The disease represents pathological changes in the stratum corneum of the nail and surrounding tissues associated with disruption of its functioning. Occurs as a result of inflammatory damage to the nail bed or distal matrix of the nail plate. Onychia fungiform longitudinal is one of the most common forms of localization. Due to the peculiarities of the manifestation of the pathology, diagnosing it at home is usually not difficult. At the same time, the symptoms and treatment of onychia and fungus are radically different from each other, so it is very important to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe suitable therapy.

Symptoms of onychia fungiform longitudinal The manifestation of this type of onychia can be confused with a fungal infection. However, visual assessment of the nail plate as a disease is likely to raise doubts. The cornea has a characteristic gray tint with a yellow tint. The surface of the nail takes on the appearance of pimples with clear borders in the shape of a diamond. The edges of the affected area are thickened and may have a whitish coating. There is no delamination of the plates, characteristic of fungal infections. Bursting areas are quite rare, with the edges becoming club-shaped. The boundaries of the changes do not depend on the affected nail surface. The plate of any localization can change - distal, middle third or tip. Although the disease does not always cause discomfort when moving the plate, it does cause aesthetic and practical discomfort. The appearance of the plate causes unpleasant sensations and can also lead to moral discomfort (lowered self-esteem). In view of the above, patients are looking for any information on how to treat onychia nail fungus at the tip when there are noticeable and pronounced symptoms.
