What Are the Symptoms of Onychomycosis?
Onychomycosis presents with nail discoloration, nail plate thickening, nail brittleness and fragmentation, subungual debris accumulation, and periungual inflammation. After dermatophytes invade the nail plate, they persistently damage the nail structure, gradually altering its appearance; however, the rate of disease progression varies among individuals. If symptoms such as periungual erythema, swelling, purulent discharge, or severe throbbing pain occur, prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are recommended.
