Many people ignore changes in nails on their feet and underestimate possible dangers.Onychomycosis (the scientific name of nail fungi) is not a cosmetic defect, but a medical problem.The toxins produced by the fungi are constantly exposed, resulting in long-term poisoning in the human body.Results - Fatigue, weakness, immune disease in work.Not to mention that the fungus-influenced nails do not look aesthetically pleasing and are disgusted by others.
What is the risk of thyroid disease?
The contact of the epidermis with mycotoxin triggers the itching, burning sensation and discomfort with fungal skin lesions.These are toxic properties with matter from aliens in the human body, causing inflammation and disrupting the metabolism of skin cells.
This symptom is expressed less due to damage to the nail plate.The unpleasant itching only occurs when the fungus "enters" the tissue under the nail plate.The fungus lives in the nails and doubles, secreting the poison into the surrounding tissues.The human body suffers from poisoning, only the amount of toxins is less than that of skin diseases.
The launch of Onychomycisois is accompanied by rupture and damage to the skin around the nails - an entrance door to other infections.Wounds and suppuration may occur and may be infected with pseudo-based and Staphylococcus aureus.The prolonged coexistence with the fungus ends with a transverse ending - completely destroying the nails.New plates do not grow, leaving the surface of the finger unprotected.The tissue under the nails is not suitable for friction, pressure, and contact with the environment.It's a pain for a person without nails.Wearing shoes becomes torture.Uncertainty and complexes appear.
Myomycosis is more difficult to cure than fungal skin diseases.The nail plate is denser and its base is located in the dermis.Fungi can spread its disputes there, and it is difficult to eliminate even with the help of powerful drugs
How to pay attention to nail issues in time?
Mycobacterium is located only on the upper layer of the plate.On the above, you can notice highlights and spots, a slight heterogeneity of the structure, lacking natural luster.
Nail fungus development process
In the second stage, the infection penetrates into the nails.This is indicated by changes in color, shape, and structure.The nail plates delay, become thicker, lose elasticity and become brittle.Cracked and debrised when cutting nails.
The third overlooked stage is characterized by a complete change in the structure and appearance of the nail.It turns white, yellow or green, losing transparency.The plate becomes thicker several times and trimming becomes difficult.The shape of the nail bed changes - ledges and nodules appear on it.In the final stage, other signs of fungal infection appear - skin itching, soreness and burning, cracks and burrs in the epidermis.Usually, fungi "scatter" on the skin and nearby nails.In this case, dryness, itching and high venereal diseases appear between the sole and the fingers.Without proper treatment, the matrix of the nail is damaged, dies and disappears.
In the early stages of development, tumor disease is easier to treat.Pay attention to timely changes in the nail plate, and it is best to use colorless varnish for pedicures.Every week, a "revision" of the nails on the nails should be done - they are thoroughly inspected, trimmed, and coated with a new layer of varnish.
treat
It is necessary to start treating nail fungi as early as possible.Ideally - from the moment the spot appears.The distribution of fungal disputes throughout the nail plate can affect its growth rate.The affected nails grow slowly, which also complicates the treatment process.Nails can be cured 1-2 months after completely replacing the plate with a healthy plate.The longer the growth process, the more important the cost of treatment is.
Consult a doctor for drug choices.Dermatologists engage in the treatment of fungal infections.The expert will determine the extent of neglecting thyroidomatosis and prescribe special tests.Laboratory examination of scratches on affected nails will determine the type of fungus and its sensitivity to fungicides.Treatment with specific drugs ensures complete destruction of infection and prevent recurrence.If you choose the incorrect drug, its use will not have any effect.Treatment will be faster and more effective under the guidance of a dermatologist
The drug treatment process must be controlled.During the use of drugs, fungi are able to adapt to them to gain resistance (stability).Weak drugs will only "euthanize" infections.Visual recovery does not rule out the possibility that disputes in the presence of infection may remain on the board.Once a person stops treatment, the fungus will be activated again.
Treatment of tumor diseases involves the use of topical products.These are solutions, ointments, gels, pastes, varnishes.They act on the surface of the skin and nail plates, killing the fungus.In advanced cases, systemic fungicidal systems are required - capsules or tablets.Sometimes, in complex treatments, they include vitamins and immune stimulants.
Drugs or Traditional Medicine: What to choose?
Traditional medical practice recommends dozens of different recipes for thyroid disease.They usually use food, herbs, as well as pharmacy products with antimicrobial groups.This "drug" has no fungicidal effect.They cannot kill fungi.In the possibility of folk works - stop their reproduction.This will grow a healthy nail plate.However, fungal disputes will remain in it, which will be activated after treatment is over.
It is recommended to use folk recipes from Chomycosis only during the first phase of its development.Through neglected forms, treatment will be long and will not give stable results.
To treat nail fungus, you should choose a special medication.However, the modern pharmaceutical industry offers a common means - a wide variety of styling and fungicidal substances.Some of them were able to kill 10 fungi at the same time.To prevent the chronological period of thyroiditis, it is best to replace the drug 2-3 times during the treatment process.In advanced cases, local funds are not enough.Treatment guarantees will only provide a comprehensive approach – taking tablets and using external medications.
If you violate the treatment plan, use medications or folk medicines regularly and do not end treatment - nail fungi will remain in place.Furthermore, infection will become stronger and it will be worse for succumb to the effects of fungicidal substances.
How to prepare nails?
Treating mildew on the thumb of the legs is very problematic.This is the largest, dense and thick nail plate.In large homogeneous areas, fungi reproduce and spread faster.The affected nails sometimes reach a thickness of 5 mm, which makes it difficult to penetrate the drug.
Prepare for treatment
Before using drugs or traditional medical methods, a sore plate should be prepared in a special way:
- Wash your legs and nails thoroughly with home or antibacterial soap;
- Place your feet in every 1 liter of water and add hot (tolerant temperature) soda aqueous solution (1 tablespoon soda and 2 salt) for 10-15 minutes in the basin;
- Use a personal towel to stretch your feet out;
- Cut the free edge to the greatest extent;
- Cut off the affected nail plate until sensitivity appears;
- Dry your legs in the air and start treating medication.
This type of operation must be repeated weekly until the entire part of the nail is eliminated.
Before starting treatment, several new pairs of socks should be prepared and a separate towel should be prepared.During use, you need to wash as much as possible, make sure to iron with iron.Bubbles with formaldehyde and large packaged cotton wool are useful.Before starting treatment, the 2 cotton wool in the solution should be wet and put it into the shoes.The boots need to be wrapped in a bag and then placed on the balcony overnight.In the morning, remove the lint and ventilate for 2-3 hours.This treatment is performed weekly.After a complete fungal treatment, regular shoes and room shoes should be replaced by new shoes.
Select a drug
Turning to pharmacies for antifungal agents, it is necessary to ask for drugs from nail fungi.Standard ointments and face creams will not penetrate deep into the nails.In order to treat thyroid disease, medications in the form of solutions and special varnish are suitable.
The solution is applied to nails twice a day - after hygienic leg treatments, in the morning and at night.The product drips on the Lunula (light zone at the bottom) and on the free edge of the board.During the first month of treatment, it is best to treat the skin of the entire finger as well as the adjacent nails.Rinse or wash the solution is not required.
Use medical varnish 1-2 times a week.After drying, the product forms a dense layer on the surface of the nail, which is the full clock opposite the fungus.
Treatment according to folk methods is a bit arduous.Some products must be prepared to be applied within a certain period of time and rinsed with cellophane.All these procedures should be completed 2-3 times a day.Here are the easiest and most affordable folk ways to treat nail fungi.
- Tea tree oil.It has antibacterial and antifungal activity.Only use with good tolerance.Used in pure form.Apply to prepared nails 3 times a day.They drip under the base and under the plate.Treatment continues until the nails are fully grown.
- iodine.Apply iodine pharmacy alcohol solution to the nails twice a day and completely treat its surface with a cotton swab.Cons - Stain plate and surrounding skin.
- vinegar.A piece of cotton wool is soaked in apple or wine vinegar.It is placed on the nails and is secured to the nails with bandages or patches.Leave a 3-4 hour exposure and remove the bandage and wash off the remaining vinegar.During treatment, it is necessary to ensure that there is no burn on the skin.Good tolerance, the bandage is applied all night.
Other well-known products are ground garlic, onion honey mixture, propolis and alcohol juice, a mixture of aloe vera juice and mustard.All of these drugs can be used for mild fungi.Dermatologists recommend using folk therapy in addition to medication.
How long will you wait for the result?
The duration of treatment is purely individual.The term depends on the extent of damage to the fungus, its area, and complications exist in the form of a skin disease or an immunodeficiency.You can get rid of the light-colored shape of fungus on your leg thumb within 3-4 months.Deeper lesions must be treated for about six months.In advanced cases, treatment lasts for up to one year.Even if thyroxine disease is completely cured, the risk of recurrence of infection remains.To rule it out, it is necessary to use preventive agents regularly and keep them qualitatively consistent with the feet.
Too much sweating, talc, and special deodorant should be used.Shoes must be treated with antifungal solutions, regularly changed insoles, and dried in the open air.The same principle should be guided by prevention of myelopathy.The key point is to use individual shoes, socks and towels in public places (bathroom, sauna, swimming pool, massage office).
To cure fungal diseases of folk remedies, it is important to know what nail fungi are afraid of.The success of intensive therapies with clinical outcomes depends on this.The most important thing is to stop the pathological process of infection transmission and stop the attack.To effectively defeat the fungus of your nails with folk therapy, you need to contact a dermatologist and get diagnosed, ending the intensive therapy
