The nail fungus is called onychomycosis.It is caused by microorganisms, such as Candido-Bacteria, as well as pathogenic fungi, tricofons, microsporum etc.In the ranking of antifungal drugs, the main positions occupy varnishes, as the most convenient in use.In fact, effective fungus products are in every niche of dosage forms.The key to recovery is a regular and correct use of the selected medicine.
Briefly about onicomycosis
Nail fungus can occur at any age.There is an increased risk for children and the elderly.The disease does not mean that a person is sloppy, because Mikoz can be "grabbed" anywhere:
- in the pool;
- bath or sauna;
- on the beach;
- of the soil;
- in the store (when experimenting);
- at home (if the infection "brought" another family member);
- In the manicure office.
Nail plaques ringworm (nails) is more likely to suffer from people with impaired immunity, feet sweat, feet dermatomycosis or other body parts.
The fungus manifests as follows: nail growth decreases, colored (storm, yellow, white, greenish) inclusions or spots appear on its surface, the shape of nail plate exchanges.All the first symptoms do not attract attention.If the patient rarely pays attention to the nails, he may simply not notice them.Fungus progress is a thickening of horn plates, a complete change in its color.Most of the time, the nails become thick yellow gray, collapse with a haircut.In this case, the changes are pronounced, attract attention.However, the described state of the nail indicates the "prescription" of the fungus.The infection has already deeply penetrated the nail plate and possibly on its base.
The self -medication of onychomycosis is a bad idea.Symptoms should be evaluated by a dermatologist.The doctor prescribes an analysis - a microscopic examination of a part of the nail.Thanks to him, the nature of the pathogen will be known, the treatment will be selected.The use of specific medications against a specific fungus increases the chances of quick and complete healing.Independent therapy is full of periodic improvement in the state of the plates, followed by deterioration - relapse.The patient may be treated for years and not achieve recovery.An appeal to a doctor in the first symptoms of the disease practically ensures success.
Nail fungus therapy is difficult to remember patients to the doctor.The nail plate is dense, the deeper “the fungus will be, the harder it is to expel it from there. The preparations for the house in this matter will not help - there are no herbs and products that can penetrate leather and kill the use of fungus, which are not reported through fungus. All the results achieved of therapy.
To heal the nail fungus on your legs, you should choose the right drug.If there is no way to consult an expert, you can buy a wide range of stocks.The drug should be used regularly according to the instructions, while the damaged nail is completely replaced by healthy - it will grow.
Preparation is important
The task of any antifungal drugs is to enter the depths of horn as deep as possible.Fulgicide concentrations (killing fungi) must be in all layers and parts of the nail.It is extremely difficult to achieve this with thickened nails.To make the medicine work - it needs to help.
Prior to the first use of an antifungal medicine, it is necessary to remove all affected part of the nail as fully as possible.To do this, prepare a salt and soda bath.Soda and soda are created in hot water.Add one tablespoon of bulk components for each liter of water.After dissolving the substances, immerse yourself in the solution of the foot for 15 to 20 minutes.The bath helps soften the dense scales.
After cleaning their legs, they begin to remove their nails.They should be cut as short as possible.They cut the entire free edge.If the nail is partially lying from the box, this free area will also be cut.The "bag" under the plate will be a place of constant accumulation of keratinized cells and an excellent nutrient medium for the fungus.
The thickening area is cut with a regular file until it becomes thin and smooth.The medicine will penetrate the thin nail quickly and completely.
If the plates are excessively thickened (this occurs with advanced forms of onychomycosis), a special medicine should be used to remove them.
The kit includes an ointment, a set of splashes of various sizes and a device to tighten the medicine from a tube.The ointment is applied to nails prepared with a dense layer.Cover with a patch over.It is important to correct it qualitatively.If the patch is removed, the ointment will be erased and there will be no effect.
After one day, the dressing is removed.The legs are immersed in warm water for 10 minutes.After rubbing, they start removing the plate.The damaged part of the nail is clean of the kit until it is easy to go.So again, a dressing is applied for a day.
Manipulation is repeated while the nail becomes as dense and smooth as possible.After that, you can continue treatment with any antifungal nail medicine.
