acquire a darker color due to dirt buildup beneath the infected nail. Nail fungal infection may also cause the nail to be torn off from the nail bed. This condition is called onycholysis, and may cause the victim much pain. A bad odor may also emanate from the infected nails.

Thus, when you incur these manifestations, do not hesitate to consult your physician to learn about the ways to cope with this condition. In doing so, you will also have peace of mind – knowing that there is someone who knows the best cure to this skin infestation.
