Abstract
Aim and objective of the current study was the awareness about onychomycosis. The comprehensive of 68 subjects engaged in prevalent study. Subjects were the postgraduate biology students of Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. We composed the questionnaire and inquire their perspective about onychomycosis. It was completed from the prevalent investigation that onychomycosis was a fungal disease and recessively found among the male individuals. Onychomycosis is a fungal contagion of the nail. White or yellow nail blemish or discoloration, thickening or buttress of the nail or segregation of the nail from the nail mattress are the signs of the onychomycosis. The most affected areas of the body are toenails and fingernails. But the toenails are most reported to be affected by this. Onychomycosis or tinea is an infection of nails bed, matrix, or plate. It causes the many types of entanglement including cellulitis of lower legs and causes the plate, stitch, discomfiture etc. Although it is a function but without any pain [1]. This disease can also produce the visible and professional curb and trim the quality of life span. The superficial fungal infection is taken intently as it causes the epidemic health problems such as they produce the fungal stock that can be hand on through shoes and direct union. As a result, it can be transmitted from the toenails to other parts of the body. It occurs in 10% of adult population and is found more in males than in females [2].
