toenail fungus
Nail bed contamination
Toenail fungus is a fungal infection that causes toenails to become discolored, thickened, and brittle.
The condition is notoriously stubborn, often requiring months of treatment: I've been dealing with toenail fungus since I started using the gym showers.
Also called onychomycosis in medical contexts.
