Risk factors

Anyone can develop fungal nail infections, but there are also certain factors which increase the risk of you getting a fungal nail infection. These include:

• Getting older
• Certain sports such as running (footwear may prevent the feet from breathing) and swimming (use of communal changing rooms and showers) provide ideal conditions for fungal growth
• Smoking – the more cigarettes you smoke a day the higher the risk of getting a fungal nail infection
• Certain jobs that involve a person having their hands or feet in water, such as life guards or people washing dishes
• Some medical conditions such as psoriasis or circulatory problems
