INTRODUCTION

The finger nail is an important part of the human body. Just as other parts of the body gets infected, the nails could also get infected with disease. The finger nails gets deformed as a result of having some fungal infections. When the nails gets infected, it begins to get deformed from either the right or the left side of root of the nail inside.

When I had this experience, it was such painful for anyone to go through. The bad side of it is that, when one finger nail gets infected, other ones are also at the risk of geting infected. The v
fungi spreas to other nails. One of the ways through which the fungi that deforms the nails could be contacted through water.

Importance Of The Finger Nails

The nails are located on some areas of the body such as the fingers and toes. They add beauty to the outward appearance of the body. Infact, I would say that the female are the ones who make more use of the nails as they paint their nails to add beauty to their outlook. The nails are important to us in the following ways:

• It shields or protects the top of the finger tips and toes.

• It is useful for scratching the body

• It could be used to unlock or open closed objects

• It reduces the stress which the fingers undergoes while engaging in actions like writing, and the toes while walking.

ONYCHOMYCOSIS AS A FINGERNAIL OR TOENAIL DISEASE

This is a fungal nail infection that affects the finger nails or occurs at the toe nails. The virus starts eating the root of the fingernails or toenails right inside. The finger gets swolen in the process and pores begins to come out. At this point, the fingernails gets deformed at its root inside as the fingernails is on its continous growth.

I also got my hands on some native medications which I applied the my fingenails. Gradually I got healed.
