The most potent risk factor in the development of onychomycosis is aging. Other risk factors include nail diseases and immunocompromised states.
RISK FACTORS
The following are the various risk factors of onychomycosis. [1][2]
- The most common risk factor for onychomycosis is aging. Reason may be due to nail trauma, poor nail care, poor peripheral circulation or comorbidities which may cause low immunity.
- Family history of onychomycosis
- Warm and moist conditions of the fingers like wearing tight fitting shoes
- Walking with barefoot in public places such as swimming pool, public baths and showers.
- Nail conditions such as tinea pedis, nail injury, nail damage, psoriasis .
- Comorbidities with poor peripheral circulation such as diabetes or peripheral arterial disease.
- Immunodeficient conditions like cancer , post transplant care , HIV , patients on chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
