Fungi often affect the skin of the legs, legs and gaps of the interdigber - this is the so -called foot epidermophitosis.But in overwhelming cases, fungal infections were placed on nail plates, and this is called in the scientific world - onycomycosis.Nail mushrooms are characterized by localization mainly on two fingers - on the thumb and small finger.The nails on these fingers become uneven, strange, with white or yellow mud appear on them.The nail plate, with a long course of the disease, can be separated from bed to drops.It is completely deformed, there is a tendency to grow.The rash appears on the feet, then peeling, itching (from light to strong) joins, pustular rash, hyperhidrose and an unpleasant odor can appear.The heels also often crack and peel.
Reasons for the formation of infection and what is hazardous nail fungi
In addition to unpleasant external manifestations, the fungus damage the whole body.Its main risk is that old fungi causes the complex flow of other serious diseases (diabetes, allergies, bronchial asthma).Gradually, it completely affects the nail plate and spreads to the fabrics in contact with the nail.According to experts, it is a type of conductor for other infections.Sometimes, against the backdrop of reduced immunity, the pathogen can penetrate the internal organs and cause their loss.Not the last place on this list is intoxication of the body.
- Finger trauma to extremities helps penetrate the skin and horn plate of infection sources.
- Choosing poor quality shoes from air -resistant materials leads to the fact that the feet are constantly in a wet environment.
- Violation of hormonal balance in the body and carbohydrate metabolism contribute to the spread of pathogens of various fungal colonies.
- Immunity, due to systemic failures, weakens the degree of confrontation of infections.
- Therapy with antibiotics and drugs of the bone system group disrupts the balance of the beneficial and harmful microflora, which causes uncontrolled reproduction of fungal pathogens.
- Source and drying out of the extremities pathologically alters the skin structure and cornea, which is a condition for the formation of harmful microorganisms colonies on them.
According to statistics, sometimes the infection occurs in salons that provide nail processing services whose employees do not monitor compliance with sanitary and hygienic norms.Mushrooms "climb" more often for adults, in children mycosis is rare.Doctors explain this from age -related changes to the skin pH, weakening immunity against the background of various diseases.Sometimes the causes of the development of infection fungi are:
- Thyroid disease;
- endocrine disorders;
- Gastrointestinal diseases;
- Transition of adrenal glands.
At risk, doctors include people who abuse alcohol, smoking.To recognize the disease is aided by characteristic changes in the structure of the nail and color.When the mushrooms are inserted, it stains in white, yellow, brown, black shades.
The nail plate itself begins to spread and destroy.Over time, its keratinization occurs.Nail growths help recognize mycoses, which are done more over time and prevent treatment.However, these symptoms do not manifest immediately.
In addition to aesthetic discomfort, nail fungus complicate the course of simultaneous chronic diseases (asthma, allergies and diabetes).It is characterized by increased resistance and adaptation to many types of treatment.When performing an incomplete course of treatment, a sharp decrease in immunity can provoke an active relapse of the disease from a small focus of infection.In this case, the reprint will become much more complicated.If the fungus is not treated, then it gradually occupies not only the whole nail but also the skin around it.This is dangerous in that the affected areas are a "gate" in the human body for other infections.And low immunity fungi themselves can affect the internal organs.

- Cases of fever at the initial stage of the disease are recorded.But due to the lack of pronounced symptoms of nail fungus at this stage, this sign is often not accompanied by onycomycosis.
- The nail plate is broken.
- Postebles possible to have allergic manifestations and ulcers.
