Many people ignore the change of standing nails, underestimating a possible danger.The onychomicosis (the scientific name for the nail fungus) is not a cosmetic defect, but a medical problem.Constant exposure to the toxins that the mushroom produces, leads to chronic body poisoning.Consequently: increase in fatigue, weakness, disorders in the work of immunity.Not to mention the fact that the nails affected by the mushroom do not seem aesthetically aesthetically pleasant and are disgusted by others.
What is the onychomicosis dangerous?
The itching, the feeling of combustion and the discomfort with fungal skin lesions are triggered by the contact of the epidermis with mycotoxins.These substances extraneous to the human body have poisonous properties, cause inflammation and interrupt metabolism in skin cells.
With damage to the nail plates, these symptoms are less expressed.The unpleasant itching sensations arise only in advanced cases, when the mushroom "arrives" to the fabrics under the nail plate.The mushroom lives in the nail and multiplies, secreting the poison in the surrounding tissues.The body suffers from poisoning, only toxins enter less quantities compared to dermatomicosis.
The onychomycosis launched is accompanied by crack and damage to the skin around the nail - this is the entrance door for other infections.Wounds and suppuration can be occurred, infection from a pseudoscan and golden staphylococcus is possible.The prolonged coexistence with a mushroom ends with undercode: the complete destruction of the nails.New plates do not grow, leaving the surface of the unprotected fingers.The fabrics under the nails are not adapted to friction, pressure, contacts with the environment.A person without standing nails is painful.Wearing shoes becomes torture.Uncertainty and complexes appear.
The onychomycosis is more difficult to cure compared to fungal skin diseases.The nail plate is denser and its base is inside the dermis.The mushroom is able to spread its disputes there, which is difficult to eliminate, even with the help of powerful drugs
How to note problems with nails in time?
The mycobacteria are found only in the upper layer of the plate.On it you can see points and points of light, a slight heterogeneity of the structure, the lack of a natural shine.
Nail mushroom development process
In the second stage, the infection penetrates the nail.This manifests itself from a change in its color, shape, structure.The plate of nails delays, thickens, loses elasticity and becomes fragile.When cutting the nails, it breaks and crumbles.
The third neglected phase is characterized by a complete change in the structure and appearance of the nail.It becomes whitish, yellow or greenish, loses transparency.The dish thickens many times, the cut becomes difficult.The shape of the nail bed changes: protrusions and tubercles appear on it.In the last phase, other signs of fungal infection arise: itching of the skin, pain and burning, cracks and kisses on the cuticles.Often the fungus "spreads" on the skin and nails nearby.In this case, dryness, itching and hyperkeratosis appear on the sole and between the fingers.In the absence of adequate treatment, the nail matrix is damaged, dies and disappears.
Onychomycosis is easier to treat in the early stages of development.To note changes in the nail plate over time, it is better to use the colorless paint for the pedicure.Weekly, the "revision" of the nails on the legs should be performed - carefully examine them, the cut, apply a new layer of paint.
Treatment
It is necessary to start the treatment of the nail fungus as soon as possible.Ideally - from the moment of the appearance of the points.The distribution of the controversy on mushrooms throughout the nail plate affects its growth rate.The affected nails grow slowly, which also complicates the processing process.The nail can be considered cured 1-2 months after the entire replacement of the plate with a good one.The longer the growth process, the more significant the cost of therapy is.
For the selection of drugs, consult a doctor.The dermatologist is engaged in the treatment of fungal infections.The specialist will determine the degree of abandonment of the icydomicosis and prescribe special tests.The scrapering laboratory exam by the interested nail will identify the type of mushroom and its sensitivity to fungicide agents.Treatment with specific drugs guarantees full destruction of infection and prevention of repercussions.If you choose the incorrect medicine, its use will not give an effect.Under the guidance of a dermatologist, the treatment will be faster and more effective
The pharmacological treatment process must be controlled.In the process of using drugs, the mushroom is able to adapt to them - to acquire resistance (stability).Weak medicine "euthanously" only the infection.Visual recovery does not exclude the possibility that the controversies of the infection remained in the plate.As soon as a person interrupts the treatment, the mushroom is again activated.
Onicomicosis therapy involves the use of local products.These are solutions, ointments, gels, pasta, paints.They act on the surface of the skin and the nail plate, killing the mushroom.In advanced cases, the use of systemic action - capsules or tablet systems will be required.Sometimes in complex therapy they include vitamins and stimulants of immunity.
Drugs or traditional medicine: what to choose?
Traditional medicine practices recommend dozens of different recipes against onychomycosis.They often use food products, herbs and pharmaceutical products of the antiseptic group.These "medicines" have no fungicidal effect.I am not able to kill the mushroom.Within the possibilities of popular compositions - to stop their reproduction.This will grow a healthy nail plate.However, the controversies on the mushrooms will remain inside, which are activated after the end of the treatment.
The use of popular recipes from onychomycosis is recommended exclusively in the first phase of its development.With a neglected shape, the treatment will be very long and will not give stable results.
For the treatment of the nail fungus, you should choose a special drug.However, the modern pharmaceutical industry offers universal means: fungistic and fungicide substances of a large spectrum of action.Some of them are able to kill over 10 mushrooms at the same time.In order to prevent the chronization of the icydomicosis, it is better to replace the drug 2-3 times during the therapy.In advanced cases, local funds are not sufficient.The guarantee of the treatment will only give a complete approach: the intake of tablets and the use of external drugs.
If you violate the treatment plan, periodically use popular drugs or medicines, do not bring therapy in the end: the nail fungus will remain where it was.In addition, the infection will become stronger and it will be worse than succumbing to the influence of fungicide substances.
How to prepare a nail?
The treatment of ouning on the thumb of the leg is rather problematic.Here is the largest, dense and thick nail plate.On a large homogeneous area, the mushroom spreads and spreads faster.The affected nail sometimes reaches the thickness of 5 mm, which makes it difficult to penetrate in medicinal substances.
Preparation for treatment
Before using drugs or traditional medicine, a sore plate should be prepared in a special way:
- Wash the legs and nails with soap for the family or antibacterial soap;
- Place the feet in a pelvis with a warm sodium-teller temperature (1 tablespoon of soda and 2 rooms) for 10-15 minutes are added for 1 liter of water;
- Get your feet with a personal towel;
- At most, cut the free edges;
- Cut the plate for nails interested until sensitivity appears;
- Dry your legs in the air and start cure medicine.
These manipulations must be repeated weekly, until the entire interested part of the nail is eliminated.
Before the start of the treatment, it is necessary to prepare several couples of new socks, a separate towel for the legs.During use, they must be washed as often as possible, make sure to iron with an iron.A bubble with formaldehyde is useful, as well as a large pack of cotton wool.Before starting the therapy, 2 Komka of cotton wool in the solution should be moistened, put them in the shoes.The boots must be wrapped in a bag and put on the balcony for the night.In the morning, cotton wool is removed and the shoes are ventilated for 2-3 hours.This processing is carried out weekly.After a complete cure of the mushroom, ordinary shoes and rooms should be replaced with a new one.
Choose a medicine
Moving on to the pharmacy for an antifungal agent, it is necessary to ask drugs specifically from the nail fungus.Standard ointments and creams will not be able to penetrate the deep layers of the nail.For the treatment of oticomicosis, they are suitable drugs in the form of special solutions and paints.
The solutions are applied to the nail twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, after the hygienic processing of the legs.The product is dripped on the Lunula (light area at the base), as well as on the free edge of the plate.In the first month of treatment, it is better to elaborate the skin on the whole finger, as well as the nearby nails.Rinse or wash the solutions is not necessary.
Medical paints are applied 1-2 times a week.After drying, the product forms a dense layer on the surface of the nail, which acts around the clock against the mushroom.
Treatment according to folk methods is a bit onerous.Some products must be prepared, applied for a certain time, covered by cellophane, rinsing.All these procedures should be performed every day, 2-3 times a day.Below are the simplest and most convenient folk methods for the treatment of a nail fungus.
- Tea tree oil.It has antibacterial and antifungal activities.It can only be used with good tolerance.Ether is used in its pure form.3 times a day they are applied to the prepared nail.Drip on the base and under the plate.The treatment continues until the nail grows completely.
- Iodine.An alcoholic iodine iodine iodine solution is applied on the nail twice a day, completely developing its surface with a cotton swab.Of the disadvantages: color the plates and the skin that surrounds them.
- Vinegar.A piece of cotton wool is imbued with apple vinegar or wine.It is positioned on the nail, covered with polyethylene, fixed with a bandage or patch.Leave the exposure for 3-4 hours, after which they remove the bandage and wash the remaining vinegar.In the treatment, it is necessary to ensure that there are no burns on the skin.With good tolerance, the bandage is applied all night.
Other well -known products are grated garlic, onion mixture, propolis baby food and alcohol, a mixture of aloe and mustard juice.All these drugs can be used for mild mushroom shapes.Dermatologists recommend the use of popular remedies exclusively in addition to pharmacological treatment.
How long to wait for the result?
The duration of the treatment is purely individual.The terms depend on the degree of damage to the mushroom, on its area, on the presence of complications in the form of dermatomicosis or immunodeficiency.You can get rid of the light form of the mushroom on the thumb of the leg in 3-4 months.The deeper lesions must be treated for about six months.In advanced cases, therapy lasts up to a year.Even after a complete treatment of onychomycosis, the risk of falling on the infection remains.To exclude it, it is necessary to use prophylactic agents, care regularly and qualitatively for the feet.
With excessive sweating, talc, special deodorants should be used.The shoes must be treated with anti -power solutions, the sungly modified sunshine, dried in the open air.The same principles should be guided by the prevention of the Onyicomicosis.The key point is the use of individual shoes, socks and towels in public places (bathroom, sauna, swimming pool, massage office).
