Onychomycosis-Damage on the nail with pathogenic mushrooms.According to various sources, from 10% to 30% of the world population suffers from nail mushrooms.It is possible that the reason for this in weak symptoms that do not disturb a person at the beginning of the infection.However, after the mushroom activity begins to cause inconveniences, its treatment becomes problematic.
How to recognize a foot mushroom
The primary symptoms are expressed by the itching around the nail, the inter -market area.In the future, there is an inflammation of the nail roller, skin ulceration between the fingers, pain.The failure damage begins with color changes, nail plate: point (white, yellow), stripes.The surface of the nail loses its shine, becomes similar to wave.If you do not pay attention to the problem, the affected nails are inspected and deformed so that they can no longer be hidden by any cosmetic method.
There are three phases of onychomycosis:
- Normorophic- minor points on the surface of the plate, keeping the thickness, shape, shine of the nail.
- Hypertrophic- The deep defeat causes the growth of the nail fabric, characterized by a loose structure, streaks similar to waves and crushed edges of the nail.
- Atrophic- The affected nail is rejected, on the nail bed there are deformed residues of the tissue nail tissue of an atypical color.
The mushroom is contrast, with symptoms of onychomycosis, it is necessary to contact a dermatologist (ideally - for a mycologist).After all, close people can be infected mainly, since the most difficult to avoid in the family of close contact (and infection).
An independent treatment with pharmacological antimicosis is not recommended, in particular those tablets.Tablets advertised by the manufacturer as a weapon to be slaughtered by the mushroom can have a side effect that does not damage the patient.In addition, disease pathogens can be different types of mushrooms.Only a doctor can choose tablets as effective as possible in each specific injury.And only in a medical institution is it possible to identify the "enemy" using laboratory research (scraping, sowing).
Risk factors for infection from a nail fungus
Note that children practically do not suffer from a nail fungus, probably due to the rapid growth of the nail.The age group starts from young people to old age.More often the mushroom affects people:
- With weakened immunity: chronic diseases, frequent colds, diabetes, HIV.
- Do not observe personal hygiene: walking in public places with an increased risk of infection (bathrooms, saunas, swimming pools) without a trafficking, wearing shoes from other people, using families of other people (towels, manicure accessories).
- In contact with patients with mycosis, if the family has a person with a fungus on nails.
The damage to the hand can occur due to the frequent exposure of aggressive agents (detergents, cleaning agents).The violation of the integrity of the plate for nails with chemicals, the formation of Microcrack on the nails facilitates the penetration of the mushroom in the nail.
The mushroom on the legs will be happy to settle in a person who practices the use of improper shoes: a narrow, non -passing air that promotes sweaty legs: a hot environment wet and also with the formation of Microcrack, the nets on the skin of the feet and nails - this is an ideal place for the life and reproduction of the mushroom.
Treatment with onhomicosis pharmacy
The treatment of the nail fungus exists in the form of taking drugs inside (tablets, capsules) and local exposure (ointments, bathrooms, compositions).For high quality treatment, a complete method is used: a combination of tablets and treatment with external means of the areas concerned.A particularly attentive and complete treatment requires a neglected nail fungus.
The treatment can last up to 1 year and include, among others, a general strengthening therapy: a balanced diet, vitamins, a good rest and a dream to increase body resistance.
Mushroom preparations for oral administration (orally)
The form of treatment with tablets and suspensions is convenient: it is not necessary to mess with the bathrooms, wear medications with a compress on the fingers.
ATTENTION: all the anti -mesh tablets kill not only a parasite, but also a useful microflora.The tablets can cause allergies, cause an exacerbation of a chronic disease.Therefore, it is impossible to use them alone.
Laser therapy
The procedure is performed in a hospital with a neglected shape of the disease.It is usually combined with the surgical removal of the interested party thickening of the nail.Furthermore, this method is the ability to quickly take care of the onychomycosis.The disadvantage can be defined as a considerable cost of the procedure.
Funds of external use to fight the mushroom
The pharmaceutical industry produces ointments, sprays, tinctures for the processing of feet and nails.
The composition includes antifungals of an allamic group or Azol drugs.Some of them have a wide range of actions: successfully fight with different forms of mushrooms and bacteria.Others can only influence a certain group of microorganisms, but have a strong fungicidal effect (mushroom - mushroom, caedo - killing), unlike a less radical fungistic effect - slowing down and reproduction of pathogenic mushrooms.
Ointments are applied from 1 to 3 times a day on plates for interested nails and adjacent fabrics.During the evening application (before bedtime), the treated area is wrapped in a film and wearing socks to increase the duration of the exposure, improve the effect.
Spray and liquid drugs are more without pretensions: after applying them, it is not necessary to attract the legs or sit for 40 minutes.With his feet smeared.After dried them (after a few minutes), a person can move without an unpleasant sensation of Alcalis fingers.Sometimes in annotations with liquid drugs, it is recommended to glue the surface of the nail with a waterproof or a bandage after treating your feet.
It is unreasonable to treat the mushroom yourself: only the doctor will be able to choose a drug that is optimally suitable for a particular patient.Treatment of an advanced form, concomitant infections, a fungus of more than one species (dermatophytes often "help" the mushrooms in the shape of a yeast and moldy).All these shades influence the choice of the form of dosage (tablets, ointments, dyes), dose, duration of the treatment.
The treatment of mushrooms and nails is long (sometimes up to 1 year), in particular with extensive injuries and advanced shapes of the disease.The mycelium of the mushrooms can penetrate deeply into the fabric, making its black action for years.It was also found in the Periosteo, which indicates the seriousness of this disease, the need to carefully respect the entire complex of the prescribed procedures.
Pre -proofing the feet
Before applying the prenatures - this applies to all the antifungal agents of external use: the legs are straightened in the water with the addition of sodium baking soda and salt, washed in a soap with soap (preferably tar).The imposed particles of nail are removed using scissors of manicure, tweezers, files.Subsequently, the legs are dried with a towel, brushes interested nails, the intercal area with hydrogen peroxide.
After the end of the work, the manicure set is treated with alcohol or any design so as not to be infected with its own tools.
Domestic recipes for the treatment of mycosis
