The first symptoms of onychomycosis

The initial symptoms of onychomycosis are usually nail discoloration, thickening, lifting, etc.

1. Nail discoloration

The nail will gradually lose its original transparency and luster, and may appear gray, yellow or even brown. This is due to abnormal pigmentation caused by fungal invasion of the nail.

2. Thickened

nails will gradually thicken and become harder and rougher. This is the result of fungi breeding and growing in the nail, destroying the normal structure of the nail.

3. Tilted

nails may tilt from the nail bed and separate from the nail bed. This will make the nail easy to break and break, affecting the normal function of the hand or foot. The

initial symptoms of onychomycosis may not be obvious and are easily overlooked. However, if it is not treated in time, the disease may gradually worsen and even spread to other nails or others. Therefore, once abnormal changes in nails are found, they should be promptly diagnosed and effectively treated. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping nails clean and dry. Avoid sharing shoes and socks with infected people to prevent the occurrence of onychomycosis.
