Onychia diabetic

**Onychia diabetic** is a disease in which the lesion covers the nail plates of the hands and feet. It is often diagnosed in the presence of diabetes mellitus, but can also occur without endocrine disorders. The disease is characterized by symmetrical damage to the nails on all fingers of both limbs or only on the hands. Onychomycosis begins with a change in the appearance of the nail plate, it becomes cloudy, thins at the base and breaks. Then it is completely destroyed, where a new nail grows, usually of a smaller size.**

Causes of the disease

The disease develops due to a fungal infection that is transmitted between people through contact without clothing, household items, or from other animals to humans. When the immune system is weakened, the fungus can become chronic, and curing it will be problematic.

In addition to a large number of different reasons for the development of onychomycosis, the following factors can cause it:

* Constant stress; * Heredity; * Reduced protective functions of the body; * Frequent ultraviolet irradiation; * Living in regions with a dry climate; * The appearance of drying out of the periungual ridges; * Poor immunity.

Any of these diseases requires a comprehensive diagnosis, and treatment should be both internal and external based on the test results.
