Symptoms of nail fungus

Redness in the interdigital area, the gradual appearance of peel;
The appearance of itching, at first, is barely visible, but which becomes stronger as the disease is progressive;
Sometimes fluid bubbles occur on the skin;
In later stages - the appearance of painful cracks;
Nail deformation. There may be a different nature depending on the type of fungus. So distinguish:
Hypertrophic deformation type. An increase in nail thickness, but at the same time an increase in the fragility of the plate. With physical exposure, the nail hurts and crumbles.
Noroprik type of deformation. The thickness of the nail does not change, but it also gains a pronounced shiny color, and the horizontal yellow stripes also appear.
The atrophic type of deformation. The nail plate becomes thin and dull. Inks and strips of a white shade appear on the nail, in the future they grow and join.
