Nail Infection
Fingers and toenails affected by candida infection result in a condition called onychomycosis.9Westerberg, Dyanne P., and Michael J. Voyack. ‘Onychomycosis: Current Trends in Diagnosis and Treatment.’ American Family Physician, 1 Dec. 2013, www.aafp.org/afp/2013/1201/p762.html Infection usually starts with red, swollen cuticles and tender nail beds. Nails may become thin and brittle with flaky or pitted white surfaces that crumble, break or split easily.
An ongoing fungal infection may cause thick nails with brown, yellow or white discoloration. Debris may build up underneath nails, and the nail itself can lift and detach from the nail bed.
