What toenail fungus looks like

Toenail fungus is a type of fungal infection (also known as onychomycosis) that affects the nails on your toes.   The infected toenail takes on a milky or yellowish appearance and can become brittle along the edges.   Two of the most common fungi causing nail infections are dermatophytes and yeast.   Dermotophytes are the most common for toenail infections while yeast infections are seen more in fingernails.
