Is onychomycosis contagious

2018-09-12 12:17:36
I live in a hostel. I am 19 year old boy. My room mate has got onychomycosis for past 2 weeks. Is this contagious? If so, what precautions should I take to not get it? I have heard homoeopathy has some prophylactic treatment. Should I take homoeopathy if onychomycosis is contagious?
