Prevalence

Onychomycosis (Nail Fungus) refers to a fungal infection that affects the toenails and/or the fingernails. It could involve any part of the nail unit, including the nail matrix, the nail bed, or the nail plate. Nail Fungus is not life threatening, but it can result in pain, discomfort, and disfigurement. Emotional effects resulting from Nail Fungus are widespread and may have a significant impact on the quality of life.
