Germs that affect the nail can be either fungal or bacterial. An unhealthy nail is easily recognized which can be important in limiting the destruction of the nail with early treatment. These infections are often acquired through nail grooming or coming in contact with contaminated areas in the environment. Soil and water are the source of many of the causative germs. New treatments both topical and oral can help eradicate these infections to restore a healthy nail.
