Onychomycosis is highly contagious, and pathogenic bacteria are also common in life, because the position and structure of nails are special. If you have tinea pedis and onychomycosis at the same time, it will increase the difficulty of treatment. Even if tinea pedis is treated temporarily, onychomycosis will recur if it is not cured. The pathogen of onychomycosis may also come into contact with other skin parts of the body, thus leading to the occurrence of new ringworm.
