Toenail fungus is evident in the toenail itself, but the infection resides in the nail bed underneath the nail plate. The nail matrix or cells from which the nail grows is the part of the toenail that becomes infected with fungus.
Our toenails tell us a lot about our overall health and well-being. Nails contain a protein called keratin, just like skin and hair. This is what makes nails strong, hard plates or shields. The matrix in the nail bed creates new skin cells which push out the old ones creating a nail. If the nail matrix is damaged or injured, this can affect the way the nail grows.
