A nail fungus infection is an invasion of your nail bed by a live fungus. This fungus lives, feeds, and grows deep in your nail bed.
Many people try to get rid of the fungus by using over-the-counter surface treatments. However, most of these are not able to penetrate the hard surface of your nail in sufficient amounts to reach the infection. They may end up being a waste of money and time. Ask your doctor about getting an effective treatment from the start.
A Treatment Story
"I put some antifungal cream on it [my nails] — whatever you get, you know, at the department stores or grocery stores. But that didn't help at all."
