Onchomycosis-The front of the nail with pathogenic fungal-dermatophita.According to different sources, 10-30% of the world's population suffers from nail fungus.It is possible that this is due to weak symptoms that do not interfere with a person at the beginning of the infection.However, after the mushroom activity causes discomfort, its treatment becomes problematic.
How to recognize the foot fungus
The primary symptoms are expressed by itching around the nail, Interkat.In the future, nail cylinder inflammation, ulcer of the skin between the fingers, pain.Damage to failure begins with color changes, nail plate: stains (white, yellow), strips appear.The surface of the nail loses its glitter and becomes wave -like.If you do not pay attention to the problem, the affected nails will thicken and deform that they can no longer be hidden by any cosmetic method.
There are three stages of onychomycosis:
- Normotorophical- Smaller spots on the surface of the plate while retaining the thickness, shape and light of the nail.
- Hypertrophic- Deep defeat causes nail tissue growth, characterized by a loose structure, wave -like growth and crushed edges of the nail.
- Atrophic- The affected nail rejects, and the nail bed has deformed remnants of atypical color nail tissue.
The fungus is contrast, you should contact a dermatologist (ideally - a mycologist) with the symptoms of onychomycosis.After all, close people can be infected primarily because it is the most difficult to avoid in the family of close contact (and infection).
Independent treatment with pharmacological antimicosis, especially tablets, is not recommended.The tablets that the manufacturer preached as a fungal cutting weapon may have side effects that do not harm the patient- In addition, the pathogens of the disease can be various fungi.Only a doctor can choose pills that are as effective as possible in each lesion.And only one medical institution can identify the "enemy" laboratory research (scraper, sowing).
Risk factors for infection of nail fungus
It was noticed that children are practically not suffering from nail fungus, probably due to rapid nail growth.The risk age group begins from young people to very old age.Mushrooms more often affect people:
- Weakened immunity - chronic diseases, frequent colds, diabetes, HIV.
- It does not observe personal hygiene - walking in public places with increased risk of infection (baths, saunas, pools), wearing other people's shoes, using other people's households (towels, manicure supplements).
- In connection with patients with mycosis - if the family has a person with a mushroom on his nail.
Hand damage may occur due to frequent exposure to aggressive agents (detergents, detergents).Violation of the integrity of the nail plate and chemicals, and the formation of micro -nails on the nails facilitates the penetration of the fungus into the nail.
The fungus on the legs is delighted to accept the person who practices inappropriate shoes: a crowded, non -passing air that promotes sweating legs: a wet warm environment, and even the formation of microts, the formation of the legs and nails - is an ideal place for life.

The procedure is carried out in a hospital, which has a neglected form of disease.It is usually combined with surgical removal of thickened nails.In addition, this method is the ability to quickly cure onychomycosis.The disadvantage can be called a significant cost of the procedure.
External use funds to overcome mushrooms
The pharmaceutical industry produces ointments, sprays, tinctures to process the legs and nails.
The composition includes antimicoticism of the Alllam group or Azol drugs.Some of them have a broad action - successfully struggling with different forms of fungi and bacteria.Others can only affect a certain group of microorganisms, but with a strong fungicide effect (fungus - fungus, caedo - hug), unlike the less radical antifungal effect - slowing down and reproduction of pathogen fungi.
Ointments are applied 1-3 times daily to the affected nail plates and adjacent tissues.During the evening application (before going to bed), the treated area is packed in a film and wearing socks to increase the duration of the exposure and improve the effect.
Spray and liquid drugs are more modest: after applying you do not have to seduce your leg or sit for 40 minutes.With lubrication legs.After drying (after a few minutes) one can move without an unpleasant sensation of alkaline fingers.Occasionally, it is recommended to glue the nail surface in the commentary of liquid drugs after the leg treatment of the feet.
It is warranted to treat the mushrooms itself: only your doctor can choose a medicine that is optimally suitable for a particular patient.Advanced form, simultaneous infections, treatment of more than one species of fungus (dermatophytes often "help" yeast -shaped and mold fungi).All of these shades affect the dosage form (tablets, ointments, tinctures), dose, and the duration of treatment.
Treatment of nail fungus and legs is long (sometimes for 1 year), especially with extensive lesions and advanced forms of the disease.The fungal mycelium can penetrate deep into the fabric, making it black for years.It was even found in the periosteum, which indicates the severity of this disease and the need to carefully match the complete complex of the prescribed procedures.
