The mushroom is not an harmless disorder at all.Not only ruin the appearance of the legs, but also undermines human health, pushes its immune system.Usually two phases of nail mushrooms are distinguished.At the beginning it is easy not to notice it.The first signs of problems are usually:
- small white points on the nails;
- change in the form of the nail;
- the appearance of white stripes;
- fragility of the nail;
- By changing the surface, it can become rigid and ribbed.
The skin around the nail often blushes and snorts.In the advanced phase, the color of the nail plate changes, becomes rude and more often, the nail begins to crumble.Gradually, the mushroom can spread to nearby nails.According to statistics, 15% of the population suffers from fungal diseases or is its carrier.Very often, the nail mushroom infection occurs where a person is washed, but it is impossible to exclude the transmission through the articles for the home: slippers, socks, shoes, "says a dermatologist. - aggravate the course of a fungal disease, young people focus on the trucks by diabetics. Standing, since the metabolic processes in their body flow quickly, but the elderly are very at risk.
Treatment of the nail fungus
The treatment of the nail fungus is engaged in a dermatologist.In the initial phase of the disease, there may be quite external treatment, but if the moment has been missing and the mushrooms popped up in the bed of the plate for nails, more serious therapy will be necessary.In this case, the process of treatment of the nail fungus will take 3-6 months and will be accompanied by the use of special products.Which drug prescribe, a dermatologist will determine based on tests.The problems with the nails on the legs can cause different types of mushrooms and approaches to the treatment will be different depending on the pathogen.It is determined using the cultural method or sowing.
Effective medicines and ointments
The advertising convinces us that you can treat nail fungus with paints and ointments, but doctors do not guarantee success from this car -Media.Firstly, they can help in the initial stages and, secondly, on condition of unraveling you in the ointment that is effective against your pathogen.To treat the nail fungus on the legs in an advanced phase, system drugs will be needed.Before using creams and ointments against the mushroom, I recommend you to make hygienic washes.Make a bag from the soda solution: 1 tablespoon for 3 cups of water.The temperature should be comfortable, but not exceed 36 ° C. It is necessary to steam the feet-25-30 minutes.Then dry the skin and nails thoroughly.Before applying the cream, using the coil patch, creates a "frame" around the nail interested.This is necessary for the product to fall exactly on a very rough layer of the nail plate and not on the delicate skin on which irritation will appear, "explains the dermatologist, a doctor of the highest category.
Popular remedies
Popular remedies can help in the treatment of the nail fungus, but on condition that your dermatologist has approved them.Otherwise, there is the risk of launching the disease and, in the worst case, completely losing the nail.Generally, popular remedies are prescribed together with drugs.In my practice, the treatment of the nail fungus using propolis was quite success.The patient have been prescribed systemic substances that suppress the vital activity of microscopic mushrooms and an alcohol tincture of 15 % of propolis for external use.It has a beneficial effect on the immunity and action of a substance that suppresses the vital activity of microscopic mushrooms.After three months of treatment, the skin has been completely restored, "says the dermatologist. But a preliminary conversation is needed with a doctor, since the same tool can help someone and the other can cause dermatitis.
What to do if the mushroom does not pass?
It happens that several months of mushroom treatment have no effect: the disease remains and healthy nails grow too slowly.So, first of all, the experts will recommend changing antifungals of another group in antifungals and writing medicines that stimulate the growth of the nail plate.If neither external or systemic therapy, nor change of drugs help, this is a serious reason for hospitalization.In rare cases, when observing the bacterial infection, it is possible to show an operation to remove the nail plate.
Prevention of nail mushrooms at home
The prevention of the nail fungus on the legs is mainly reduced to personal hygiene.If the legs do not wash for a long time, allow them to sweat, the risk of developing the mushroom will increase significantly.Very often, this disorder is collected in public bathrooms: bathrooms, saunas, showers of fitness centers.Experts advise to reintegrate and wear slippers in such places and apply the barrier cream.The penetration of mushrooms in the skin is facilitated by abrasions, cracks on the feet and also not thoroughly drying the legs after the water procedures, therefore it is necessary to carefully monitor the conditions of the feet.If you have already met your nail fungus and you have passed it, the risk of recurrence remains.Some other rules will help reduce it:
- Clean the skin once every two or three weeks with means containing antifungal drugs, salicylic alcohol or acidified with vinegar or lemon juice;
- Dresses disinfects, bed linen, can be boiled or ironed with a hot iron;
- less often wearing synthetic clothes;
- More often they change personal hygiene objects, for example canvas and sponges.
