2. How does a fungal infection lead to thickening of the nail?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When fungus invades into the nail plate or the nail bed, it will quickly multiply itself and make the nail thick.\u00a0 The accumulation of Cornified substances further add\u00a0 thickness to the nail.\u00a0 This causes the nail to discolor.\u00a0 Generally, the nail can be beefed up by two to three times thicker<\/p>\n\n\n\n
