Onychomycosis is a pathology that destroys nail plates.The mushroom eats keratin - the basis for the construction of the nail.The infection falls into the intercellular space and begins its division.In the advanced phases, the pathology is able to influence the skin of the feet, the intercal area, the heels.

Causes of nail mushrooms
A onychomicosis infect is quite easy.The infection can hide on the beach, in the public soul, in the pool.A high probability of capturing a mushroom from infected relatives or acquaintances (using common lives).
There are several main prerequisites that can cause the entrance of the virus into the human body:
- A weak immune system - a decrease in protective forces due to infectious or inflammatory diseases;
- Vascular pathologies (blocking of veins) violations of the work of the internal organs (diabetes), which lead to problems with blood circulation at the lower ends;
- They give less to the skin on the feet (abrasions, microocack, seeds, corn) that occurred due to wearing tight shoes;
- ignore the skin eruption of the diaper and the intensive sweating of the lower limbs;
- Violation of caution measures: trying on someone else's role, visiting public places without slippers and abandonment of legs of the legs.
Types of nail mushrooms
Onychomycosis can cause different types of mushrooms.Dermatophytes, for example, appear in the form of cloud of the nail.There is a formation of yellow spots along the edges or in the middle of the plate.In addition, longitudinal stripes can be observed along the affected area.
The yeast mushroom causes the deformation of the nail plate.It is very sophisticated and begins to move away from its place, it becomes grayish.The metabolism in the wound cells worsens, the furrows appear on the nail roller.In addition, inflammation, edema, redness on the adjacent epidermis is observed, the disappearance of the skin of nails is observed.
Muga bacteria can hurt the nail plate if there are already diseases that cause nail disorders for nails.In this case, there is also a cloud of the dish, a change in its color (with light yellow and greenish to brown and even black).
To discover the cause and pathogen of negative changes in the skin and nails, you need to contact a specialist.An independent determination of the disease and its treatment without consulting a doctor can be full of consequences.
Disease phase

The mycosis of the nails gradually affects healthy cells.The disease has several development phases, each of which has its specific manifestations.
The first stage of onychomycosis (normotorophitics) has no light manifestations.In most cases, it proceeds hidden.The first signs: the nail is faded a bit, its changes in color, microocack and yellow spots are formed in the form of circles or longitudes and tuberosity appears.A novice mushroom can be accompanied by itching and combustion.It is difficult to correctly recognize the infection in the initial phase, since the symptoms are similar to other diseases (psoriasis, liver pathology).
If the treatment does not start over time, the disease will go to the next phase - hypertrophic.The nail thickens, dark.There is a deformation of the plate, its corpulent and destruction.
The advanced form of nail diseases manifests itself from a strong thinning of the nail plate, which leads to its further refusal.The adjacent skin becomes blue, an unpleasant smell appears.
Symptoms
The onychomycosis most often affects the nails on the legs, the hands suffer less often.The disease begins with the thumb and little finger (the outer edge is touched), hitting all the plates without problems.
The main symptoms of onychomycosis will help determine the fungal infection:
- the appearance of strips and spots of a whitish or greenish tint under the nails;
- Ruviation of the dish, a change in its color (from yellow to dark brown);
- Redness and peeling of the skin around the nail;
- the appearance of Rugno on the feet and between the fingers;
- The formation of mold on the nails.
Types of nail fungal diseases
The onychomicosis is generally classified according to the appearance of the areas concerned.Since the classification function is the appearance of the mushroom on the nails, it differs in three species, depending on the clinical manifestations:
- Atrophic or onolistic - in which the nail plate is significantly affected, in the degree of refusal from the nail bed;
- The hypertrophic aspect, in which which has lost its natural shine, changes its color (whitening or, on the contrary, it is dark) and the structure (more tangible) with the appearance of various types of deformations and even destroys along the edges;
- NOTROFORE - A type characterized by the lowest degree of damage, in which the nail plate does not thicken, remaining brilliant and smooth, but is still externally transformed due to the appearance of spots, stripes and other changes visible in its transparency and natural color.

In foreign countries, there is another classification on the basis of which the fungus on the nails is divided in particular according to the specific place of the injury:
- total, in which the entire nail plate is covered by a pathogenic process;
- Distal: the form of damage, locating only on the free edge of the nail that protrudes over the tip of the finger;
- proximal, in which the edge of the plate emerges from under the nail roller is destroyed (opposite the free edge of the nail!);
- The side shape of damage, which affects the lateral sides of the nail plate.
What a pathology does
The diseases of the fungal nails among the population have external similarities with other dermatological diseases of NegriBica nature.Depending on the stage of the pathology, the nails begin to seem unhealthy because they lose natural shine and transparency.Smooth and even, they become thick and deformed and are covered with various colors (often white or dirty yellow).The soft tissues surrounding the keratin layer destroyed by a parasite are also involved in inflammatory reactions, swollen and ulceration.
If we consider the picture of the destruction of the nail plate in perspective of the dynamics of the disease, then it can be conditioned by three consecutive phases:
- In the first phase, there are practically no signs, except for the light, points or strips on the plate.
- On the so chatted stage pronounced, quickly replacing the initial one, all the symptoms of ounings become evident.
- The advanced phase is the final degeneration of the nail, it can be integrated by the appearance of an unpleasant smell of decomposition tissues.
The reasons for the deformation of the nail
Mugworm mushrooms, similar to yeasts and dermatophytic mushrooms cause infectious nail diseases (onychomycosis), manifested by similar symptoms.All types of nail mushrooms on the legs or arms deform the nail plate, change its transparency, shine, color.The changes in the nail are found not only with onychomycosis, but also for injuries, chronic parronichia (inflammation of the nail roller), psoriasis, hand eczema, dermatitis.Before drawing a conclusion on fungal infection, it is necessary to consider all possible options.
Symptoms of mushrooms
There are various classifications of the nail fungus, depending on the type and event, they can have completely different signs and symptoms, so it is very important to determine it (psoriasis, eczema, stray and dermatophytes).The superficial onychomycosis on the fingers manifests itself almost immediately after the infection, considers the symptoms and signs of the mushroom on the nails of the legs and arms:
- Thickened plate;
- Fragile nails, crumbly or torn not only close to the edge, but also throughout the surface;
- Distorted shapes, squamous structure;
- The initial phase is the loss of brilliance and elasticity;
- If the nail is blackened (not at the expense in the event that a person works regularly with compositions of coloring or mechanical parts);
- The nails crash under the skin;
- The scoring begins, perhaps a general decline of immunity, strength, sleepiness;
- The itching between the fingers and on the foot is particularly pronounced in the child;
- The examination from the nail bed is a very common phenomenon and almost the last stadium before the complete loss of the nail, which is called Onolisia.You can try pain in the fingers and find a slightly unpleasant smell;
- The skin becomes dry, cracks, a rash appears, perhaps also the appearance of the blood or a soucon;
- A white or yellow mold circle under the nail, depending on the variety of the mushroom, can be bright, opaque, with borders outlined and a muddy structure.

Before starting the active actions, it is necessary to minimize the negative impact of the external environment, to eliminateThe reasons why the mushroom appearedUnder the nails on the legs:
- A warm and humid environment is ideal for the growth of various microorganisms, trying to dry shoes all the time after walking, wearing socks only from natural materials that provide a normal exchange of heat and air;
- The foot mushroom often appears because of poor immunity, you can simply trample the floor with the naked foot and collect the infection, take vitamins to avoid it;
- The extension of frequent nails can become one of the causes of onychomycosis, limit the procedure up to 1 session in six months;
- The most complicated is the nice: this is a mushroom caused by active disputes.They penetrate the cavities between nails and fingers, can be in a phase of sleep for some time and therefore grow abruptly.Very often they are infected in places of public use (swimming pools, showers, solarium), during the functioning of other people's shoes, etc.
Common types of mycosis of the stop
There are many ways to obtain an infection with a legs of the legs, but it is possible only with direct contact with the pathogen.Very often, this happens during the use of the shoes of others or in violation of the rules of personal hygiene.The skin mushroom on the legs usually manifests itself through the destruction of the dermis, which is reflected in the form of peeling.The lesions of the epidermis in this case are caused by the fact that the infection penetrates the deep layers of the skin, destroying its structure.
Modern medicine identifies the following options for fungal damage to the feet, each of which differs in its symptoms and treatment options:
- Mycosis Intodallica is the most common form in whose form the disease occurs.The symptom is generally located between 3 and 4 fingers, less often between 4 and 5, it looks like a crack covered with a white film.It is possible to secrete a certain amount of fluid, peeling of the borders, as well as the appearance of signs of rash.The signs of interdigital mushrooms of the legs can be accompanied by weak itching.Such a mushroom on the fingers of the legs can initially occur completely without symptoms, but in the future there is a significant change in the structure of the skin.
- The squamous hyperkeratic mushroom can be distinguished from other species from serious peeling and keratinization that influence the epidermis.It is characteristic of people who suffer from various types of dermatitis, mainly atopic.This is another type of disease that can clearly be seen what they are on the mushrooms on the legs.The main symptom of the disease is the appearance of an erythema, a painful pink lump, on an affected area that has clear boundaries.It is accompanied by weak itching, cracks on the feet, dryness, pain, yellow and damage to the nail plates.The onychomycosis, usually that accompanies this type of mushroom, leads to the stratification of the nails;
- The vesicular mushroom is one of the rarest types of infection, which affects the skin of the legs.The disorder received its name for the formation of vesicles - bubbles with liquid content, in the place where erosion is therefore formed, which is dangerous for infection.The main signs that bishop fungal differs: the appearance of blisters with a diameter of up to 1 centimeter, as well as weak itch;
- Mushroom canceled.In the initial phase, there is a slight peeling on the feet of the legs, as well as the appearance of small cracks, which externally affect only the upper layer of the epidermis.
- The mushroom is Dyshidrotic, whose infection is found in medical practice only in 8% of patients infected with mycosis.It is mainly located on the only and the vault of the foot, manifests itself in the form of bubbles, gradually merges into one, after which its gap follows from the formation of an extended erosion.The danger of a mushroom of this type is the possibility of connecting a bacterial infection, since pathogenic microorganisms penetrate easily through the resulting wound;
- Intermediate mycosis occurs not only independently, but also as an accompaniment of a scamous shape of the legs of the legs.It manifests itself between the fingers of the feet, characterized by serious itching and burning, rash and the appearance of erosion;
- Onychomicosis is another common option of damage, which is a nail fungus on the legs.Usually it develops from the free edge of the nail plate, the initial stage is characterized by the appearance of yellow spots, after which the disease progresses with relaxation and complete leave of the nail.Often accompanies other forms of fungal lesions;
- The candidate mushroom, also called the erosion of the yeast, which is located in the interdigital space.In this case, the mushroom on the legs resembles the concentration of inflamed swelling areas of the skin, which can be surrounded by small shapes.
