Types of toe Fungus

One instance of Candida can spread to the toe or finger nails, causing a type of onychomycosis or nail fungus. Candida can cause a lot of health problems and some of them can be very serious. This is mostly due to the fact that it can stay for a long time in a person’s body before it gets detected and during that time the infection can spread.

Distal lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO) is the most common form of fungal nail infection. In DLSO, the fungus generally spreads from the skin and invades the underside of the nail where the nail meets the nail bed.

Proximal subungual onychomycosis is different from most fungal infections of the nail because this form begins at the cuticle and works its way toward the tip of the nail. Just like other nail fungus infections, this fungus causes the nail to become disfigured.
