How to treat nail mushrooms

Fungal infection on the legs, the second name whose onychomycosis is considered a fairly common disease.

Despite the fact that it is very difficult to be infected with the disease, it is quite difficult to get rid of it due to frequent relapses.Therefore, after several unsuccessful attempts to be treated, the question arises how to treat nail mushrooms to forget it forever.

The practice shows that complex therapy gives a good effect, which includes both drugs and treatment with popular remedies at home.

How fungal infection spreads

The basis of all fungal diseases is an infectious nature, caused by pathogens.The favorable areas for it are generally leather and nail plates.In most cases, infection occurs in contact.

The infection of a healthy person by an onhhychimiciosis occurs when ignorant of simple personal hygiene rules:

1. Presence in public places (swimming pool, gymnasium, beach) without shoes;
2. Use of joints with the wearer of the toilet, the towel, shoes and things of onchimicosis;
3. Treatment of nails with manicure accessories without preliminary sterilization.

Favorable conditions for the more in-depth growth of pathogenic microorganisms are increased humidity.This can be like a wet environment in a bath, a swimming pool and on the beach, therefore increased sweaty of the legs when you wear stockings, socks and cramped shoes.

We hit the alarm!

A parasitic fungus fungus, which has settled on the plate, can easily cause a lot of grief and problems to each of us.Despite the fact that tissue infection propagates, not so quickly, nevertheless, a gradual change in the form of the nail leads to a loss of its normal appearance and, in some cases, even causes pain.

In the presence of the following signs, it is extremely important to obtain a specialized consultation:

• The nail begins to lose natural shine and change the color.After exposure to the fungus, it can become muddy-white, yellowish brown or gray-green;
• The nail loses its natural shape and begins to thicken, break or exfoliate;
• the formation of high -stem hyperkeratosis (mass accumulation of keratinized nails under the plate);
• inflammation of the nail hole;
• Unpleasant odor.

We make an appointment with the doctor

After noticing the first signs of a fungal infection, immediately consult a doctor and do not expect a miracle.The disease itself will not disappear and, during tightening, it can affect healthy areas, cause an allergic reaction and reduce the immune functions of the body.In addition, the transition of the disease into a chronic form is very difficult to treat and causes frequent relapses.

It is advisable to obtain advice from a tracologist specializing in such diseases.The doctor proceeds not only to the inspection, but in fact diagnostic measures.During the examination, the thickness and structure of the nail plate are determined, tissue scrapes are made for more in -depth analysis, which will determine the type of fungus and will prescribe the necessary treatment.

It is not recommended to buy independently of medicines and use it without a prescription from a doctor, because some of them are absolutely not effective for certain types of fungal infection.And the lost time will only increase the course of the disease.

To help, you can try to use folk remedies at home.But I would like to say immediately that a greater effect on their part can only be obtained in combination with medical drugs.

External treatment

Local therapy for the treatment of ochimicimiasis in the middle and late stage is considered less effective, because the maximum effect of active substances falls only on the surface of the nail plate.But under the nail and inside, as well as in the box and the matrix, these drugs do not penetrate and therefore do not have the possibility of fighting the pathogens of the infection.

Local treatment at home will only be effective if:

1. The disease is at the initial stage:
2. The fungus struck less than half of the plate;
3. Small sublegume hyperkeratosis;
4. No more than 2 nails are affected on the leg.

Before treatment with antifungal compounds, the partial elimination of the affected nail horn structure is prescribed.Various drops, ointments and varnishes can be used for treatment.

Treatment drug

If external drugs have not had the required effect and fungal infection continues to progress, the doctor is prescribed systemic therapy, which implies the appointment of stronger products.

The antifungal drugs of the system are prescribed in the following cases:

• The disease is at a late stage;
• Most of the nail plate is affected;
• a strong shape of hyperkeratosis or oncholysis;
• diabetes mellitus;
• The patient is over 50.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy has received good journals.It is one of the rare treatment methods that give a guaranteed result.

Laser treatment is absolutely painless, so it does not require the use of anesthetic drugs.Its advantages include the lack of side effects present when using tablets on tablets.

The treatment of the nail plate is carried out by penetrating the infrared spectrum of the laser.Before the procedure, the patient cooks the leg in the soda bath for 20 minutes, cleaning the affected area on the nail.The laser treatment course is 6 to 10 procedures.

The disadvantage of therapy is the lack of instant results.It can only be found after 2-3 months.

The effect of the effect after laser treatment can be obtained during the combination of treatment with medication or replacement by popular remedies at home.

The cost of laser treatment treatment depends on the damage area to the nail plate.

Treatment of traditional medicine recipes

As a home auxiliary therapy, you can use traditional medicine recipes that give excellent results in the treatment of fungal infection.It should be noted that some of them do not eliminate it, but only suspend the development of pathogens.Therefore, it is recommended to use these treatment methods until the visible characteristics disappear completely.

Apple vinegar treatment

One of the effective ways to get rid of the fungus at home is apple vinegar.Having treated the surface of the nail with special compounds prepared on the basis of vinegar, an acidic medium forms in its fabrics, which does not create favorable conditions for the development of fungal microorganisms.

For the preparation, you can use several proven recipes:

1. Baths with the addition of vinegar.For 3 liters of water, about a liter of apple cider vinegar will be necessary and a little potassium permanganate to obtain the composition of the light pink.To carry out water procedures, the solution must be pleasantly hot.Baths with vinegar are made for 7 days for 10 to 15 minutes, after which you need to take a short break and repeat the route.
2. Vinegar ointment.In this case, it will be necessary to prepare eucalyptus oil (30 g), honey (10 g), apple cider vinegar (1 teaspoon) prepared with each other.In order not to lose the healing properties of the resulting ointment, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator.

Soda treatment

In addition, soda paste has positive criticisms.To prepare it, only three ingredients will be necessary: soda, water and citric acid.The required quantity of soda is carefully stirred with a small amount of water until a pasty mixture forms.We apply the resulting mass on a pre-seized nail, after which we flow a few drops of lemon juice and expect a chemical reaction.It manifests in the form of a slight whistle and a small pinch.After 10 minutes, the dough can be washed and the legs are rinsed with lukewarm and dry water.

Folk remedies

The treatment of onychomycosis with folk remedies gives positive results when using the following recipes:

• Daily treatment with a 20% alcohol solution of affected nail propolis;
• Prepare a porridge of fresh onions and apply a patient to the patient daily;
• Lubricate the damaged nail plate 2-3 times a week with celandine juice.The course of treatment is approximately 3 months;
• On the painful nails, drip 1 of an iodine solution at 5%.Treatment lasts within 20 to 30 days.Do not be afraid of the appearance of itching and burns.This fact indicates the effectiveness of the exposure.

To get rid of a fungal infection, it takes a lot of time and efforts.Do not wait for the instant results.Armed with patience, follow the instructions.And then at one point, you will see the result: the damaged area has gradually started to leave and its place was taken by a healthy pink nail.
