Epidermophitia - fungic disease of a skin. Distinguish an inguinal epidermophitia and an epidermophitia a foot.

Inguinal epidermophitia. The originator - Epidermo-phyton floccosum amazes a cornual layer. A source - the sick person. It is transferred usually through subjects of leaving: bed-pans, basts, sponges, oilcloths, etc. Contributing factors - a heat and the raised humidity of an environment; a hyperhidrosis. Intrahospital endemias are possible. It is observed mainly at men. Usual localization - large cords, especially inguinofemoral and between cluneal; the lesion of other sites of a skin and fingernails stop is possible. Inflammatory maculae spherical outlines, red-brown color are symmetrized, as a rule, precisely differentiated from a surrounding skin by the hydropic platen covered by fine blisters, pustules, crusts and flakes. As a result of peripheric body height of maculae can merge with each other, forming the extensive centers of outlines. Current chronic. Subjectively - an itch, a burning sensation, morbidity, especially at walking.

Epidermophitia a foot. The originator - Tr. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale; settles down in cornual and granular layers of a false skin, getting sometimes up to styliform, possesses sharply expressed allergenic properties. Amazes a skin and fingernails only with a foot, it is usual at adults; it is quite often accompanied by allergic rashes. The erased (initial) form differs fine cracks on a skin of interdigital cords a foot and a poor ecdysis. The squamous form is characterized by a lamellar ecdysis on soles and interdigital cords, sometimes on a background of a hyperemia; appreciable stratifications of densely sitting flakes can remind callosities. Sometimes, more often in the summer, the epidermophitia proceeds was unusually acutely. On a hydropic skin the foot arise large bubbles and pustules; lymphangites and lymphadenites join; the general disturbances are possible. Current chronic with exacerbations usually in a warm season, especially at walking in the closed footwear both synthetic stockings and socks.
