penultimate toes of the foot.


Other signs of a fungal infection include an unpleasant foot odor, thickening of the epidermis, and nails that have become yellow, green, or white. White or yellow spots on the nails, thickness of the nails, scaling under the nails, blossoming of the nails, lifting of the nails, deterioration of the nails, and buildup of debris under the nails are signs of a fungal infection such onychomycosis.
