Onychomycosis - Nail Care & Management for Fungal Infections

Onychomycosis is one of the most common nail conditions, caused by fungi that affect the nail plate. It may appear on both toenails and fingernails and is characterized by thickening, discoloration, and changes in the texture of the nail.

The condition progresses slowly and, if not managed properly, can lead to nail deformation or detachment.

Its occurrence is associated with warmth, humidity, and reduced oxygenation of the nails; factors that promote fungal growth. Proper care and consistent management are key to restoring the healthy structure and natural appearance of the nails.

Epidemiological Data

Onychomycosis affects approximately 8–10% of the general population, with prevalence rising to 30% after the age of 60

It accounts for over 50% of all pathological nail disorders

In Greece, dermatologists report that 1 in 5 patients visiting podiatry clinics show signs of fungal infection

Symptoms of Onychomycosis
