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.
