Who gets fungal nail infections? About 3 in 100 people in the UK will have a fungal nail infection at some stage. Toenails are more commonly affected than fingernails. It is more common in people over 55, and in younger people who share communal showers such as swimmers or athletes. How do you get a fungal nail infection? Spread from a fungal skin infection. For example, athletes foot is a fungal skin infection of the toes. This may spread to the toenails if the skin infection is not treated early. Fingernail infection may occur after a toenail infection has become established. The fungus may spread to a finger if you scratch your itchy toes and toenail. Fingernail infections are also more likely to occur if you wash your hands frequently, or have them in water a lot. For example, if you are a cook or a cleaner. Constant washing may damage the protective skin at the base of the nail. This may allow fungi to enter. A nail that has recently been damaged is also more likely to become infected. You have an increased risk developing a fungal nail infection if you have various other conditions. For example: diabetes, psoriasis, poor circulation, a poor immune system (for example, if you have AIDS or are on chemotherapy), or general poor state of health. Nail infections are more common in people who live in hot or humid climates. Smoking also increases the risk of developing a nail infection. In some cases there is no apparent reason. ...
