Treatment of nail fungus at home

Nail fungus is a common infectious disease that affects the legs on the legs.A large number of people around the world suffer from this disease as the fungus is unpredictable.It can appear in any person, regardless of gender, age, cleanliness or season.Of course, there are factors that stimulate its appearance, but they are all obvious and approach other infections.

Consider the process of treating fungi, touch the problems of prevention and traditional medicine.We will analyze situations that need to be avoided in order not to provoke the development of fungal formations.Remember that the disease is transmitted to family members.The earlier you decide to cure it quickly, the less you are likely to harm your loved ones.

Stages of the disease (photo)

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 it can quickly get rid of it.Dodograms are destructive, the fungus can at the shortest possible time destroy the structure of the nail.

If a member of your family, in which it is customary to use common baths or slippers, has already revealed the presence of illness, then the rest should be checked immediately.

• Initial stageSThe first signs of infection are not noticeable for a person.Most likely, the patient will not have time to start treatment at an early stage.Only under laboratory conditions with the help of a microscope can you see transparent white formations under the nail.
• The second stageSAfter Micosis has been developed and does not receive attention from man, he begins to deform the nail.Small channels appear on the nail, tangible.There is no pain as well as changes in color.
• The third stageSAt this stage, the nail begins to turn yellow.Most patients see a doctor exactly during this period, which is quite logical.You can still treat at home.
• The fourth stageSIf a person ignores the disease and does not take action to get rid of it, the last stage comes.The nail begins to bend and yellow completely.The skin around the nails dries, begins to peel off and acquires an unhealthy hue.An unpleasant rotten odor appears.

Each of the stages is treated.But it must 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 unclear.It is impossible to identify the first stage except to look at their own limbs and no one deals with this in ordinary life.Women who paint their nails on their feet will have to be particularly difficult.They will not find the sponge until more obvious signs appear.

However, you need to know the symptoms.If it does not work to identify the infection and not in the first stage, then the second is already possible.The earlier, the better for the patient and his household.

• Unnatural color of the nailSIt doesn't turn yellow at first, but there are already changes.First, the surface loses its transparency, the color increases, becomes thick.If you compare the color of the healthy nails of one leg in the forehead with one leg with the color of the infected color from the other, then you can notice the differences in the shades.In the future, the patient will be active yellow, this process is no longer impossible to notice;
• NailSFirst, the smooth surface is covered with small channels, then deformed, loses softness and constantly thickens.When he touches, he feels like a rough stone;
• Skin irritationSMycoses can act in complete, in addition to the nail, the skin also suffers.At first, it can be weak itching, then peel off.The epidermis becomes firm, loses humidity and is covered with micro -cracks;
• Nail destructionSSuch a symptom is manifested when the presence of a fungus is already obvious.Destruction occurs after thickening and significant deformation.During this period it is important not to try to clean layering or cutting, you can significantly damage and lubricate the plate;
• StratificationSThis symptom is not the most common, manifested in those people whose body has no phosphorus and calcium.Fungal entities can stimulate stratification, but they are not its root cause.

Even if you have not manifested any of the symptoms described, but there are other changes in the condition of nail or skin plaques, visit a mycologist and dermatologist to determine the pathology.

Medicines to treat infection

There are many types of mycosis, treatment methods differ, although the principle of infection is the same.Contact the mycologist, he will perform a number of tests to offer the most effective algorithm for treatment.

The most effective means, despite all the allegations of human healers, are pharmaceuticals.Among them, it is appropriate to use tablets, ointments and varnishes aimed at the death of the fungi and the restoration of the human immune system.However, folk remedies are able to help, but for them a little later.

Pills

Before you get acquainted with the pills, it is worth saying that they all affect the condition of the liver.For a healthy person, this is not critical, but if you have liver problems, then choose other methods.

The tablets will be effective in the treatment of fungi formed in internal organs such as lungs, stomach, throat or intestine.The nail fungus is also treated with tablets, but for full treatment they are combined with ointments, drops or varnishes.

The choice of tablets must be entrusted to a specialist.The competent mycologist will analyze not only the type of fungi and the degree of damage, but also other characteristics of your body, such as allergic reactions and related diseases.

Ointment

Antifungal ointments in their effectiveness are significantly exceeding adult and children tablets, as they are applied directly to the affected nail.The best ointments of a wide range of action are considered to be the best, which allow you not to take tests for the type of fungi, but to move to treatment immediately.

Lacquers

Therapeutic antifungal varnishes differ from all other ways to combat the disease as they remain in an infected place for a long time.The iron is absorbed and lubricated, the tablets go long from the stomach to the place.The elbow is applied once and does not require attention for several days in a row.

There are not many varnishes.The different analogues copy only two major competitors.Buy varnishes at pharmacies on the recommendations of a doctor.If you choose yourself, you can get not a healthy nail canvas, but undermined immunity and cause the distribution of fungi.

Folk remedies

The folk remedy is the most reflective medical term in recent decades.On the one hand, drug manufacturers do not want to lose money and assure people that folklore agents are not effective.On the other hand, supporters of folk methods show that we should not feed the pharmacists.Who is right?

Real lies somewhere in the middle.If you notice, then most of the medicines listed early are contraindicated in pregnant women and children.How do I be?Natural methods of safe treatment are saved.If you withstand ointments and tablets normally, then use them because the benefits of them are definitely more than harm.The folk medicine does not charge the immune system, but does not cure as effectively.In general, it is better to combine both, but within reason.

Vinegar

The main task of vinegar in the treatment of mycoses is to create an acidic environment that will prevent a dispute.As soon as the fungus loses the ability to reproduce and eat new fabrics, it will start to die.In order not to harm your health, you need to use a table of vinegar up to 9%to avoid burns.What treatment methods can be used?

• Vinegar bathsSHeat the water to a warm state, not hot.Add 150-200 ml vinegar to the water.The resulting solution should completely cover the legs.Grease within twenty minutes three times a week.After the procedure, you do not need to wash your feet in water, just wipe them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
• Drowned cotton padsSThis method is additional for the first.Immediately after the vinegar bath, you can moisten cotton pads with vinegar and apply to the inflamed area for 10-15 minutes.The cotton pad can also be moistened with extra vodka and glycerin, the efficiency will be higher.
• Creating a vinegar ointmentSYou will not need to mass for table, but 70% vinegar.For 20 grams you should add 10 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of glycerin and 10 grams of dimethylphtolate solution.Apply the resulting ointment to a sore spot and save 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 an additional stimulant.If you use tablets or ointment, vinegar will increase their effectiveness.If you use varnish, you will need to refuse vinegar as the elbow is on the nail constantly, vinegar can damage its layer.

Tea tree

The antiseptic properties of tea tree oil allow it to deal with various skin diseases as well as pathogens, such as nail fungus.

• Cotton pad and butterSWrap a cotton wool or cotton pad with tea tree air and apply to a sore spot 3 times a day.Efficiency can be observed after 2-3 months, provided that treatment will be complicated with medication.
• OilSMix 5 drops of tea tree oil with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 3 drops of thyme oil.Rub the resulting mixture into and below the nails.
• Soda baths and oily tea treeSAdd 10 drops of tea tree oil, a tablespoon of baking soda and a spoonful of salt to warm water, preferably sea.Daily baths will help tablets and ointments quickly deal with the disease.

The antiseptic is able to stop the development of the fungi, but not to kill it.Do not use tea tree oil.As a single treatment, let it be a good help for pills or ointments.

Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is an antiseptic that has an antibacterial and antifungal effect.

• Lots of peroxideSA 3% peroxide solution is used, the cotton pad is moistened and the damage is moistened 3 times a day.
• Peroxide bathsSIt is necessary to mix 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 3% with two liters of warm water and then keep your feet in water for at least 15 minutes.Repeat the procedure daily in combination with other medicines.
• Peroxide with vinegarSHydrogen peroxide and vinegar are mixed in the same proportions.The resulting solution should be applied to the affected area and wait until the solution stops hissing.HISS tells us that the chemical process of interacting with the infection takes place.
• Peroxide and sodaSIt is necessary to take 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of baking soda, bastard vinegar, one tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon peroxide.A pasty mixture should be obtained, which should be applied to the nails daily for a month for 30-40 minutes.

Peroxide works in the same way as tea tree oil.The effectiveness depends on the individual characteristics of the body.Do not use antiseptics as a major treatment, only in addition to pharmaceuticals.

Other recipes of traditional medicine

There are many ways to treat various diseases with folk methods.We have looked at the basic methods of releasing misery in previous sections, it is time to illuminate less popular, but no less effective means.

• OnionSOnion juice contains a natural antiseptic.The recipe is simple: to dissolve onions onion juice in equal proportions, you can with cake and warm water and then wipe the affected nail every day.
• PropolisSThe healing properties of propolis are used in many divisions of medicine.Effective treatment method: Grind the nail with an alcoholic solution of propolis, then scroll your legs.The procedure should be performed daily for a month.
• SealandineSSeendin juice contains toxic components that are destructive to mycosis and are safe for humans.Wipe the location of the infection with Salandin juice once a day.

Each of the folk methods presented is effective, use the one you like more or is right for you according to any criteria.Remember that treatment requires an integrated treatment approach, along with medicines, otherwise the result will not be the best.

Ways to remove the affected nail

The treatment of each disease involves two parallel stages - treatment of causes and elimination of the consequences.In addition to the treatment of the fungus itself, it is necessary to eliminate the affected nail plate in order not to infect a healthy part.

The nail removal methods are different, some are effective but painful.Let's analyze the most common methods for choosing the most appropriate.

Mechanical technique

This technique requires a fair share of the patient's courage, without jokes.The mechanical technique involves removing the nail with the help of cosmetic scissors.

1. SteamSThe legs should be placed in hot water for 20-30 minutes.
2. WorkSThe patient independently removes layer on the layer to the open flesh.

The method is considered morally outdated.We strongly advise you to abandon it in all circumstances.There are no objective reasons to use this method.

Special tools

Modern medicines allow you to relieve the nail without pain, obviously soften it.The nail is separated from the fabric after a few days, and the dish itself disappears.

There are also folk methods among the methods, but we do not recommend them.It is better to entrust such a dangerous process to pharmaceuticals so that you do not suffer from pain later.

Surgical removal

Surgeon surgery is usually prescribed for those patients, in whom it is impossible to overcome the disease with outpatient methods.Most often, these are quite advanced cases where iodine and soda will no longer help.

How surgery is performed:

• Local anesthesiaSThe patient is performed directly in the finger.
• Nail cuttingSEither its damaged part is removed, or the whole plate is entirely if mycode has already reached the cuticle.
• AntibioticSImmediately after surgery, it is necessary to wrap your finger in an antibiotic gauze and dress every six to seven hours twice a day.The new nail grows after six to twelve months.

Surgical intervention is a very painful procedure, especially in the first days after surgery.Creating the tissue of naked finger provokes the most severe attacks of pain.

Prevention of infection

It is completely impossible to protect the fungus, there are no preventative measures to save you from the penetration of the infection, except for these special fungi tablets.But no one will use them constantly unnoticed, given that they negatively affect the condition of the liver and kidneys.

However, there are recommendations that can partially protect you.Follow them at least partially so that you do not constantly fall into the risk zone.

• Public baths and saunasSTry not to attend events where different people have barefoot legs.Each of them can potentially transfer the disease without knowing it.

• BeachesSOn the beach, everyone goes barefoot or open shoes, allowing the infection to penetrate the body almost freely.Try to wash your feet with home soap after visiting the beach.
• Other people of peopleSYou come to visit, they offer you slippers.Give up, go to the socks.You will not be convicted of this, tell me you are not cold.And don't be afraid to offend anyone, people are most often not interested in them and you will be saved from potential danger.

The fungus needs close contact with the body to infect it, so take care of your feet, keep them in a closed state and observe hygiene.

In order to cure mycosis, you need to determine its type, degree of infection and choose the right ways to ship.Everyone can choose their own method, but we recommend that you contact a specialist to get quick and high quality results.
