A foot fungal nail infection does not go away unless it is treated and many people chose to ignore the brittle, thickened nails and the white patches that are the typical symptoms of a foot fungal infection Often patients disguise the infection by using nail varnish but this only covers up the infection. Left untreated the fungi continues to spread and the condition gets worse ultimately resulting in the loss of the nail. Fungal nail infection (also known as onychomycosis) is an infection of the fingernails or toenails by fungi also known as dermatophytes. The infection normally starts along the outside rim of the nail, which turns whitish-yellow or brown and green. The fungus spreads into or underneath the nail plate, causing the plate to thicken.
