The state of your nails acts as an indicator of all the skin problems that you’re facing on a daily basis.
What is nail fungus?
Nail fungus is a common disease that starts with white or yellow spots under the fingernails or toenails. As the fungal infection deepens, nail fungus may cause the nail to become discolored, thickened, and cracked at the edges.
Having dry, discolored, brittle nails makes it impossible to wear sandals, flip-flops, or to go barefoot. Even when wearing closed-toed shoes, just knowing that you have a nail fungal infection can affect your self-confidence and sense of overall well-being.
