fungal infection ex. ringworm or athlete's foot

fungal infection of the nails, which become white, opague, thick and brittle

is a skin infection that occurs around the nails. Symptoms: The main symptom is a painful, red, swollen area around the nail, often at the cuticle or at the site of a hangnail or other injury.
