What is nail fungus?
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common infection that can affect fingernails and especially toenails . Fungi—usually dermatophytes, less commonly yeast or mold fungi—colonize on and under the nail, leading to visible changes over time.
Typical causes of nail fungus are often humid conditions (e.g. in swimming pools),
- minor injuries to the cuticle
- or a weakened immune system.

Description |
|
Dermatophytes |
The most common trigger. These fungi feed on keratin and attack the nails directly. |
|
Yeast fungi |
Candida species in particular. They are more common in people with impaired skin barrier function. |
|
mold |
Less common, but can also affect the nail plate. |
Typical signs of nail fungus
- Nail discoloration (whitish, yellowish, brownish or greenish)
- Thickenings and deformations
- Brittle nail structure
- Nail detachment
- Sometimes unpleasant smell
Early medical diagnosis can help stop further progression.
Options for nail fungus care
Medical examination
A dermatologist can take and analyze samples to determine the exact pathogen type, allowing for better planning of appropriate care approaches.
Medications
Antifungal preparations are often used in the form of tablets, varnishes or creams:
- Tablets (e.g. terbinafine) – for internal use
- Nail polishes/creams (e.g. with ciclopirox or amorolfine) – applied locally to the nail
The treatment is usually administered over several months. Continuous use is crucial to achieving satisfactory results.
Home remedies
Many people also rely on natural remedies:
- Tea tree oil
- Apple cider vinegar
- Baking soda
These substances can complement your daily care routine. However, using them alone is usually not sufficient for severe infestations.
Laser
A new approach is laser therapy . Here, the nail is treated with targeted light pulses. This method is usually performed in several sessions.
Nail removal
In particularly stubborn cases, complete removal of the affected nail may be considered – as a last resort under medical supervision.
