What symptom is onychomycosis?
Everyone has heard a slogan, right? With onychomycosis, one can infect two. So now the disease of onychomycosis has begun to be taken seriously by many people, but many people can't understand some symptoms of onychomycosis. Let me talk about the symptoms of onychomycosis.

1. First, the deck becomes turbid and opaque, and the deck becomes thicker, which can be more than 1 ~ 3 times that of the normal deck. The surface of the deck is rough, uneven and dull. In severe cases, there may be grooves, cracks, bulges and irregular spots on the deck, which are insect-bitten, and the nails are weak in elasticity and easy to break. The damaged fragments on the deck can be dirty gray, brown, white, yellow, black, etc.

2. Second, onychomycosis can be divided into two types according to the different parts of fungal invasion. Tinea onychomycosis: Fungi invade from the side edge or front edge of the nail, and develop backward along the deck, forming loose keratin debris, which accumulates under the nail, making the nail thick, uneven and upturned, separating the deck from the nail bed, and the front edge of the nail is not moth-eaten, and the deck is completely destroyed for a long time.

3. Third, superficial white onychomycosis: Fungi invade from the nail surface, forming white turbid spots that are not plastic, which often lead to deformation, thickening and brittleness of the deck for a long time. The number of nails affected varies, ranging from 1 ~ 2 to most or all fingers (toes) in severe cases. Generally, there are no conscious symptoms: the course of disease is slow, and if it is not treated, it will not heal for many years.

Matters needing attention

The symptoms of onychomycosis are obvious. The easiest way to identify onychomycosis is that the nails gradually turn black. Of course, it can be treated directly. There are many remedies to try now, but the use of remedies is risky, so it is recommended to use them with caution.
