Treat nail fungus on your legs and thumbs at home

Nail fungus or thyroid disease is a common disease.Infection cannot cause serious damage to health, but it can greatly reduce the quality of life and cause discomfort.The cause of infection is direct contact with the carrier of a disease or thing.Destruction of the nail plate is the result of the spread of pathogenic disputes in adjacent areas of the skin.Therefore, the fungus first manifests along the edges and then spreads over the entire surface of the nail.

Onichomycosis may be infected when visiting public places such as saunas, pools or bathrooms.In humid conditions, infection not only retains but also actively multiplies.Treatment of nail fungi on the thumb of the leg is a long process because the disease is difficult to refer to therapeutic.

Symptoms of the disease

Causes of fungi appearing on the thumb of the leg

In the initial stages of development, the fungus did not show up.Initially, infection can only be detected by skin conditions between fingers and around the nail plate.

Treatment should be started when dryness, cracks, rashes and wounds increase, as in the absence of treatment, the infection gradually switches to the nails.

In the future, pathology will manifest as the following symptoms (they may vary slightly depending on the type of pathogen):

  1. The nail plate gradually changes its color to yellow, green, gray or black.
  2. Nails lose transparency and become dull.
  3. The surface obtains characteristic roughness, which can be recognized not only by touch but also in visual inspection.
  4. The nail plate begins to rotate at the edge, and then the area of the lesion increases.
  5. There are a lot of burrs on the surrounding skin.
  6. It significantly slows down the growth of nails.
