Onychomycosis-with pathogenic mushroom dermatophytes to the nail.According to various sources, 10% to 30% of the world's population suffer from nail fungi.It is possible that the reason for weak symptoms that a person does not disturb at the beginning of the infection.However, after the fungus activity causes inconvenience, his treatment becomes problematic.
How to recognize a mushroom
Primary symptoms are expressed by itching around the nail, the intermediate zone.In the future there will be inflammation of the nail roller, the skin ulcer between the fingers.Lay damage begins with color change, nail plate: stains (white, yellow), strip appear.The surface of the nail loses its shine, becomes wave -like.If you do not pay attention to the problem, the affected nails are thickened and deformed so that they can no longer be hidden by cosmetic methods.
There are three levels of onychomycosis:
- Normotorophical- Smaller spots on the surface of the plate, while the thick, shape, the shine of the nail are maintained.
- Hypertrophic- A deep defeat causes the growth of nail tissue, characterized by a loose structure, wave -like growth and crushed edges of the nail.
- Atrophic- The affected nail is rejected, on the nail bed there are deformed remains of the nail tissue of an atypical color.
The fungus is contrastWith symptoms of onychomycosis, you need to contact a dermatologist (ideally - to a mycologist).After all, close people can primarily be infected because it is most difficult to avoid the family of close contact (and the infection).
Independent treatment with pharmacological antimicosis, especially tablet, is not recommended.The tablets advertised by the manufacturer as a slaughter weapon from the mushroom can have a side effect that does not harm the patient.In addition, the pathogens can be different types of mushrooms.Only one doctor can choose tablets that are as effective as possible in every specific lesion.And only in a medical facility is it possible to identify the "enemy" using laboratory research (scraping, seed).
Risk factors for infection with a nail fungus
It should be noted that children practically do not suffer from a mushroom from nails, possibly due to the rapid growth of the nail.The age group of risk begins from young people to age.Mushroom affects people more often:
- With weakened immunity - chronic diseases, frequent colds, diabetes, HIV.
- Uncovered personal hygiene - go in public locations with an increased risk of infection (bathrooms, saunas, pools) without slate, wear the shoes of other people, use other people's households (towels, manicure accessories).
- In contact with patients with mycosis - if the family has a person with a mushroom on nails.
Hand damage can occur due to the frequent exposure of aggressive means (cleaning agents, cleaning agents).Violations of the integrity of the nail plate with chemicals, the formation of microricises on the nails make it easier to penetrate the mushroom.
The fungus on the legs is often in a person who practices wearing improper shoes: a cramped, non -passing air, which promotes sweating legs: a wet warm environment, and even with the formation of microesses, grids on the skin of the feet and nails - this is an ideal place for life and the reproduction of the fund.
Treatment with pharmacy medication onhomycosis
The treatment of nail fungus consists in the form of medication inside (tablets, capsules) and local exposure (ointments, bathrooms, compresses).A comprehensive method is used for treatment with high quality: a combination of tablets and treatment with external means of affected areas.In particular, careful and comprehensive treatment requires neglected nail fungus.
Treatment can take up to 1 year and include a general strengthening of therapy: a balanced diet, vitamins, a good break and a dream to increase the resistance of the body.
Preparations from the mushroom for oral administration (oral)
The form of treatment with tablets and suspensions is practical: you don't have to put on your fingers with bathrooms and wear dressings on your fingers.
Attention: All antimic tablets not only kill a parasite, but also a useful microflora.Tablets can provoke allergies and cause an aggravation of a chronic disease.It is therefore impossible to use it yourself.
Laser therapy
The procedure is carried out in a hospital with a neglected form of the disease.It is usually combined with the surgical removal of the thickened part of the nail.In addition, this method is the ability to cure onychomycosis quickly.The disadvantage can be described as considerable costs of the procedure.
External use of users to combat mushrooms
The pharmaceutical industry produces ointments, sprays, tinctures for the processing of feet and nails.
The composition encompasses antimictics of an alllam group or Azol medication.Some of them have a wide range of actions - successfully fighting with different forms of mushrooms and bacteria.Others can only influence a certain group of microorganisms, but have a strong fungicide effect (fungus - mushroom, Caedo - Kill), in contrast to a less radical fungatic effect - slowing down and reproduction of pathogenic fungi.
Ointments are applied 1 to 3 times a day on affected nail plates and adjacent fabrics.During the evening application (before going to bed), the treated area is wrapped into a film and wearing socks to increase the exposure duration and improve the effect.
Sprays and liquid medication are more unpretentious: after applying you don't have to attract your legs or sit for 40 minutes.With smeared feet.After drying (after a few minutes), a person can move without an uncomfortable feeling of alkalis fingers.Sometimes it is recommended in the comments on liquid medication to glue the surface of the nail after treatment of the feet with a waterproof or bandage.
It is inappropriate to treat the mushroom itself: only the doctor can choose a medication that is optimally suitable for a specific patient.Treatment of an advanced form, simultaneous infections, a mushroom of more than one species (dermatophytes often "help" with yeast and moldy mushrooms).All of these nuances influence the selection of the dosage form (tablets, ointments, tinctures), dose, duration of treatment.
The treatment of nail fungi and feet is long (sometimes up to 1 year), especially with extensive lesions and advanced forms of the disease.The mushroom myzel can penetrate deeply into the fabric and do its black deed for years.It was even found in the periosteum, which indicates the seriousness of this disease, the need to carefully comply with the entire complex of the prescribed procedures.
Preparation of the feet
Before using the prenatures - this applies to all antifungals of the external use - the legs with baking powder and salt are climbed into water, which are thoroughly washed with soap (preferably tar).Pluted nail particles are removed using manicure scissors, tweezers and files.Then the legs are dried with a towel and the affected nails, the interal zone with hydrogen peroxide, are wiped off.
After the end of the work, the manicure set is treated with alcohol or designs so as not to become infected by your own tools.
