AB  - Onychomycosis  is  an  invasion  of  the  nails  by  any  fungus.  Four  clinical  subtypes  are  described.  Distal  subungual  presents  as  discolorations  of  the  free  edge  of  the  nail  with  hyperkeratosis,  leading  to  subungual  accumulation  of  friable  keratinaceous  debris.  White  superficial  consists  of  sharply  outlined  white  areas  on  the  nail  plate,  which  leave  the  surface  friable.  Proximal  subungual  presents  as  discolorations  that  start  proximally  at  the  nail  fold.  Candidal  onychomycosis  encompasses  the  entire  nail  plate,  leaving  the  surface  rough  and  friable.
