Common Fungal Problems

Fungal problems seen most often are athlete’s foot and fungal nails.

Athlete’s Foot

A chronic infection caused by various types of fungus, athlete’s foot is often spread in places where people go barefoot, such as public showers or swimming pools.

Fungal Nails

When a fungal infection progresses, it may infect one or more nails, turning them yellow, green, black, or other colors.

Note

Shoes made of synthetics such as plastic allow fungus to breed by trapping heat and moisture around your feet.
