Trichophytia Nogtei

Nail trichophytosis is a fungal infection of the nails caused by the Trichophyton fungus. This is one of the most common forms of onychomycosis (fungal nail infection).

With trichophytosis, the nails thicken, become brittle and brittle, and change color (usually turning yellow or green). White or yellowish spots and stripes may appear on the nail plate. Sometimes there is separation of the nail from the nail bed. The fingernails are most often affected, and less often the toenails.

Infection occurs through direct contact with a sick person or through shared objects (towels, combs, etc.). Trichophytosis is also transmitted through domestic animals, mainly cats and dogs. The fungus penetrates through microcracks in the nail or periungual tissue.

For diagnosis, microscopy of nail scrapings and culture on nutrient media are performed. Treatment includes topical and oral antifungal medications. It is important to maintain good hygiene and check your nails regularly to prevent the spread of infection. In advanced forms, surgical removal of the affected part of the nail may be required.

Nail trichophytosis is a fungal nail disease that can be caused by various types of fungi of the genus Trichophyton. This disease can affect both the nail plate and the skin around it. The causative agent of the disease is transmitted from person to person through contact with a contaminated surface or through objects, for example, shoes, slippers, manicure tools, etc.

The first symptoms of nail trichophytosis are changes in the color and shape of the nails. Nails become brittle, dull and may take on a concave shape. If the disease is not treated, it can spread to nearby areas of the skin and cause itching, burning and pain.
