Yellow and thick nails?
A fungal infection may be to blame.
Nail fungus can penetrate your nail matrix and feed on the protein that makes up your nails, causing them to become thick, discolored, and brittle.
If your having any of the following symptoms, you may have an infection:
- Thickened, discolored nails that may turn yellow, brown or black
- Dry and brittle nails that could break off from the nail bed
- Foul odor coming from the infected nails
- Itching or burning sensation on the infected nails
How does someone get a fungal infection?
Toenail fungus is a common condition that can be contracted through direct contact with fungi that grow in moist environments. Normally our body is able to fight off the fungus, but when our immune system is down, it can take advantage.
Common factors that increase the risk of developing toenail fungus include:
- Weakened immune system
- Poor circulation in your feet
- Excessive foot sweatiness
- Trauma to your toe nail
- Diabetes
