Nail fungus is a common infectious disease that affects the legs of the legs.Many people from all over the world suffer from this disease because the fungus is unpredictable.It can appear in any person, regardless of gender, age, purity or season.Of course, there are factors that stimulate its appearance, but they are all obvious and approach other infections.
Consider the process of fungal treatment, tap on prevention and traditional medicine.We will analyze situations that need to be avoided in order not to provoke fungal formations.Remember that the disease is distributed to family members.The sooner you decide to heal it quickly, the less likely you are to harm your loved ones.

The effectiveness of the treatment of fungal diseases is inversely proportional to the degree of infection.In other words, the earlier the patient notices the disease, the faster he will be able to get rid of it quickly.The domestication is devastating, and the fungus can destroy the structure of the nail in the shortest possible time.
If a member of your family, which has the usual use of common bathrooms or slippers, has already found the presence of the disease, the others should be checked immediately.
- The initial stage- The first signs of infection are not detected for a person.Probably the patient will not have time to start treatment early.You can only see transparent white formations under your nails under a microscope under laboratory conditions.
- The second stage- After Mikoz has developed and has not received attention from the person, he begins to deform the nail.Small hooks appear on the nail and are tangible for touch.No pain or color change.
- The third stage- At this stage, the nail becomes yellow.Most patients see a doctor exactly during this period, which is quite logical.You can still heal at home.
- The fourth stage- If someone ignored the disease and did not take action to get rid of it, the final stage will come.The nail starts folding and becomes completely yellow.The skin around the nail dries, begins to peel, and earns an unhealthy shadow.An unpleasant rotten smell appears.
Each section can be managed.However, it should be understood that the process of treating the fourth stage will be painful, long and expensive.
Symptoms of infection
The initial symptoms of the disease are very vague.It is impossible to identify the first stage except their own limbs and no one is involved in normal life.Women who painted their nails on their feet should be particularly difficult.They will not detect the mushrooms until more obvious signs appear.
Nevertheless, you need to know the symptoms.If it does not work to identify the infection rather than in the first stage, the second is possible.The sooner the better for the patient and the household.

- The unnatural color of the nail- At first it didn't become yellow, but there is any change.First of all, the surface loses its transparency, the color increases and becomes dense.If you compare the color of a healthy nail plate on one foot, one leg and the other with the color of the infected color, you may notice the differences in the shades.In the future, the patient will be actively yellow, and this process is no longer impossible to notice;
- The thickening of the nail- First, the smooth surface is covered with small grooves, then deformed, loses softness and thickens constantly.Touched, feel like a coarse stone;
- Skin irritation- Mycoses can work comprehensively, and the skin is suffering beside the nail.At first, weak itching and then peeling.The epidermis becomes solid, loses humidity and covered with micro -fractures;
- Destroying the nail plate- Such a symptom appeared when the presence of a fungus is obvious.The destruction occurs after thickening and significant deformation.During this period, it is important not to try to clean the layering or cut, it can greatly injure and crush the disc;
- Stratification- This symptom is not the most common, it manifests itself in people whose body has no phosphorus and calcium.Fungal formations can stimulate the stratification, but they are not the cause of them.
Even if there are other changes in the nail plates or skin, visit the mycologist and dermatologist to determine the pathology.
Medicines used to treat infection
There are many types of mycosis, the treatment methods differ, although the principle of infection is the same.Contact the mycologist, you will take a number of tests to provide the most effective treatment algorithm.
The most effective tool, despite all statements from people's healers, is medicines.Among them are the use of tablets, ointments and varnishes that are aimed at the death of the fungus and the restoration of the human immune system.However, folk drugs can help, but a little later.
Tablets
Before you get to know the tablets, it is worth saying that each affects 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 will be effective in treating fungi in the internal organs such as lungs, stomachs, throats or intestines.Nail fungus is also treated with tablets, but complete treatment is combined with ointments, drops or varnishes.
The choice of tablets should be entrusted to a specialist.The competent micologist will analyze not only the type of fungus and the degree of damage, but also the other characteristics of the body, such as allergic reactions and analysis of related diseases.
Ointment
Antimicose ointments are significantly higher than adults and children, as they are applied directly to the affected nail.The best ointments for widespread action are considered the best that allows you not to perform tests for the fungus type, but to continue treatment immediately.
Lacquer
Therapeutic anti -fungal varnishes are different from all other ways to combat the disease, as they remain in an infected location for a long time.The ointment is absorbed and lubricated, and the tablets are a long way from the stomach to the place.The varnish is applied once and does not require attention for a few days in a row.
There are not many varnishes.Different analogues copy only two main riders.Buy varnishes in pharmacies based on your doctor's recommendation.If you choose you, you can get a healthy nail screen, but have undermined immunity and cause fungus distribution.
Treatment with folk medicine

Treatment folk medicine is the most controversial medical term in recent decades.On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies do not want to lose money and ensure that people are ineffective.On the other hand, the connectors of folk methods indicate that we should not feed pharmacists.Who is right?
True is somewhere in the middle.If you notice, most of the drugs listed above are contraindicated in pregnant women and children.How can you?Natural safe treatment methods are saved.If you normally bear the ointments and tablets, use them because their benefits are definitely more than harm.Folk medicine does not fill the immune system, but does not heal so effectively.Usually it is better to combine both, but within reasonable limits.
Vinegar
The main task of vinegar in the treatment of mycosis is to create an acidic environment that prevents the debate.As soon as the fungus loses the ability to reproduce and eat new tissues, it begins to die.In order not to harm your health, you should use 9%of the vinegar to 9%to avoid burns.What treatment methods can be used?
- Baths with vinegar- Heat the water to warm condition, not warm.Add 150-200 ml of vinegar to the water.The resulting solution must completely cover the leg.Grease it three times a week within twenty minutes.After the procedure, you do not need to wash your legs in water, just wipe it off with a dry towel.
- Drowned cotton pads- This method complements the first.Immediately after the vinegar bath, you can moisten the cotton pads with vinegar and apply it to the sore site for 10-15 minutes.The cotton pad can also be moistened with vodka and glycerol, and efficiency will be higher.
- Create vinegar ointment- You do not have to have a desktop, but 70% vinegar essence.For 20 grams of essence, you should add 10 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of glycerin and 10 grams of dimethyllate solution.Apply the resulting ointment to a sore place and take 7 hours.After the procedure, the legs should be thoroughly washed with household or tar soap.Repeat the procedure daily to achieve best results.
Vinegar is very effective as a further stimulant.When using tablets or ointments, vinegar increases their effectiveness.If you use a varnish, you have to deny the vinegar because the varnish is constantly on the nail, the vinegar can damage the layer.
Tea tree oil
The antiseptic properties of tea tree oil allow you to cope with various skin diseases and pathogens such as nail fungus.
- Cotton bench and butter- Moisten the cotton wool or cotton pad with the air of a tea tree and apply it on the sore spot three times a day.Efficiency can be observed after 2-3 months, provided the treatment will be complex with medicines.
- Mixture of oils- Mix 5 drops of tea tree oil with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 3 drops of thyme oil.Rub the resulting mixture into the nail plate and underneath.
- Baths with soda and tea tree oil- Add 10 drops of tea tree oil, a tablespoon of soda and a spoonful of salt to warm water, preferably to the sea.Daily baths help rapid cope of tablets and ointments with the disease.
The antiseptic is able to stop the development of the fungus, but not kill.Do not use tea tree oil.As a single way of treatment, provide good help with tablets or ointments.
Hydrogen -peroxide
Hydrogen -peroxide is antiseptic with antibacterial and antifungal effects.
- Lotes-We use a 3% peroxide solution, moisten the cotton pad and the injury is moistened three times a day.
- Baths with peroxide-100 ml of hydrogen -peroxide should be mixed with a concentration of 3% with two liters of warm water and then holds the foot in the water for at least 15 minutes.Repeat the procedure daily with other drugs.
- Peroxide with vinegar- Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are mixed in the same proportion.The resulting solution should be applied to the affected area and wait until the solution the solution is.Spring tells us that the chemical process of interaction with infection occurs.
- Peroxide and soda- 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of soda, rogue vinegar, a tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoons peroxide.You should obtain a fascinating mixture, which should be applied to the nail for 30-40 minutes daily.
Peroxide works in the same way as tea tree oil.Efficiency depends on the unique characteristics of the body.Do not use antiseptic as the main treatment, only as a complement to pharmaceutical drugs.
Other recipes for traditional medicine
There are many ways to treat various diseases by folk methods.We have examined the main methods of getting rid of the previous stages in previous stages, and it is time to illuminate the less popular but not less effective tools.
- Onion- The onion metal contains a natural antiseptic.The recipe is simple: to unlock the onion in equal proportions, with cakes and warm water, then wipe the affected angle daily.
- Propolis- The healing properties of propolis are used in many stages of medicine.Effective treatment method: Grate your nails with the propolis alcoholic solution and then tie your leg.The procedure should be done for one month daily.
- Celandine- Celandine juice contains toxic components that are destroying mycosis and safe for people.Wipe the infection location with Celandine Juice once a day.
Each of the folk methods presented is effective, use what you like more or that it is appropriate to any criteria.Keep in mind that treatment requires an integrated approach to treatment, along with medicines, otherwise the result will not be the best.
Ways to remove the affected nail
Treatment of any disease means two parallel stages - treating causes and removing the consequences.In addition to treating the fungus itself, the elimination of the affected nail plate should also be eliminated so as not to infect a healthy part.
Nail removal methods are different, some are effective but painful.Analyze the most appropriate methods for the best choice.
Mechanical technique
This technique requires a fair part of the courage from the patient without jokes.Mechanical technique involves the removal of the nail with cosmetic scissors.
- Steaming- The legs should be placed in warm water for 20-30 minutes.
- Operation- The patient independently removes the layer to the open body.
The method is considered morally outdated.We strongly recommend that you leave it under all circumstances.There is no objective reason for using this method.
Special tools
Modern drugs allow you to relieve my nails without pain, obviously softening it.The nail is separated from the tissue in a few days and the plate itself disappears.
The methods include folk methods, but we do not recommend them.It is better to entrust such a dangerous procedure to the drugs so that they do not suffer from pain later.
Surgical removal

Surgical surgery is usually prescribed for patients who are impossible to overcome the disease with outpatient methods.Most often these are quite advanced cases where iodine and soda will no longer help.
How the surgical operation takes place:
- Local anesthesia- The patient is directly in the finger.
- Cutting the nail- Either the injured part is removed, or the entire plate is entirely completely if Mikoz has already reached the cuticle.
- Antibiotic- Immediately after surgery, your finger should be wrapped in a gel with an antibiotic and dressed twice a day for two hours every hour.The new nail is growing in six to twelve months.
Surgery is a very painful procedure, especially in the first days after surgery.Shipping the tissue of the bare finger provokes the attacks of the strongest pain.
Prevention of infection
It is completely impossible to protect the fungus, there is no preventive measure that saves you from the penetration of the infection, except for special pills for the fungus.But no one will use them constantly unnoticed because they negatively affect the condition of the liver and kidneys.
There are recommendations that can partly protect you.Follow them at least in part to avoid falling into the risk zone.
- Public baths and saunas- Try not to attend events where different people have barefoot.Each of them can potentially hand over the disease without knowing it.
- Beach- Everyone on the beach goes barefoot or open shoes, which allows the infection to penetrate the body almost freely.Try to wash your feet with household soap after visiting the beach.
- Other people slippers- You will visit, they offer slippers.Do it, go to the socks.They will not condemn this, tell me you are not cold.And don't be afraid to offend anyone, people are most often not interested and can save themselves from the potential danger.

The fungus requires a close relationship with the body to infect, so take care of its leg, keep in a closed state and observe hygiene.
To cure mycosis, you need to determine its type, the degree of infection, and choose the appropriate delivery methods.Everyone can choose their own method, but we recommend that you contact the professionals to get quick and high quality results.
