Fungal nail infections are commonly found in people aged over 55, and regular users of communal showers, such as athletes or swimmers.

Fungal nails are usually characterised by a white/black/yellow/green thickened nail with a brittle, flaky appearance. In some cases, the infected area can produce an unpleasant odour. Infections do not always show symptoms or cause pain.
