The effectiveness of the treatment of fungal diseases is inversely proportional to the degree of infection.In other words, the earlier the patient observes the disease, the faster it will be able to get rid of it quickly.Taming is devastating, the fungus can destroy the structure of the nail as soon as possible.

If a member of your family, in which it is common to use common bathrooms or slippers, has already revealed the presence of a disease, then the rest should be checked immediately.

• The initial stage.The first signs of infection are not noticeable to a person.Most likely, the patient will not have time to start treatment at an early stage.Only in laboratory conditions using a microscope can you see transparent white formations under the nail.
• The second stage.After Mikoz received growth and did not get attention from the person, he begins to deform the nail.Small grooves appear on the nail, tangible to the touch.There is no pain, and the color changes.
• The third stage.At this stage, the nail begins to turn yellow.Most patients see a doctor just during this period, which is quite reasonable.You can still heal at home.
• The fourth stage.If a person ignored the disease and did not take steps to get rid of it, the final stage comes.The nail begins to fold and becomes yellow completely.The skin around the nail dries, begins to peel and gain an unhealthy shade.An unpleasant rotten smell appears.

Each of the stages is treated.But it should be understood that the process of dealing with the fourth stage will be painful, long and expensive.

Symptoms

The initial symptoms of the disease are very vague.It is impossible to identify the first stage, except to look at their own ends and no one deals with it in ordinary life.Women who paint their nails on their feet should be particularly difficult.They will not detect the fungus until more obvious signs appear.

Nevertheless, you need to know the symptoms.If it does not work to determine the infection not the first stage, then the second is already possible.The faster, the better for the patient and his household.

• Unnatural color of the nail.At first there is no yellow, but there are already changes.First, the surface loses its transparency, the color intensifies, becomes dense.If you compare the color of the healthy nail plate on one foot on the forehead with one foot with the color of the infected color on the other, then you can notice the differences in shades.In the future, the patient will be active yellow, this procedure is no longer impossible to observe.
• Thickening of the nail.First, the smooth surface is covered with small grooves, then deformed, loses softness and constantly thickens.When he touched, he feels like a rough stone.
• Skin irritation.Fungi can act as a whole, in addition to the nail, the skin also suffers.At first it can be weak itching, then peel off.The skin becomes constant, loses moisture and is covered with microwave.
• Destruction of nail plate.Such a symptom occurs when the presence of a fungus is already obvious.The disaster occurs after thickening and significant deformation.During this time, it is important not to try to clean the layer or cutting, you can hurt a lot and crush the plate.
• Stratification.This symptom is not the most common, manifested in those people whose body lacks phosphorus and calcium.Fungal formations can stimulate stratification, but it is not its cause.

Even if you have not manifested any of the described symptoms, but there are other changes in the condition of the nail or skin plates, visit the mycologist and dermatologist to determine the pathology.

Medicines for the treatment of infection

There are many types of fungi, the methods of treatment vary, although the principle of infection is the same.Contact the micro -, will carry out several tests to provide the most effective treatment algorithm.

The most effective means, despite the statements of the therapists of the people, are medicinal products.Among them, it is important to use tablets, ointments and varnishes aimed at the death of the fungus and the restoration of the human immune system.However, folk remedies are able to help, but for them a little later.

Pills

Before you get accustomed to the pills, it's worth saying that everyone affects the liver condition.For a healthy person, this is not critical, but if you have liver problems, then choose other methods.

The tablets will be effective in treating fungi formed in internal organs, such as lungs, stomach, neck or intestines.The nail fungus is also treated with tablets, but for complete treatment they are combined with ointments, drops or varnishes.

The choice of tablets should be assigned to a specialist.A capable mackerel will analyze not only the type of fungus and the degree of damage, but also other characteristics of your body, such as allergic reactions and related diseases.

Ointments

The antimiches in their effectiveness significantly exceeds adults and children, as they are applied directly to the affected nail.The best ointments of a wide range of action are considered the best, which allow you not to test the type of fungus, but immediately proceed with treatment.

Varnishes

Therapeutic antifungal varnishes differ from all other ways to fight the disease as they remain in an infected part for a long time.The ointment is absorbed and lubricated, the tablets go a long path from the stomach to the place.The varnish is applied once and does not require attention for several days in a row.

There are not many lacquers.Otherwise they copy only two main competitors.Buy varnishes in pharmacies about a doctor's recommendations.If you choose yourself, you can't get a healthy nail canvas, but undermines immunity and cause the fungus to distribute.

Treatment with folk remedies

A popular treatment for treatment is the most controversial medical term in recent decades.On the one hand, drug manufacturers do not want to lose money and ensure people that popular drugs are not effective.On the other hand, supporters of popular methods show that we should not feed pharmacists.Who is right?

True is somewhere in the middle.If you notice, then most of the previously registered drugs are contraindicated in pregnant women and children.How to be?The natural methods of safe treatment come to the rescue.If you endure ointments and tablets normally, then use them, because the benefits of them are definitely more than damage.Popular treatment does not load the immune system, but is not so effective.In general, it is best to combine both, but in reasonable limits.

Vinegar

The main task of the vinegar in the treatment of fungi is to create an acidic environment that will prevent a difference from forming.As soon as the fungus loses the ability to reproduce and eat new fabrics, it will begin to die.In order not to hurt your health, you need to use table vinegar for up to 9%to avoid burns.What methods of treatment can be used?

• Vinegar baths.Heat the water in a warm state, not hot.Add 150-200 ml of vinegar to the water.The resulting solution must fully cover the foot.Fertilizer within twenty minutes three times a week.After the procedure, you do not need to wash your feet in the water, simply wipe them well with a dry towel.
• Drowned cotton pillows.This method is extra for the first.Immediately after the vinegar bath, you can wet cotton pillows with vinegar and applied to the painful spot for 10-15 minutes.A cotton swab can also moisten with extra vodka and glycerin, efficacy will be higher.
• Creating ointment.You will not need to table vinegar, but a 70% vinegar substance.For 20 grams of substance, you should add 10 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of glycerin and 10 grams of dimethylfithot solution.Apply the resulting ointment to a sly spot and hold 7 hours.After the procedure, the legs must be thoroughly washed with a household or tar.Repeat the process daily to achieve the best results.

Vinegar is very effective as an additional stimulant.If you use tablets or ointment, vinegar will increase their effectiveness.If you use a varnish, you should deny the vinegar, because the varnish is on the nail constantly, the vinegar can damage its mattress.

Tea oil

The antiseptic properties of the oil of the tea tree allow to deal with a variety of skin diseases, as well as with pathogens such as nail fungus.

• Cotton.Reduce a cotton wool or a tea cotton swab and apply to a sly spot 3 times a day.Effectiveness can be observed after 2-3 months, provided that the treatment is complex, with medicines.
• A mixture of oils.Mix 5 drops of tea tree oil with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 3 drops of thyme.Rub the resulting mixture on and under it.
• Baths with soda and oily tea tree.Add 10 drops of tea oil, a tablespoon of soda and a spoonful of salt in warm water, preferably at sea.Everyday baths will help tablets and ointments quickly deal with the disease.

The antiseptic is able to stop the development of the fungus, but not to kill it.Do not use tea tree oil.As the only way of treatment, let's be good help in pills or ointments.

Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is an antiseptic that has antibacterial and antifungal effect.

• Vigilance.A 3%peroxide solution is used, a cotton pillow is moistened and the lesion is moistened 3 times a day.
• Peroxide baths.It is necessary to mix 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 3% with two liters of hot water and then hold your feet in water for at least 15 minutes.Repeat the procedure daily in combination with other medicines.
• Vinegar peroxide.Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are mixed with the same proportions.The resulting solution should be applied to the affected area and wait until the solution stops.Hiss tells us that the chemical process of interaction with infection is happening.
• Peroxide and soda.It is necessary to take 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons, bastard vinegar, one tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of peroxide.A mixture of penetration should be obtained, which should be applied to the nail daily for a month for 30-40 minutes.

Peroxide works in the same way as tea tree oil.Effectiveness depends on the individual characteristics of the body.Do not use antiseptics as the main treatment, only as an addition to pharmaceuticals.

Other recipes of traditional medicine

There are many ways to treat various diseases by folk methods.We have examined the main methods to get rid of misfortune in previous sections, it is time to illuminate less popular, but no less effective means.

• Onion.Onion juice contains a natural antiseptic.The recipe is simple: to dissolve the onion onion juice in equal proportions, you can with the cake and hot water and then wipe the affected nail daily.
• Propolis.The therapeutic properties of propolis are used in many parts of medicine.An effective method of treatment: Grill the nail with propolis alcohol solution, then bandage the foot.The procedure must be performed daily for one month.

Each of the present popular methods is effective, use the one you like most or is suitable for you according to any criteria.Remember that treatment requires a comprehensive approach to treatment, along with drugs, otherwise the result will not be the best.

Ways of removing the affected nail

The treatment of any disease involves two parallel stages - treatment of causes and the removal of consequences.In addition to treating the fungus itself, it is necessary to eliminate the affected nail plate so that it does not infect a healthy part.

Nail removal methods are different, some of them are effective, but painful.Let's analyze the most common methods to choose the most appropriate.

Mechanical technique

This technique requires a fair share of courage by the patient, without jokes.The mechanical technique involves removing the nail using cosmetic scissors.

1. Piping hot.The legs should be placed in warm water for 20-30 minutes.
2. Operation.The patient independently removes the layer from the layer to the open flesh.

The method is considered morally outdated.We strongly advise you to abandon it under any circumstances.There are no objective reasons for using this method.

Special tools

Modern medicines allow you to relieve the nail without pain, obviously to soften it.The nail is separated from the fabric in a few days and the plate itself disappears.

There are also popular methods among the methods, but we do not recommend them.It is best to trust such a dangerous process for medicinal products so that they do not suffer from pain later.

Removal

Surgery surgery is usually prescribed for those patients in whom it is impossible to overcome the disease by methods of external patients.Most of the time, these are quite advanced cases when iodine and soda will no longer help.

How surgery takes place:

• Local anesthesia.The patient is done directly on the finger.
• Cutting the nail.Whether the damaged part is removed, or the whole plate is entirely if Mikoz has already reached the skin.
• Antibiotic.Immediately after operation, it is necessary to wrap your finger in an antibiotic gauze and dress every six to seven hours twice a day.The new nail grows in six to twelve months.

Surgery is a very painful procedure, especially in the early days after the business.Moving the tissue of a naked finger causes the strongest attacks of pain.

Prevention of infection

It is completely impossible to protect the fungus, there are no preventive measures that will save you from the penetration of the infection, except that special fungus tablets.But no one will constantly use them unnoticed, as they negatively affect the condition of the liver and kidneys.

However, there are recommendations that can protect you in part.Follow them at least in part so that they do not constantly fall into the danger zone.

• Public baths and saunas.Try not to attend events where different people are with bare feet.Each of them can convey the disease without knowing it.

• Beaches.On the beach, everyone goes barefoot or in open shoes, allowing the infection to penetrate the body almost freely.Try to wash your legs with home soap after visiting the beach.
• Slippers of other people.Come visit, they offer you slippers.Discard, go to the socks.You will not be convicted of this, tell me you are not cold.And don't be afraid to offend anyone, people often do not care and you will save yourself out of potential risk.

The fungus needs close contact with the body to infect it, so take care of your legs, keep them in closed state and observe hygiene.

In order to cure fungus, you must determine the type, the degree of infection and choose the right ways of delivery.Anyone can choose their own method, but we recommend that you contact experts to get quick results and high quality.
