Fungal nails are a result of a fungal infection that affects the nails. The fungal infection can start at the tip of the nail or at the base of the nail.
Fungal nails often occur in warm environments when feet tend to sweat more. Fungus typically thrives in areas that are damp such as swimming pools, showers and locker rooms. Additionally, fungus can be found in wet shoes, whether from sweat, rain or stepping in water, that were never properly dried. Sharing shoes, clothing and a shower with someone who has fungus can cause transmission of fungus. Fungal nails are especially common in people that are immunocompromised such as people with diabetes.
Avoid walking barefoot and practice good foot hygiene.
