The nail fungus on his legs and foot fungus — very frequent disease. They meet every five inhabitants of our planet. The fungi are very tenacious, get rid of them is very difficult, treated need time. If the nail fungus, the treaty will be necessary until you grow back completely new healthy nail (up to a year). If the fungus on the skin of the foot, the need to help of a month and more.
Nail fungus is not only ugly and not aesthetically pleasing. In a later stage the fungus negatively affects the immune system. Covered in the blood of toxins, which appear during the life of pathogenic fungi. So there is no need to endure, to hide, to suffer. We need to treat. First identify the disease, faster and easier to get rid of him.
There are factors and the causes for which sick the fungus increased risk. It is rather "collect" the fungus, if in feet, toes You have any wounded, calluses, abrasion. These can be the cause of tight shoes, uncomfortable. Also get hurt when pedicure at home, and in the cabin.
Weak immune system may also be due to fungal infection of the nail.
Under conditions of poor personal hygiene easy to get a "surprise". For example, often the guys in the army get sick of mushrooms. Wash the feet every day, change your socks every day. If your feet sweat a lot, we have to use special means of sweat.
Also the frequent use of antibiotics can lead to disease the fungus.
The fungi that affect the legs, can be different. To find out which fungus has hit is for You, you must do the test for the sowing. When the mushrooms sprout in the laboratory to verify which drugs are able to kill them. In this case, the treatment will be effective, because once You will affect the fungus, the medication appropriate.
Very often many processed, choosing the drug of advertising or by reading the reviews on the internet. In reality, the same medicine can cure one, and the other does not bring any result, as well as the mushrooms are all different. From this and discussions on the internet about the effectiveness of different anti-fungal medications.
Often infected by a fungus from a diseased person. A third of the cases the infection occurs from a close relative, with you live together. Sharing slippers, small scissors, set of sponges, and other objects very strongly increases the risk of infection.
It is also easy to "meet" the spores of the fungi in public places: at the pool, beach, steam room, and sauna. With high humidity, the probability of infection is greatly increased. In particular, if the legs are injured, even if small. The spores of the fungus is very tenacious, may a couple of months, persist in the sand.
In general, the risk are all the places where You walk barefoot. And also someone else's shoes. Even if the person to whom the shoes they put on, do not get sick from a fungus, can be a carrier of pathogenic flora.
The first manifestation of a foot fungus may begin as a peeling. Then look carefully at his feet, in time to take the necessary measures.
There are three stages of the disease by a fungus. In the first stage of nail fungus may not notice. Appear small spots or stripes slightly yellowish. The thickness of the nail remains the same. Many people, after watching a "harmless" speck, not even paying attention to him. But if you combine the treatment, you can quickly get rid of the intruder. And is not only faster, but also more cheaply, as well as treatment for the fungus to expensive "pleasure".
In a second phase, and a small spot begins to grow in size. This happens slowly and gradually. Change point color, becomes white or yellow, same as the nail thickens, and becomes pasty. Alone you can get rid of mildew at this stage, if You chose to medicines or folk remedies, that are harmful to pathogenic microorganisms.
Great the probability of cure of the popular ways, if the nail amazed to 1/3, no more.
In the third phase, the fungus covers the whole nail. Color hit the nail turns yellow or grey, crumbly structure, with empty. The fungus in this case already caught on very well not only on the nail, but below him. Get rid of mold in this phase more difficult, you'll need a lot of time and money. In this phase, necessarily, take the pill and use local means. Among the ointments, and paints is not enough.
In case of doubt, the fungus if you have a nail, you can perform this test. Take manganese, dissolve in water. In this solution, keep the suspected disease the nail a few minutes. Then evaluate the results. Healthy nails turn brown after the procedure. Fungal stain will remain the prior color.
The first sign of a foot fungus — skin desquamation and dryness. This can participate itching and redness. But before that, very often, it all starts with a peeling between the toes.
When a fungus of the foot, an unpleasant odor coming from sweating (worse than usual). In some cases, they may appear as bubbles, which are constantly scratched, even streets.
If Your feet are succeeded by changes, such as cracking, itching, dryness, then, it is time to start the treatment. In the early stages, you can manage gels and ointments.
Soon the fungus reaches the nail, when already it is better to consult the doctor.
Athlete's foot can complicate eczema or psoriasis, which implies a mandatory visit to a dermatologist.
In the case where hit is not more than 2 nails, the nail affected by a fungus not more than 1/3, it is possible to use different local means.
Before applying the external tool, you need to clean your nail, remove all looseness, the nail has become thin. So the tool works better. In this handle with the scissors, not to get hurt. In the case of injury, the fungus can settle in even deeper.
In more advanced cases, it is necessary to take the pills together with paints or ointments.
Tablets many, alone is better not to choose these medicines. In the first place, can not be selected pills. In the second place, all the pills from a fungus, very toxic, are very damaging to the liver, and the kidneys. Not incontrollable need to take these medicines. In parallel, they still need to drink something to support the liver. Also, you should read it with attention, and with which drugs you can combine the selected doctor the pill (the doctor may not pay attention to this). And watch contraindications of the assigned tablets.
The treatment is carried out until it grows a healthy nail.
I'll write in more effective ways to treat nail fungus. These funds home treatments are effective in the early stages of the disease. Remember that the treatment should be long, from 2 weeks to several months.
This method is the simplest and very popular. Need to clean, dry nail to smear iodine (with a cotton ball) twice a day. Healthy adjacent nails also need smear for the prevention of three times a week. After a week you may feel a slight burning sensation in the patients nails. On this type of a lot of positive feedback. The only disadvantage of the color yellow — nail for all this time.
Before applying this tool, the skin around the patient's nail need to apply a nourishing cream or salicylic ointment. Then on the nail, put a piece of acid kombucha, roll cellophane package and with a blindfold on. From top to wear socks. Leave it overnight, in the morning cut the thickness of a fingernail. When you use this method, people emphasize strong enough the pain.
The procedure is performed before going to sleep. Ill nail soap foam, from the top, sprinkled with salt, and wrap. Repeat these steps in a matter of a week.
Pathogenic micro-organisms die in acid environment. The vinegar is considered to be quite an effective tool for combating the nail fungus. It is important to take not only the vinegar and the acetic acid 70%. Mix it with glycerin in equal parts. This mixture of lubrication affected nails twice a day. Give the mixture to dry completely. The treatment is carried out three weeks.
In this way, it is not curative. But it helps to soften the nail, remove layers of solids that interfere with the medicines to penetrate deeper. Then the council do the bathrooms before you apply it on your nails ointments, or sprays. In a bowl, pour the hot water. Is the hot well to the steam and the nails. In this water dissolve three tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate to 7 litres of water) and grate the tar or soap (also about 3 tablespoons. tablespoons). Soap good dissolve in water. In this solution, the steam feet, trim nails. Feet dry apply the medicine. Spends the trays 2 times a week.
I want to say that all traditional methods are not recognized by official medicine.
And another note. During the treatment the shoes need treatment antifungal aerosol or the vinegar with the inner part. Also draw up a bathroom antimicrobial means at least once a week.
