To start treating onychomycozy in time, you should know what the nail mushroom looks like.Mushrooms, candidates and similarities related to the types of dermatophitics can incite the disease.The timely and correct determination of pathogen will allow fungi to quickly and effectively.
What is nail fungus?
The nails have a mushroom disease, a "chronic infection" of ancient Greek onychomycosisy.This disease affects the nail plate where the power was broken.Mushrooms are rapidly promoted, and there is no need for development for development.Due to the high survival of outer fungi, the disease does not occur.
Reasons for nail fungi
As a result, nail fungi shows itself:
- Age and hot environment.After spending in shoes in a long day, the legs sweat very much.Shoes need to dry and leave synthetic socks completely.
- Age.The most incident of the disease occurs from 18 to 55 years.Basically, men suffer.If the nail mushrooms in young people are very rarely, in the first period of age at least 90% in the age of age.This is primarily due to the reduction of nail plates.
- The drugs.It can cause medication, such as antibiotics and cytostatics.
- The immune system.You can easily be infected by stepping with feet not protected on any dirty surface.It is easier for a person who has poor immunity to do this.
- Occupation.The nail fungus can occur due to high temperatures in the work room, gaskeeping or ionizing radiation.Employees of mine, medical institutions, baths and showers are the most vulnerable to the disease.
The three main roads were determined that the mushrooms could fall below the nail plate of the foot:
- Via nail roller.Nail roller is a leather layer around 3 sides of the nail plate.
- From the edge of the nail.In this case, the mushroom falls under the nail and is not over it.In the future, this can become a keratose - a disease where the nail nail bed began to be apart.
- Through the dorsal part of the nail.This part is the most durable, so the mushrooms are less penetrating through it.
Types of nail fungi
The thing that resembles nail mushrooms depends on which mushroom species provokes the disease
Dermatophytes
This is the most common type of Mungal disease.Dermatophyt is affected in 90% of situations on the nail plate.
There are 3 types of this disease, each of them has a different area of the lesion:
| TrichOfit Rubrum | Affects nails and legs |
| Epidermophytic | Fungi manifests itself in 1st and 5th fingers |
| TrichoFit | Fungi shows herself in 1st and 5th fingers, can go to intersigital layers |
Molds
This type of disease is extremely rare.When infected, the nail plate changes the color and becomes black, yellow, brown or blue.
Maya-like fungi
These fungi are not only in nails but also the cause of the girls.The disease makes it thinner than nail.The nail plate gets yellow.If the disease is considered, it is possible to separate the nail from the box.
Stages of the disease
Nail fungi seems to depend on the stage of the disease.
It is customary to distinguish 3 main stages of development:
- It is very difficult to determine the presence of fungi in the first stage.All because there are no visible signs.
- The second stage.When crossing the second stage, the nails glow, the color of the plate begins to change gradually.The nail is more brittle on the edges.You can now see small white spots or grooves, which will increase in size with time.
- The third stage is a negligent form of pathology when a person does not see the disease in a loving way for a long time and does not treat him.At this time, there is a great risk to lose the nail.Begins to break more and more.
What do nail fungi look like: symptoms and signs
Mushrooms have heavy symptoms.In the beginning of the disease, the glow in the nail disappears.The surface of the slab looks like a wave, small white spots appear.
Over time, the nail is brittle, itched.Despite the fragility, the thickness of the nail can be increased.Maybe an insufferation between the fingers is an unbearable feeling.Gradually growing while sleeping in the legs.Probably the formation of corn and bubbles.
Another different sign of the disease is an unpleasant odor.It is blocked by the cavity between the cavity and the beds between the nail and the products of mushrooms.
When the disease begins, the patient can prevent the temperature and pain from moving normally.
Regional Onyicomycosis
The regional onychomycosis is the initial stage of the disease.It is very difficult to determine the disease at this stage.
What seems like nail fungus depends on the degree of development of pathology.A narrow gray lines appear gradually along the edges of the plate.The nail itself begins to be boring.Yellow spots of small sizes occur in the center of nail.The thickness of the plate does not change, but becomes brittle.
The nail is not completely affected.Only individual units suffer.Therefore, the surface of the affected nail is transformed into the checkers.You can review the gray issue under the nail, but the nail itself is not thicker.
Normotorophical
Normotrorophic onychomycosis occurs for the same reasons as the rest of the fungi.Microorganisms enter the skin, after which, penetrates small damage to the depth of small damage from the surface.
In the first days of the disease, Normotrorophic onyokomicosis, the color of the nail does not completely change, but in areas.At the ends and at the end, the nail is white, yellow or gray.The nail plate is bright and faded.Over time, the color of the nail is completely changing, but its thickness does not decrease.
Hypertrophic
Hypertrophic Onyatic Code is considered a developed form of a normotrophic disease.The reasons for its formation do not differ due to other types of nail fungi.
The formation of hypertrophic onyology, wears interconnected, disturbing shoes or hygiene with infected people.The reason may be diseases: HIV, hyperhidrosis and diabetes.
In the legs, which are hypertrophic onycoicosis, the thickness of the nail is severely growing.The thickening of the board can cause a disease like hypercerator (with a disease, the skin is keratinated below).
This looks yellow or gray, because the color of the slab is changing.Nails are opaque, dull.Onichogrifying appearance is possible - a mushroom where the nail is deformed and a bird's clears of a bird.
The side parts of the nail with hypertrophic monkomycosis suffer the most powerful.As a result, severe pain in the fingers prevent a person from moving normal.
White surface form
The white surface form of onychomycosos is the most rarest disease.With this, the nail of the thumb and the little finger was damaged.
Nail leg and matrix with disease do not suffer.White spots appear on the surface of the nail.In time, their size and areas are growing.The color of the spots varies from white to yellow.The nail begins to crash.
If the disease begins, the skin of the skin around the nail is possible.He seems to be severe redness and itching with him.
The thickness of the slab does not change and the surface becomes rough.Often the nails are broken, the shine disappears.
People who visit the most risk of being sick:
- bath;
- Saunas;
- People's books.
The combination of high humidity and temperature is an ideal environment for the rapid development of a fungus.People who use hygiene and generic products of shoes are very risky.
Onychomycoz's white surface form is easy to mix with such diseases:
- SeborHea.
- The first stage of eczema.
- Psoriasis.
Therefore, the dermatologist does not stop in the patient's visual examination.Forced to take biological material and sends it to the laboratory to determine the type of pathogen.
Onycholith
OniCholitical Onychomycosis is characterized by the separation of the nail plate from the box.The nail loses shine and becomes gray.In the field of damage, there is a plot covered with hyperceratosis (excessive thickening of the epidermis layer can be from 1 mm from a few cm).
With a disease, both nail and thinning are possible to thicken.
Candidiasi onychomycosis
This type of disease occurs due to the reduction of skin cover and weak immunity.Candidida, who lives on the gut and urinary tract, quickly begin to multiply and fill in the nail plates.The disease is most common in the women of the population.Most, people who work with the waitress and dishwashers suffer.
At the beginning of the disease, the fungus affects the nail wheel and the skin.The skin flushed and starts to inflammation.Roller inflated, the skin is practically disappear.If the disease is not treated, it can become chronic and peeling of skin in the nail and nail roll and the nail roll will remain forever.
Delivery of treatment can cause the deformation of the nail.This roll begins the center of the nail.It becomes more delicate and pus is possible by a little press on the plate.Wavy white stripes in the plate are clearly visible.
The proximal candidate has a onychomicosis.The difference is that nail rollers are not suffering.To determine the disease, help with white dots of small sizes under the nail.
The third form of the millalty onyology is distal.The fungus affects the remote part of the nail and moves to the middle.The color of the slab is changing and the nail is thickened.The hyperkeratosis occurs under the nail, eventually rises the nail.
Proximal-deformation
Proximately deformed Onychomycosis begins to develop in the form of a lesion for the nail plate.The main feature of the disease is the nail field.It is deformed by this form of the disease and is in a wave.
Atrophy
Atrophic OnyoMycosis is characterized by a brownish-gray change in the color of the nail plate.The nail is affected by the outer end and gradually pass the skin roll.
There are such signs:
- Loss of the natural gloss of the nail.
- Plate is atrophy.
- The nail bed is exposed.
- Tender and atrophy in the future in the future.
- There is a folding of the leather scales layer in the nail bed.
- Infection belongs to neighboring tissues.
With an atrophic onychomycosis, the nail only did not touch the sprout.
Treatment methods
You must contact a dermatologist for diagnosis before any form of onychomycosycosis begins to be treated.Only after laboratory tests and determine the size of the affected areas, the patient is also determined.
As a rule, the treatment of onyophosis, local medications and drugs are used to receive orally.
For more effective treatment, it is recommended that the treatment of personal items and common items to reuse medications.
Perhaps treated in the following ways:
- Physiotherapy.This procedure is determined to improve the blood circulation of the limbs.Used in combination with UHF and Amplipuls-Carlation in physiotherapy, lumbosacral and cervical departments.Laser therapy and diethermi are also used.
- In the case of a non-disease, the doctors decide to remove the nail plate when the nail deform and abandoned.This will then prevent the spread of fungi and give medication more efficient to work on a healthy surface.
Pharmacy products
The main methods of combating mungal diseases include antimotechnics.Treats nail fungi more damage and therefore effectively treat effective areas.Antimototic is suitable for the treatment of almost all kinds of disease, except for the candidate (treatment should be selected individually).
Dermatologists often set the following antimotics:
- Varnishes that may protect the further development of nail.
- Solutions that destroy mushrooms from nail rolls and plate.
- Ointment or gels that make itching and inflammation.
When local treatment does not make the correct effect, it is determined to receive full, preparations inside.The main difficulty of such treatment is located in a large number of opposite directions and precautions.The effects of drugs are gradually increasing.

Iodine processing
Iodine is widely used in the fight with nail fungi.It is good to use a 5% solution for the procedure.All those necessary for treatment are to apply a solution to the affected territory of the nail twice a day.
When iodine applies, the burning feeling is possible.If the burning sensation is weak and does not cause concern - everything is fine.If the pain is heavy, IOD processing should be stopped immediately.The course of treatment with a solution to iodine is long - 2-3 months.
The advanced stage of the disease can lead to more serious consequences.The patient, which is the way of independent treatment, must consult with a specialist in the first signs.Looks like nail fungus, the doctor will be able to assign full treatment.The onychomycosis in the legs is treated quite and effectively with the right approach.
