Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis): They are common infections of toenails or fingernails caused by different types of fungi living in the environment. These germs enter the nail through small cracks in the nail or surrounding skin and cause infection. The symptoms include thick, or discoloured (brown, yellow or white) nails and nails more likely to break. Unless it becomes severe, it is not painful usually. Fungal infections are more common in toenails than in fingernails.

Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm): It is a fungal infection of the scalp that involves both hair and skin. It is contagious, and the symptoms include dry, itchy, scaly patches, hair loss and redness. The name ringworm is due to its circular shape. It mostly occurs in children between 3 to 7 years of age.
