Types Of Toenail Fungal Infections

---

A yeast infection is relatively rare as it typically occurs in children with an immune system disorder in which an extensive Candida infection affects the scalp, mouth, torso, and nails.

White islands is an infection that commonly seen on toenails (and fingernails). The infection begins as a superficial toenail fungus that spreads to the nail bed, causing the nail to look cloudy, and often forms white islands.

The most common cause of toenail infection is distal toenail infection, which occurs when the nail tip lifts from the nail bed, allowing fungus to enter. The condition is caused by wearing shoes that are too tight, which is called distal subungual onychomycosis.

Patients with immune system disorders are more likely to develop proximal toenail infections. In some cases, the fungus can enter the nail bed through the cuticle.
