What is Nail Fungus?
Fungal disease is a type of infection and is highly contagious. It can manifest itself in hands, elbows, feet, genital area and many different parts. It begins as a small yellow dot on the nails and this yellow dot grows over time, covering the entire nail, causing the color to change, break, and lay out later. It is sometimes seen on one or several nails, sometimes on all nails of the hand or standing.
Although it affects our quality of life quite, it is a disease that we can get rid of in a short time if necessary precautions are taken and correct practices are performed. Unfortunately, especially in our country, many of the people with this disease do not apply the correct treatment, even if some part of the nail fungus is waiting for the infection to pass on its own. It should be known that nail fungus can start with nails and affect healthy skin and may cause infection on healthy skin. Another important part is that infection with common objects or areas will increase the risk of catching the disease in other people around you. Therefore, it should be treated correctly as soon as possible.
