According to the American Academy of Dermatology, “fungal nail infections [are] quite common” and “your risk of getting a fungal nail infection increases if you:
- Have wet feet or hands frequently throughout the day
- Smoke
- Spend a lot of time in water
- Walk barefoot in a hot, humid place like a pool, public shower, or locker room
- Wear tight-fitting, closed-toe shoes, especially if you have sweaty feet
- Wear plastic gloves for hours every day.”
Fortunately, there are treatment options available!
