How to treat nail fungus

The fungal infection of the legs, the second name is onychomycosis, is considered a fairly common disease.

Although it is very difficult to infect the disease, it is quite difficult to get rid of it due to frequent relapses.Therefore, after several unsuccessful treatment attempts, the question arises as to how to treat the nail fungus to forget forever.

Practice shows that complex therapy has a good effect, which includes both medicines and treatment with folk remedies at home.

How is fungal infection spreading

All fungal diseases are based on infectious nature caused by pathogens.Areas that are favorable to them are usually skin and nail plates.In most cases, the infection occurs in contact.

Infection of a healthy person with onthychimicosis occurs when we ignore simple personal hygiene rules:

1. presence in public places (pelvis, gym, beach) without shoes;
2. Joint use with onichimicosis piperecs, towels, shoes and things;
3. Nail processing with manicure accessories without prior sterilization.

Increased humidity is a favorable conditions for further growth of pathogenic microorganisms.It can be like a wet environment in the bath, the pool and the beach, so you can increase the sweating of the legs, wearing stockings, socks and crowded shoes.

We found the alarm!

The fungus-parasitic fungus, which is settled on the nail plate, can easily cause a lot of mourning and problems.Despite the infection of tissues, not so fast, the gradual change in the shape of the nail leads to a loss of normal appearance and, in some cases, causes pain.

In the presence of the following signs, it is extremely important to obtain a special consultation:

• The nail begins to lose natural glow and changes the color.After the exposure of the fungus, it can become muddy-white, yellowish or gray;
• The nail loses its natural shape and begins to thicken, break or peel;
• formation of axis hiperkeratosis (accumulation of keratinized nail mass under the plate);
• inflammation of the nail hole;
• An unpleasant scent.

We are united with the doctor

Once you have noticed the first signs of fungal infection, seek medical attention immediately and do not hope for a miracle.The disease itself does not disappear and it can affect healthy areas during tightening, cause an allergic reaction and reduce body immune function.In addition, the transition of the disease into a chronic form is very difficult to treat and causes frequent relapses.

We recommend that you get advice from a tracker specializing in such diseases.Not only does the doctor take control, it also takes diagnostic measures.During the test, the thickness and structure of the nail plate is determined, and the tissue scratching is performed for further analysis, which determines the type of fungus and prescribes the necessary treatment.

It is not recommended that you buy medications independently and use without a medical prescription, as some of them are not effective at all types of fungal infection.And the lost time only exacerbates the course of the disease.

You can try to use folk medicines at home.But I would like to say immediately that greater effect can only be achieved in combination with medical medicines.

External treatment

Local therapy for the treatment of occhimicosis is considered less effective in the middle and late stages, as the maximum effect of active substances is only on the surface of the nail plate.But under and inside the nails, as well as in the box and matrix, these drugs do not penetrate, so it is not possible to overcome pathogens of the infection.

Local treatment at home will only be effective if:

1. The disease is in the initial stage:
2. The fungus collided with less than half of the nail plate;
3. Small Al -Gear hyperkeratosis;
4. Up to 2 nails on the foot.

Prior to processing with antifungal compounds, partial removal of the affected nail horn is prescribed.Various drops, ointments and varnishes can be used for treatment.

A medicine for treatment

If external drugs had no necessary effect and fungal infection progresses, the doctor will prescribe systemic therapy, which includes the appointment of stronger products.

The system's antifungal drugs are prescribed in the following cases:

• The disease is in late stages;
• Affects most of the nail plate;
• a strong form of hyperkeratosis or onicholysis;
• Diabetes mellitus;
• The patient is over 50 years old.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy received good opinions.This is one of the few treatment methods that provide guaranteed results.

Laser processing is absolutely painless and therefore does not require anesthetic drugs.Its benefits include the lack of side effects, which is present when the tablet is used.

The nail plate is processed by penetrating the laser infrared spectrum.Before the procedure, the patient steams his leg in the soda bath for 20 minutes, cleaning the affected area well on the nail.The course of laser treatment comes from 6-10 procedures.

The disadvantage of therapy is the lack of immediate results.This is only 2-3 months later.

The effect of the post -laser treatment effect is available when the drugs are combined or replaced with folk remedies at home.

The cost of treating laser therapy depends on the area of damage to the nail plate.

Treatment of traditional medical recipes

As a complementary therapy at home, you can also use traditional drug recipes that provide excellent results in the treatment of fungal infection.It should be noted that some do not eliminate it, but only suspend the development of pathogens.Therefore, it is recommended to use these treatment methods until the visible properties disappear completely.

Apple vinegar treatment

One of the effective ways to get rid of your home fungus is Apple vinegar.After processed the surface of the nail with special compounds based on vinegar, the tissues develop an acidic medium, which does not allow the development of the favorable conditions for the formation of fungal microorganisms.

You can use several proven recipes for preparation:

1. Baths by adding vinegar.For 3 liters of water, approximately one liter of apple vinegar is required and a small potassium permanganate will be required to achieve the light pink composition.To perform water procedures, the solution must be pleasantly warm.Vinegar baths are performed for 7 days for 10-15 minutes, then take a short break and repeat the course.
2. Ointment with vinegar.In this case, prepared components of eucalyptus oil (30 g), honey (10 g), apple vinegar (1 teaspoon) should be prepared thoroughly mixed with each other.In order not to lose the healing properties of the resulting ointment, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator.

Soda treatment

In addition, the soda paste contains positive reviews.For preparation, only three ingredients will be required: soda, water and citric acid.The required amount of soda is thoroughly mixed with a small amount of water until a paste mixture forms.The resulting mass is applied to a prepared nail, then drip a few drops of lemon juice and wait for a chemical reaction.It manifests itself in the form of a small hiss and a little grip.After 10 minutes, the paste can be washed and the legs are rinsed with warm water and wiped dry dryly.

Folk medicines

Treatment of onychomycosis with folk remedies gives positive results when using the following recipes:

• Daily treatment with a 20% alcoholic solution of propolis affected nail;
• Make a ball from the fresh onion and apply the nail to the patient daily;
• Coat the injured nail plate 2-3 times a week with Celandine Juice.Treatment is about 3 months;
• The sore nails drop 1 drop of a 5% iodine solution.The treatment lasts within 20-30 days.Don't be afraid of the appearance of itching and burning.This fact indicates the efficiency of exposure.

It requires a lot of time and effort to get rid of fungal infection.Do not wait for immediate results.Armed with patience, follow the instructions.And then you will see the result at a certain point: the damaged area gradually began to leave and the place was taken over by a healthy pink nail.
