Treatment of the nail fungus on the thumb of the leg at home

The nail fungus, or onychomicosis, is a common disease.The infection is unable to cause serious damage to health, but significantly reduces the quality of life and causes discomfort.The cause of the infection is direct contact with the vector of the disease or its things.The damage to the nail plate is the result of the propagation of pathogenic disputes in the adjacent areas of the skin.Therefore, the mushroom occurs first of all along the edge and therefore spreads on the entire surface of the nail.

Onichomicosis can be infected when visiting public places, such as a sauna, a swimming pool or a bathroom.In conditions of a humid environment, the infection is not only preserved, but also multiplies actively.The treatment of the nail fungus on the thumb of the leg is a long process, since the disease is difficult to refer to the therapeutic.

Symptoms of the disease

In the initial phase of development, the mushroom does not show itself.Initially, the infection can only be detected by the condition of the skin between the fingers and around the nail plate.

When greater dryness, cracks, rashes and wounds appear, the therapy should start, since in the absence of treatment the infection gradually passes to the nail.

In the future, the pathology occurs from the following symptoms (they may vary slightly depending on the type of pathogen):

1. The nail plate gradually changes its color in yellow, green, gray or black.
2. The nail loses its transparency and becomes boring.
3. The surface acquires a characteristic roughness, which can be recognized not only by the touch, but also during the visual examination.
4. The nail plate starts to turn to the edges, then the injury area increases.
5. There are many coffins on the skin around.
6. Significantly reduce the growth of the nail.
7. It is itching, pain and a feeling of discomfort when walking with closed shoes.

In some cases, onychomycosis is accompanied by an unpleasant smell.

The damage to the nail with a mushroom occurs gradually, so the disease has some development phases, each of which is characterized by some characteristics.

1. The initial phase.Small points of light or yellow appear on the surface of the nail, which do not particularly attract attention.Subsequently, they increase in size and grow in points or stripes.At this stage, getting rid of the infection is simpler.

2. Progressive or intensive.The nail plate not only changes color, but also its structure.Reading spots grow significantly and the nail begins to spread, partially breaks, thickens.The company appears, which creates the impression of mechanical damage.
3. Advanced form.At this stage, irreversible changes occur in which the nail completely loses its healthy appearance and exfoliating from its bed.Pain appears.
