| tinea unguium | The most common fungus infection of the nails (onychomycosis). Onychomycosis makes the nails look white and opaque, thickened, and brittle. Older women (perhaps because oestrogen deficiency may increase the risk of infection). And men and women with diabetes or disease of the small blood vessels (peripheral vacscular disease) are at increased risk. Artificial nails (acrylic or wraps ) increase the risk because when an artificial nail is applied, the nail surface is usually abraded with an emery board damaging it, emery boards can carry infection, and. Water can collect under the nail creating a moist, warm environment for fungal growth. Alternative names include ringworm of the nails and dermatophytic onychomycosis. (17 Dec 1998) |
| tinea versicolor | A common chronic, noninflammatory and usually symptomless disorder, characterised by the occurrence of multiple macular patches of all sizes and shapes, and varying in pigmentation from fawn-coloured to brown. It is seen most frequently in hot, humid, tropical regions, and is caused by pityrosporon orbiculare. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tinea versicolour | A fungal infection of the sun exposed (sun fungus) areas of the skin that results in patchy areas of depigmentation. (27 Sep 1997) |
