Fungus is not a harmless disease.It not only damages the appearance of the foot, but also weakens human health, rejecting its immune system.Usually two stages of nail fungus are distinguished.At first it was easy not to see it.Signs -The first problem of the problem is usually:
- Small white dots on the nails;
- changes in the form of nails;
- the appearance of white stripes;
- nail polish;
- Changing the surface, it can be stiff and ribs.
The skin around the affected nails is often red and skin.In the future, the color of the nail plate changes, it becomes rough and thick, the nails start to collapse.Gradually, fungus can spread to neighbor's nails.According to statistics, 15% of the population suffers from fungal or carriers.Often, infections with nail fungus occur where a person is washed, but it is impossible to exclude delivery through household goods: slippers, socks, shoes, "said a dermatologist. Feet, due to the metabolic process in their body flow quickly, but parents are very risky.
Nail fungal treatment
Nail fungal treatment is involved in dermatologists.In the early stages of the disease, there may be sufficient external treatment, but if it is not answered now and mushrooms grow on a nail plate bed, a more serious therapy is required.In this case, the process of treating nail fungus will take 3-6 months and will be included with the use of special products.The medication to be prescribed, a dermatologist will determine based on the test.Problems with nails on the feet can cause different types of fungus and approaches to treatment will vary depending on the pathogen.It is determined using a cultural method, or sowing.
Effective medicine and ointment
Advertising convinces us that you can cure nail fungus with varnish and ointment, but doctors do not guarantee success from the medication.First, they can help in the early stages, and second, provided you see effective ointment against your pathogen.To treat nail fungus in the feet at a further level, system remedies will be needed.Before applying creams and ointments to fungus, I advise you to conduct hygiene cleaning.Make a bath for the foot from the soda solution: 1 teaspoon per 3 cups of water.The temperature should be comfortable, but not exceeding 36 ° C. You need to steam-25-30 minutes.Then it is true to wipe and dry the skin and nails.Before applying the cream, use a spindle patch, create a "frame" around the affected nail.It is necessary for the product to fall right on a very coarse nail plate layer, and not on the delicate skin where irritation will appear, "explained the dermatologist, the highest category doctor.
The recovery of the people
Folk medicine can help in the treatment of nail fungus, but provided that your dermatologist approves it.Otherwise, there is a risk of launching the disease and, in the worst case, losing your nails.Usually, folk medicine is prescribed in conjunction with medical medicine.In my practice, nail fungal treatment using propolis is quite successful.Patients have been prescribed systemic substances that suppress important microscopic fungus and alcohol 15 percent of propolis tincture for external use.It has a good effect on immunity and the action of substance that suppresses important microscopic fungus activities.After three months of treatment, the skin has been fully restored, "said a dermatologist, but an initial conversation with a doctor is needed, as the same tool can help one, and others can cause dermatitis.
What to do if the fungus does not pass?
It occurs that several months of fungal treatment does not give any effects: the disease remains, and healthy nails grow too slowly.Then, first of all, the specialist would recommend converting the drug to the antimicrobial of other groups and writing medications that stimulate the growth of the nail plate.If external therapy, or systemic, or medication changes help, this is a serious reason for hospitalization.In rare cases, when bacterial infections are observed, the operation to remove the nail plate can be indicated.
Prevention of nail fungus at home
Prevention of nail fungus on the feet is primarily reduced to personal hygiene.If the feet do not wash for a long time, let them sweat, the risk of developing fungus will increase significantly.Often, the disease is invited in public baths: baths, sauna, fitness center shower.Experts advise to drink and apply slippers in the area and apply a barrier cream.The penetration of fungus into the skin is facilitated by the lecet, cracks in the legs, and also does not dry the legs carefully after the water procedure, so you need to carefully monitor the condition of the foot.If you have found your nail fungus and beat it, the risk of relapse is permanent.Some other rules will help reduce it:
- Wipe the skin once every two to three weeks in a manner containing antifungal drugs, salicylic alcohol, or founded with vinegar or lemon juice;
- Eradicate clothes, beds, they can be boiled or set with hot iron;
- less often wearing synthetic clothing;
- More often change personal hygiene items, for example, wipes and sponge.
