‘Chris Pratt has an interesting case of tinea unguium and I know that sounds crazy but at the end of the day, it’s just straight-up toenail fungus,’ Schaeffer said.
He added that the issue was ‘not too severe,’ ‘not life-threatening,’ and could be ‘taken care of pretty easy and quick.’

The Mayo Clinic says that ‘nail fungus is a common infection of the nail,’ which ‘begins as a white or yellow-brown spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail.
‘As the fungal infection goes deeper, the nail may discolor, thicken and crumble at the edge.’
The clinic said that it can ‘affect several nails’ and return after treatment.
