In more detail, we will consider the main factors of phenomena, type and method of treatment of fungi at home.

Classification

Causal agents of this disease are saprophytes, mold of fungi, candidate and other pathogens microorganisms.

Main types of pathogenic disease:

1. Epiderrnophyton floccosum.Anthropophilic fungus, which affects the trigger layer of the epidermis.After the infection on the skin, pink peeling stains with characteristic vague edges are beginning to appear.Transferred with tactile contact or through household items.
2. Trichophyton Rubrum and Trichophyton mentagraphy.These are two mushrooms in the shape of yeast from the genus of Trihofiton.They have a toxic effect, they are able to stay in a long sleep, and after exposure to negative activation factors.The first signs of the disease are itchy between the fingers and an unpleasant odor, a rash and peeling will appear.Integrity color can remain unchanged.

MyColoses differ four varieties of mycosis, which can be caused by different feet fittings:

1. Deleted shape is the easiest.It is characterized by an insignificant itching between the fingers and light leather peeling.The reason is Saprofit Candida.His incubation period is 2 weeks.Most often patients simply do not notice signs of infections and distributors are fungi.Even in the absence of treatment, the disease passes itself.
2. Chunator -hyperkeratotic.The advanced form of this feet for feet can cause the look of deep cracks and damage to your leg tissue to the ankle.It is important that there are no external events in the initial phase of the disease.The unit does not itch or pain, small cracks occasionally appear;
3. Intiginous or Interpassum - most common.The primary lesion is most often begun with the folding of the thumb and forefinger, and then spreads on foot.Possible causes of appearance are contact with infected person (surface), injuries and non-contributions with personal hygienic rules;
4. Dyshidrotic or vesicular form - micosa, which causes the appearance to the epidermis of rashes and local erosions.It is transmitted exclusively from the patient and is extremely rarely diagnosed on the skin of the leg.This fungus is believed to love brushes and palm trees more.In the absence of proper treatment due to the effects of pathogenic microorganisms, mycotic eczema appears.

Over time, fungal lesions progresses, although this happens extremely slowly.Sometimes people live with mushrooms for decades and begin to worry only when the nail is completely leaves, a painful sensation appear.There are several phases in total.

1. Home Phase.A fungal infection has just begun to destroy a nail, its color changes, transparency disappears.
2. The appearance of hypercheralatosis.This phenomenon, when with micosome, the nail begins to thicken, becomes very thick, sometimes grows strongly.Towards the end of this phase nail panel becomes loose, sometimes and its upper layers can simply scrub the finger.
3. In the next phase, a fungal infection moves under the nail.Cuticle is separated from nail plate, nail roller can crush, crash and become lit.
4. Running race.The nail is atrophic, completely changing color.At this stage, the nail plate often goes completely or destroys.

It is recommended to doubt the nail fungal in the initial phases, in advanced form it is difficult and long-treated, sometimes it is necessary to completely remove nail plate.Don't run mycos.
