With HIV individual infections at 2.4 million, America represents the third largest region with HIV infections. Initially it was among homosexual men and injecting drug users but now it is increasing among poor and less educated parts of the population.

Onychomycosis is a medical term for a common nail disorder, popularly referred to as toenail fungus. This ailment is caused due to various fungi types and leads to considerable nail damage. The fungus develops in dark and damp surroundings so people wearing tight and closed shoes or women applying multiple nail polish coats are more prone to toenail fungus. That is because the fungus, once formed, thrives by gnawing away at the toenail protein called keratin. Toenail fungus is a syndrome that happens in at least 2 to 18 of the world s population and in about 3 to 5 of Americans.

A compounding problem is that these symptoms can come and go from week to week...
