Nail fungus is a common infectious disease that affects the legs on the legs.A large number of people around the world suffer from this disease because the fungus is unpredictable.He can appear in any person, regardless of gender, age, cleanliness or season.Of course there are factors that stimulate its appearance, but they are all obvious and approach other infections.
Look at the process of treatment of mushrooms and touch the questions of prevention and traditional medicine.We will analyze the situations that should be avoided not to provoke the development of fungal formations.Remember that the disease is transferred to family members.The earlier you decide to heal it quickly, the less likely it harms your loved ones.

Conversely, the effectiveness of the treatment of fungal diseases is proportional to the degree of infection.In other words, the earlier the patient notices the disease, the faster he can get rid of it quickly.Domestication is destructive, the mushroom can destroy the structure of the nail in a very short time.
If a family member in which it is common to use shared bathrooms or slippers has already revealed the presence of an illness, the rest should be checked immediately.
- The initial phase.The very first signs of infection are not perceptible to one person.Most likely, the patient has no time to start treatment early.You can only see transparent white formations under the nail using a microscope using a microscope.
- The second stage.After Mikoz received the development and has not received any attention from the person, he begins to deform the nail.Small grooves appear on the nail, tangible on the touch.There is no pain or color changes.
- The third stage.The nail begins to be yellow in this phase.Most patients see a doctor exactly during this time, which is quite logical.You can still heal at home.
- The fourth stage.If a person ignored the disease and took no measures to get rid of it, the last phase comes.The nail begins to wrinkle and becomes completely yellow.The skin dries around the nail, begins to pull off and gets an unhealthy shade.An unpleasant, lazy smell appears.
Each of the levels is treated.However, it is to be understood that the process of treating the fourth stage will be painful, long and expensive.
Symptoms of an infection
The initial symptoms of the disease are very vague.It is impossible to identify the first stage, except that you look at your own limbs, and nobody is busy in ordinary life.Women who paint their nails on their feet must be particularly difficult.You will only recognize the fungus until obvious characters appear.
Nevertheless, you have to know the symptoms.If it does not work not to identify the infection in the first stage, the second is already possible.The earlier, the better for the patient and his household.

- Unnatural color of the nail.At first it won't be yellow, but there are already changes.First, the surface loses its transparency, the color of course and becomes tight.If you compare the color of the healthy nail plate on one leg in the forehead with a leg with the color of the infected color before the other, you can notice the differences in the colors.In the future, the patient will be actively yellow, this process will no longer be noticed.
- Thickening of the nail.First, the smooth surface is covered with small grooves, then deformed, loses the softness and constantly becomes thicker.When it is touched, it feels like a rougher stone;
- Skin irritation.In addition to the nail, mycoses can also have a comprehensive effect.At first it can be weak itching and then peel.The epidermis becomes firm, loses moisture and is covered with microricises.
- Destruction of the nail plate.Such a symptom manifests itself if the presence of a mushroom is already obvious.Destruction occurs after thickening and significant deformation.During this time it is important not to try to clean the layer or cut.You can damage and crush the plate considerably.
- Laying.This symptom is not the most common and manifests itself in people whose body does not contain phosphorus and calcium.Mushroom formations can stimulate stratification, but are not their basic cause.
Even if you have not manifested any of the symptoms described, but there are other changes in the state of the nail plates or the skin, visit the mycologist and dermatologist to determine the pathology.
Medicines for the treatment of infection
There are many types of mycosis, treatment methods differ, although the infection principle is the same.Contact the micrologists, he will carry out a number of tests to offer the most effective treatment algorithm.
Despite all the statements of the healers of people, the most effective means are pharmaceuticals.Among them is relevant to use tablets, ointments and paints for the death of the mushroom and the restoration of the human immune system.However, folk remedies can help, but a little later.
Pills
Before you get to know each other with the pills, it is worth that you all influence the condition of the liver.This is not critical for a healthy person, but if you have problems with the liver, choose other methods.
The tablets are effective in the treatment of mushrooms, which are formed in internal organs such as lungs, stomach, neck or intestine.The nail fungus is also treated with tablets, but for full treatment they are combined with ointments, drops or paint.
The choice of tablets should be entrusted to a specialist.A competent mycologist not only analyzes the type of mushroom and the degree of damage, but also other characteristics of your body, such as allergic reactions and related diseases.
Anoint
Animicose ointments in their effectiveness exceed the tablets for adults and children considerably because they are applied directly to the affected nail.The best ointments of a variety of actions are considered the best with which you cannot carry out tests for the type of fungus, but can continue immediately for treatment.
paint
Therapeutic antifungals differ from all other ways to combat the disease because they stay in an infected place for a long time.The ointment is absorbed and lubricated, the tablets go a long way from the stomach to the place.The paint is applied once and does not require attention for several days in a row.
There are not many varnishes.Different analogues only copy two main competitors.Buy paint in pharmacies on recommendations from a doctor.If you choose yourself, you cannot receive a healthy nail screen, but undermine the immunity and cause the distribution of the mushroom.
Treatment with folk remedies

A folk remedy for treatment has been the most controversial medical term in recent decades.On the one hand, drug manufacturers do not want to lose money and assure people that folk funds are not effective.On the other hand, supporters of folk methods show that we should not feed the pharmacists.Who is right?
True lies somewhere in the middle.If you notice it, most of the previously listed medication in pregnant women and children are contraindicated.How is you?Natural safe treatment methods come to rescue.If you normally endure ointments and tablets, use them because the advantages of you are definitely more than just harm.The folk remedy does not load the immune system, but it does not heal so effectively.In general, it is better to combine both, but within reasonable limits.
Vinegar
The main task of vinegar in the treatment of mycoses is to create an acidic environment that prevents the formation of a dispute.As soon as the mushroom loses the ability to reproduce and eat new fabrics, it will die.In order not to affect your health, you need to use up to 9%table vinegar to avoid burns.Which treatment methods can be used?
- Baths with vinegar.Heat the water in a warm condition, not hot.Add 150-200 ml vinegar to the water.The resulting solution must cover the leg completely.Grease three times a week within twenty minutes.After the procedure, you don't have to wash your legs in water and simply wipe them down with a dry towel.
- Drowned cotton padding.This method is in addition to the first.Immediately after the vinegar bath, you can moisture cotton baths with vinegar and apply to the aching point for 10-15 minutes.A cotton block can also be moistened with additional vodka and glycerin, the effectiveness will be higher.
- Creation of vinegar ointment.You don't need vinegar table, but 70% vinegar essence.For 20 grams of essence you have to add 10 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of glycerin and 10 grams of a dimethylphtolate solution.Apply the resulting ointment to a aching point and stop for 7 hours.After the procedure, the legs have to be washed thoroughly with household or Tar soap.Repeat the process every day to achieve the best results.
Vinegar is very effective as an additional stimulant.If you use tablets or ointment, the vinegar increases its effectiveness.If you use paint, you have to reject vinegar because the paint is constantly on the nail, vinegar can damage its layer.
Tea
The antiseptic properties of tea tree oil enable him to deal with a variety of skin diseases and pathogens such as nail fungus.
- Cotton pads and butter.Moist a cotton wool or cotton swab with a tea tree air and apply it three times a day to a aching point.Efficiency can be observed after 2-3 months, provided that treatment will be complex, with medication.
- A mixture of oils.Mix 5 drops of tea tree oil with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 3 drops of thyme oil.Grate the resulting mixture into the nail plate and below.
- Baths with soda and greasy tea tree.Add 10 drops of tea tree oil, a tablespoon of soda and a spoonful of salt on warm water, preferably sea.Daily bathrooms help tablets and ointments quickly with the disease.
The antiseptic can stop the development of the mushroom, but cannot kill it.Do not use tea tree oil.As the only treatment method, let it be good for pills or ointments.
Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is an antiseptic with an antibacterial and antimycotic effect.
- Lotes peroxide.A 3% peroxide solution is used, a cotton block is moistened and the damage is moistened three times a day.
- Baths with peroxide.It is necessary to mix 100 ml hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 3% with two liters of warm water and then keep your legs in water for at least 15 minutes.Repeat the process every day in combination with other medication.
- Peroxide with vinegar.Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are mixed in the same proportions.The resulting solution should be applied to the affected area and wait until the solution stops hissing.The Hiss tells us that the chemical interaction process occurs with the infection.
- Peroxide and soda.It is necessary to take 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of soda, bastard -dodel, a tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoons of peroxide.A pasty mixture should be obtained, which has to be applied daily on the nail for 30 to 40 minutes.
The peroxide works in the same way as tea tree oil.The efficiency depends on the individual properties of the body.Do not use antiseptics as main treatment, but only as a supplement to pharmaceutical medicines.
Other recipes of traditional medicine
There are many ways to treat different diseases with folk methods.We examined the main methods to get rid of the accident in previous sections.It is time to shed light on less popular but no less effective means.
- Onion.Onion juice contains a natural antiseptic.The recipe is simple: To dissolve onion onion juice in the same proportions, you can wipe off daily with cakes and warm water and then the affected nail.
- Propolis.The healing properties of propolis are used in many sections of medicine.An effective method of treatment: grate the nail with an alcohol solution from propolis and then connect the leg.The procedure must be carried out daily for one month.
- Celandine.Celandin juice contains toxic components that are destructive for mycosis and are safe for humans.Wipe the location of the infection once a day with Celandin juice.
Each of the folk methods presented is effective.Use those that like more or are suitable for all criteria for you.Do not forget that treatment together with medication requires an integrated approach in the treatment, otherwise the result is not the best.
Opportunities to remove the affected nail
The treatment of an illness implies two parallel stages - treatment of causes and removal of consequences.In addition to treating the mushroom itself, it is necessary to eliminate the affected nail plate so as not to infect a healthy part.
The methods of removing the nail are different, some of them are effective, but painful.Let us analyze the most common methods to choose the most suitable.
Mechanical technology
This technology requires a reasonable proportion of the patient's courage, without jokes.The mechanical technology is to remove the nail with cosmetic scissors.
- Steamy.The legs should be placed in hot water for 20-30 minutes.
- Operation.The patient removes the layer regardless of the layer to the open meat.
The method is considered morally outdated.We strongly advise you to give it up under all circumstances.There are no objective reasons to use this method.
Special tools
With modern medication, you can relieve the nail without pain and obviously soften.The nail is separated from the fabric in a few days and the plate itself disappears.
There are also folk methods among the methods, but we do not recommend them.It is better to entrust a pharmaceuticals to such a dangerous process so as not to suffer from pain later.
Surgical distance

The surgeon surgery is usually prescribed for patients who are impossible to overcome the disease with outpatient methods.In most cases, these are rather advanced cases in which iodine and soda no longer help.
How the surgical company takes place:
- Local anesthesia.The patient will get into his finger.
- Nail.Either its damaged part is removed, or the entire plate is complete when Mikoz has already reached the cuticle.
- antibiotic.Immediately after the operation, it is necessary to wrap your finger with an antibiotic in Gaze and dress twice a day every six to seven hours.The new nail grows in six to twelve months.
Surgical intervention is a very painful process, especially in the first days after the operation.The handkerchief of a naked finger provokes the strongest pain attacks.
Prevention of the infection
It is completely impossible to protect the fungus.There are no preventive measures that you protect from the infection, except that special tablets from the fungus.But nobody will use them constantly unnoticed because they negatively influence the condition of the liver and kidneys.
However, there are recommendations that you can partially protect.Follow them at least partially so as not to constantly get into the risk zone.
- Public baths and saunas.Don't try to take part in events where different people with bare feet are.Each of them may be able to transmit the disease without knowing it.
- Beaches.Every barefoot or open shoes on the beach, which means that the infection can almost freely penetrate the body.Try to wash your feet with household mature after visiting the beach.
- Hog shoes of other people.They come to visit, they offer slippers.Garbage, go to the socks.You will not be convicted, tell me that you are not cold.And you are not afraid of insulting someone, people usually don't care and you will protect yourself from potential danger.

The fungus needs close contact with the body to infect it.So pay attention to your feet, keep it in a closed state and watch hygiene.
To heal mycosis, you have to determine your type and the degree of the infection and select the right options for providing it.Everyone can choose their own method, but we recommend contacting specialists to achieve quick and high -quality results.
