Onychomycosis
Onychomycosis (also known as dermatophytic onychomycosis or '' tinea unguium ''〔) is a fungal infection of the nail. It is the most common disease of the nails and constitutes about half of all nail abnormalities.
This condition may affect toenails or fingernails, but toenail infections are particularly common. It occurs in about 10 percent of the adult population.
==Signs and symptoms==
The most common symptom of a fungal nail infection is the nail becoming thickened and discoloured: white, black, yellow or green. As the infection progresses the nail can become brittle, with pieces breaking off or coming away from the toe or finger completely. If left untreated, the skin can become inflamed and painful underneath and around the nail. There may also be white or yellow patches on the nailbed or scaly skin next to the nail,〔(NHS Choices: Symptoms of fungal nail infection )〕 and a foul smell.〔(Mayo clinic: Nail fungus )〕 There is usually no pain or other bodily symptoms, unless the disease is severe. People with onychomycosis may experience significant psychosocial problems due to the appearance of the nail, particularly when fingers – which are always visible – rather than toenails are affected.
Dermatophytids are fungus-free skin lesions that sometimes form as a result of a fungus infection in another part of the body. This could take the form of a rash or itch in an area of the body that is not infected with the fungus. Dermatophytids can be thought of as an allergic reaction to the fungus.
