Onychomycosis
Onychomycosis, also known as tinea unguium, is a fungal infection of the nail commonly caused by dermatophytes and Fusarium, characterized by white or yellow discoloration, thickening, and possible separation of the nail from the nail bed. Treatments primarily involve antifungal drugs, though options are limited, and risk factors include athlete's foot, other nail conditions, and poor immune function.
