Cause of Toenail Fungus

A toenail can become infected by a number of different kinds of fungus, yeast or mold. These microorganisms are commonly found on the body, especially around the feet where the warm, moist environment provides them the perfect breeding ground. Conditions which support the growth of toenail fungus include a history of trauma or damage to the toenail, hereditary factors, and a history of poor foot hygiene. MORE
