Change the shape, color of the nail, peeling, dryness, flaking – do you know mushroom. Getting stopped, quickly mastered, it feels good, and multiply under the nail plate, feeding on keratin, which. Gradually, the fungal mycelium grows and eventually destroys the nails. Then to solve the situation, the only external devices I will be – you will need comprehensive medical treatment, the use of pills, sometimes IUDS (if the doctor-mycologist will find the angle, mold).
But so far, not been achieved, the fungus managed to conquer only the edge of the nail plate, affecting no more than 2/3 of the surface, then the strike ahead of the curve, kill the anti-fungal drops.
How to choose an effective cure for foot fungus?
Before you start to heal get drop of nail fungus, you need to understand what a parasite. Often uninvited guests – the representatives of the three classes of fungi:
- dermatophytes fight them, is an effective drug on the basis of the aso is, allilamin;
- Candida die after the interaction of poly should antimicotice, including drugs nystatin group;
- mold – a powerful enemy who is afraid to just antimicotica the class echinocandins.
Recognize the fungus on the external features:
- Dermatophytes are starting to "eat" the nail free edge, gradually moving in the hole. Disc turns yellow, becomes rigid, wavy, begins hyperkeratosis – increased thickness of the nail.
- Candida behaves differently. This is the first strike of the nail, at the base, begins to deteriorate, close to the research, and the fungus grows to the edges. The disc is yellow, is white, but woman is the fungus destroys the cells responsible for nail growth.
- Mold is caused by the disc, to darken, to be covered with dark spots, stripes. In fact, rarely limited to just one nail. Quickly destroy, the mold proceeds to the soft tissue.
So mushrooms have to behave according to the scenario of medical textbooks, but in practice, distinguish dermatophytes Candida one of the only external signs are not always even the experienced dermatologist. The latent phase of the fungal infection can occur to many years to classify the mushroom at the beginning is very difficult.
That's why you need to decide which active substance is used to treat, therefore, what drops to take, just the doctor, but only after receiving the conclusion of the laboratory. So don't be surprised if the reception to the dermatologist to scrape the nail. The obtained spores in the laboratory increases, it will become clear that the fungus is installed in the leg.
Drops of the nail fungus
- Drops terbinafine hydrochloride to cope with all the type of fungus of the nail. This means that the fungus is not installed on the foot fungus, mold or dermatophytes – terbinafine-hydrochloride-sooner or later, to overcome (the average duration of treatment – 6 months drops twice a day).
- Decreases the active ingredient amorolfine. Affect the synthesis of sterols, which are collectively the cells of the fungus. To interfere with this process, amorolfine is gradually changing the structure, then destroy. The most effectively cope with the members of the genus Candida.
- Drop material from allilamin – naftifin. In particular, it affects the cells of dermatophytes but these fungi 8: 10 cases nest inside of the nail plate.
Ointment fungus
Innovative means to fight the fungus, the composition contains only natural ingredients, which completely eliminates the side effects. The active substance of the drug usually accumulates in the body, which increases the immunity and reduces risks reinfestation. This tool is completely safe and allows you to quickly get rid of the fungus.
Some ointments most contain synthetic acid, which, together with the fungus damage the healthy tissue and cause toxicity to pain.
How does the treatment against fungal nail.
Depending on the type of active substance, which is part of the drug drops anti fungal nail work, in two ways:
- To destroy the structure, the cells of which the fungus a fungicidal effect.
- It slows down the process of cell division, by not letting them of the type of fungistatic.
Products fungicidal effect working against the adult form of the fungus, but are powerless against fungal spores. While the drop fungistatic action destroy young form. It is obvious that the to destroy the fungus mycelium, which was incorporated into the nail plate, it is possible that only those drugs, which is both fungicidal, fungistatic effect. Fortunately, most of today's drop in the on both fronts. However, to understand the pharmacological properties of the drug, and need medical attention.
There drops another strong point – not just to destroy the fungal organisms, but also prevents the spread of pathogenic processes in the surrounding tissues. So, as I suspect, nail fungus immediately into action to start the treatment drops. By the way, the mycelium penetrates the lateral skin rollers, and then spread to the whole leg, not just long systemic treatment, pills, ointments.
Among other things, anti-fungal drops:
- to relieve the inflammation;
- has antimicrobial effects;
- contributing to the rapid recovery of the affected tissues.
How to apply a drop of nail fungus?
The only difficulty associated with the use of drops, to the patient, as generally, it's hard to drip directly on the affected area. The fact that the vast majority of cases, the fungus lives under the nail plate can't be there in the external resources – ointments, creams, varnishes, drops hard. So that the active substance directly reaches the target, the treatment was really effective, the patient must adhere to certain recommendations.
- How to steam feet a special bath. A great solution is the use of antiseptic – iodine, potassium permanganate, soda, soap. You can experiment with decoction, infusion, herbs. Effective fungus, milkweed, marigold, chamomile, essential oil, sea salt.
- If the nail has started to flake off the nail bed, free edge should be cut, and the surface is disk sanded with a nail file.
- If the fungus affected a large part of the nail, then it makes sense, remove it. For this purpose, special solutions, which gradually softens the plate, then some application can be painless to remove.
Indications, contraindications
Treatment of onychomycosis drops, just in the early stage of the disease. It is characterized by such symptoms:
- yellowish, the nail plate one edge or the base;
- the thickened nail, there will be heavy equipment, shredder;
- the surface loses light, healthy pink color;
- the nail becomes undulatis, it seems, longitudinal stripes;
- she hit her head on the disk is stratified, separate from the nail bed.
The clinical picture may not change for several years, all through the disease in the latent phase, the healthy immune system does not allow mycelium to spread inland. But even a small reduction, the immune system is able to disease is a new impetus and the nail will begin to deteriorate very quickly.
If the mushroom mycelium takes over 2/3 of the nail plate, cure onychomycosis drops already. To get rid aggressive, the parasite will only be possible after a long course combination therapy. But it is worth noting that most antifungal tablets is contraindicated in pregnancy or during lactation, children up to 12 years. I never prescribed to the chronic diseases of the kidney, and the endocrine system.
About ointments, creams, drops, there are also limitations, but less restrictive, because the external antifungal money in circulation, not more than 6% of the active substance.
Prevention of nail fungus on feet
According to the statistics, 35% of patients become infected with a fungus, in the comfort of your home. The risk families in which older persons live. They are the most prone to fungal infections as a result of natural age-related changes occurring in their body. Decreased immunity, atrophic disease is limited blood flow caused by epidemics, infections of the nail.
To protect the rest of the family, I don't walk around the house, barefoot, and wearing the wrong shoes. Patients a separate foot towel and in the bathroom it is better to stand your own rubber mat. By the way, the mushroom house pet dogs suffering from athlete's foot as often as the owners.
Inter alia, the most likely place of infection: public baths, pools, water parks, gyms. To protect yourself from the mold the wet conditions, high concentrations of people is almost impossible. The best solution is to strike ahead of the curve and starting to use antifungal agents before infection.
For example, regularly covers the nails of the hands or feet special fungicidal varnish. It dries quickly, has no contraindications, side effects. At the top, easy to apply simple nail manicure.
Don't forget: a rare fungus attaches itself to the people with a strong immune system. Pay attention to the healthy lifestyle, eat a full, time to make up the deficiency, the vitamins, enough sleep – then mushrooms won't have a chance!
