The Mayo Clinic defines Nail Fungus as: âNail Fungus is a fungal infection in one or more of your nails. An infection with Nail Fungus may begin as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the Nail Fungus spreads deeper into your nail, it may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and develop crumbling edges â an unsightly and potentially painful problemâ. Adults are more prone to develop Nail Fungus on their toenails, because the fungus infections love dark, warm and moist areas.
