What harm does onychomycosis do to people? The harm cannot be ignored

Many people have suffered from onychomycosis. The symptoms of this disease are very complicated and everyone should pay attention to it. Onychomycosis can also be contagious. If it is not treated in time, it will cause great harm. It will not only affect the appearance but also become a source of infection and cause some other diseases, such as vaginitis.

1. Becoming a source of infection

The fungus inside onychomycosis is an invisible source of infection that often spreads pathogenic fungi to the outside world. Onychomycosis can spread the fungus to other parts of the body due to scratching, causing new ringworm; it can also cause ringworm in family members and others. Modern medical research has confirmed that lesbians suffering from onychomycosis may be infected to the genitals, causing difficult-to-cure gynecological diseases such as candidal vaginitis and candidal vaginitis. Onychomycosis bacteria can also invade the deep tissues of the human body, causing infection of deep tissues and organs, and even endangering life.

Second, there are many complications

Severe symptoms of onychomycosis can cause pain and discomfort. Moreover, the muscles inside the affected nail are exposed or constrained by the thickened nail. Once they are injured, bacteria can easily spread and cause complications such as paronychia, onychomycosis, and pyoderma of the fingers. The patient may develop erysipelas or cellulitis and other diseases with severe systemic manifestations.

3. Impact on daily life

Nails have great physiological significance to us. Human activities such as threading a needle, writing, cooking, typing, weaving, and playing music all require the help of nails. Once you suffer from onychomycosis, this kind of work will be disrupted. Nails grow at the ends of hands and feet to protect them. Once they become diseased, the hands and feet will easily be injured by bumps. Besides, scratching an itch is very troublesome without nails. And foot fungus is definitely not good for walking and running, and it also adds awkwardness and trouble to wearing shoes and socks.

4. Affect the appearance

As the saying goes, "Hands are a person's second face." The beauty of hands directly affects a person's temperament. The beauty of hands lies largely in the nails. Having onychomycosis on the hands does indeed affect one's beauty. Patients may even feel reluctant and embarrassed to shake hands with others, not to mention other closer and more intimate actions.
