Fungal Infections of Skin and Nails in North Adams

Nail fungus generally begins as a white or yellow spot under the toenail or fingernail. As the infection gets deeper into the nail, the fungus may cause overall discoloration, leading it to thicken or crumble at the edges. Not only can it affect one nail – it can affect several. If the condition is very mild and it doesn’t bother you, you may not need treatment at all. However, if it’s painful and has thickened, you may require treatment.

Many types of fungi can cause this, which includes dermatophyte fungus, yeast, and molds. These pesky microscopic organisms love to live in wet and warm environments such as showers and pools where it can be passed from one person to another. Exposing any body part to these environments may welcome the infection; however, feet are more likely to be affected.

Dermatologic treatment may be right for you if you are experiencing the discolored yellow or white streaks on your nails, skin, or nail bed; there’s a buildup of skin and/or nail fragments under the nail; the nail is thickening, breaking, or separating from the sin; and if there’s discomfort when you walk or run.
