Onychomicoses belong to a group of human infectious diseases that cause pathogenic mushrooms, respectively - these are infectious diseases transmitted from man to man. However, far from always fungi can cause a disease. The fact is that the susceptibility to fungal flora in humans and the development of the disease depends not only on the properties of the fungus, but also from the state of the body of an infected person.

The nail fungus affects predominantly adults and is rare enough in children, this is due to age-related changes in the skin, thickness and structures of the horn layer of the epidermis, the weakening of immune protection and skin resistance on the background of disease developing with age. Infected with fungus, which leads to the defeat of the nails of the feet, can be in public places: beaches, baths, saunas, pools, especially if you do not use personal flip flops.
