    fungal infection affecting nails, causing thickening and discoloration

    Onychomycosis, also known as nail fungus or tinea unguium, is a fungal infection that affects the nails, causing them to become thickened, discolored, and brittle. It is commonly caused by dermatophytes, but can also be due to yeasts or non-dermatophyte molds. Treatment often involves antifungal medications, which can be topical or oral, and in severe cases, may require removal of the affected nail.
