Nail fungus treatment at home

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

Consider the process of treating the fungus, touching the problems of prevention and traditional medicine.We will analyze the situations that should be avoided so as not to cause the development of fungal formations.Remember, the disease is transmitted to family members.The sooner decides to cure it quickly, less likely to damage their 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 sooner the patient notices the disease, the faster he can quickly get rid of it.Domestication is destructive, the fungus can in the shortest possible time destroy the nail structure.

If a family member, in which it is customary to wear bathrooms or common shoes, has already revealed the presence of a disease, then the rest must quickly verify.

• The initial stage.The first signs of infection are not notable for a person.Most likely, the patient does not have time to start treatment at an early stage.Only in laboratory conditions using a microscope you can see transparent white formations under the nail.
• The second stage.After Mikoz received the development and did not receive the attention of the person, he begins to deform the nail.Small slots appear in the nail, tangible to touch.There is no pain, as well as changes in color.
• The third stage.At this stage, the nail begins to become yellow.Most patients see a precision doctor during this period, which is quite logical.You can still cure at home.
• The fourth stage.If a person ignored the disease and did not take measures to get rid of it, the final stage comes.The nail begins to bend and turns yellow completely.The skin around the nail dries, begins to take off and earn an unhealthy tone.A rotten unpleasant smell appears.

Each of the stages is treated.But 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 to look at their own limbs, and no one is involved in this in ordinary life.Women who paint their nails on their feet will have to be especially difficult.They will not detect the fungus until more obvious signs appear.

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

• Antinatural color of the nail.At first it does not become yellow, but there are already changes.First, the surface loses its transparency, the color intensifies, becomes dense.If you compare the color of the healthy nail plate in one leg on your forehead with one leg with the color of the color infected in the other, then you can notice the differences in the tones.In the future, the patient will actively yellow, this process is no longer impossible to notice;
• Nail swelling.First, the smooth surface is covered with small slots, then it deforms, loses softness and constantly thickens.When it is touched, it feels like a rough stone;
• Skin irritation.Mycosis can act in an integral way, in addition to the nail, the skin also suffers.At first it can be weak itch, then peel.The epidermis becomes solid, loses moisture and is covered with microcks;
• Destruction of nail plate.Such a symptom manifests 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 the layers or cut, it can damage a lot and crush the plaque;
• Stratification.This symptom is not the most common, manifested in those people whose body lacks phosphorus and calcium.Fungi formations can stimulate stratification, but they are not their root cause.

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

MEDICINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFECTION

There are many types of mycosis, treatment methods differ, although the principle of infection is the same.Contact the mikologist, you will perform a series of tests to offer the most effective treatment algorithm.

The most effective means, despite all the statements of the people's healers, are the pharmaceutical products.Among them, it is relevant to use tablets, ointments and varnishes aimed at the death of the fungus and the restoration of the human immune system.However, popular remedies can help, but about them a little later.

Pills

Before knowing the pills, it is worth saying that everyone affects the liver condition.For a healthy person, this is not critical, but he has liver problems, choose other methods.

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

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

Ointments

Antimicide ointments in their effectiveness significantly exceed adult and children tablets, since they apply directly to the affected nail.The best ointments of a wide range of actions are considered the best, which allows it not to take evidence for the type of fungus, but immediately proceed to treatment.

Varnishes

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

There are not many varnishes.Different analogues only copy two main competitors.Buy varnishes in pharmacies by the recommendations of a doctor.If you choose yourself, you can not get a healthy nail canvas, but a social immunity and cause the distribution of the fungus.

Treatment with popular remedies

A popular remedy for treatment is the most controversial medical term in recent decades.On the one hand, medication manufacturers do not want to lose money and assure people that popular remedies are not effective.On the other hand, the adherents of popular methods indicate that we should not feed pharmacists.Who is right?

True is somewhere in the middle.If you note, then most of the medications that appear above are contraindicated in pregnant women and children.How to be?The natural methods of safe treatment reach the rescue.If you normally support ointments and tablets, use them, because their benefits are definitely more than damage.The popular remedy does not load the immune system, but it is not cure so effectively.In general, it is better to combine both, but within the reasonable limits.

Vinegar

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

• Baths with vinegar.Heat the water to a warm state, not hot.Add 150-200 ml of water vinegar.The resulting solution must completely cover the leg.Grease in twenty minutes three times a week.After the procedure, you do not need to wash your legs in water, simply clean it well with a dry towel.
• Drowned cotton.This method is additional to the first.Immediately after the vinegar bath, you can moisten the cotton pads with vinegar and apply to the painful point for 10-15 minutes.A cotton pad can also be moistened with vodka and glycerin, the effectiveness will be greater.
• Creation of vinegar ointment.You will not need table vinegar, but 70%vinegar essence.For 20 grams of essence, you must add 10 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of glycerin and 10 grams of a dimethylftolat solution.Apply the resulting ointment to a painful place and keep 7 hours.After the procedure, the legs should be washed thoroughly with home soap or tar.Repeat the procedure daily to achieve the best results.

Vinegar is very effective as an additional stimulant.If you use or ointment tablets, vinegar will increase its effectiveness.If you use varnish, you will have to reject the vinegar, because the varnish is constantly in the nail, the vinegar can damage its layer.

Tea tree oil

The antiseptic properties of tea tree oil allow you to cope with a variety of skin ailments, as well as pathogens such as nail fungus.

• Cotton and butter.Moisten a cotton wool or a cotton cotton with tea air and apply to a painful place 3 times a day.Efficiency can be observed after 2-3 months, provided that the treatment is complex, with medications.
• A 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 on the nail plate and under it.
• Bathrooms with soft drinks and oily tea.Add 10 drops of tea tree oil, a spoonful of soda and a tablespoon of salt to the warm water, preferably sea.Daily bathrooms will help tablets and ointments quickly face the disease.

The antiseptic can stop the development of the fungus, but not kill it.Do not use tea tree oil.As the only form of 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.

• Peroxide lots.A 3%peroxide solution is used, a cotton pad is moistened and the damage is moistened 3 times a day.
• Bathrooms with peroxide.It is necessary to mix 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide with a 3% concentration with two liters of warm water, and then keep their legs in water for at least 15 minutes.Repeat the procedure daily in combination with other drugs.
• Vinegar peroxide.Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are mixed in the same proportions.The resulting solution must be applied to the affected area and wait until the solution stops whistling.The Hiss tells us that the chemical process of interaction with infection occurs.
• Peroxide and soda.It is necessary to take 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of soft drinks, bastard vinegar, a tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of peroxide.A mixture of cake must be obtained, which must be applied to the nail daily for a month for 30-40 minutes.

Peroxide works in the same way as tea tree oil.Efficiency depends on the individual characteristics of the body.Do not use antiseptics such as the main treatment, only as an addition to pharmaceutical medications.

Other recipes of traditional medicine

There are many ways to treat various diseases with popular methods.We examine the main methods to get rid of misfortune in previous sections, it is time to illuminate less popular, but no less effective means.

• Onion.Onion juice contains a natural antiseptic.The recipe is simple: to dissolve the onion juice in equal proportions, it can with pastel and warm water, and then clean the affected nail daily.
• Propolis.The healing properties of propolis are used in many sections of medicine.An effective treatment method: grate the nail with a propolis alcohol solution, then sell the leg.The procedure must be carried out daily for a month.
• Celandine.Celandine's juice contains toxic components that are destructive for mycosis and are safe for humans.Clean the place of infection with a calery juice once a day.

Each of the popular methods presented is effective, use the one you like more or that is suitable for you according to any criteria.Do not forget that treatment requires an integrated approach to treatment, together with drugs, otherwise, the result will not be the best.

Ways to eliminate affected nail

The treatment of any disease implies two parallel stages: treatment of causes and elimination of consequences.In addition to the treatment of the fungus itself, it is necessary to remove the affected nail plate so as not to infect a healthy part.

The methods to eliminate the nail are different, some of them are effective, but painful.Let's analyze the most common methods to choose the most appropriate.

Mechanical technique

This technique requires a good amount of patient courage, without jokes.The mechanical technique implies eliminating the nail using cosmetic scissors.

1. Smoky.The legs should be placed in hot water for 20-30 minutes.
2. Operation.The patient independently eliminates the layer by the layer to the meat open.

The method is considered morally outdated.We strongly recommend that you abandon it under any circumstance.There are no objective reasons to use this method.

Special tools

Modern drugs allow you to relieve the nail without pain, obviously softening it.The nail is separated from the fabric in a few days, and the plate itself disappears.

Among the methods there are also popular methods, but we do not recommend them.It is better to trust such dangerous process to pharmaceutical products so as not to suffer pain later.

Surgical removal

Surgeon surgery is generally prescribed for those patients in which it is impossible to overcome the disease with outpatient methods.Most of the time, these are quite advanced cases when iodine and soft drinks will no longer help.

How surgical operation takes place:

• Local anesthesia.The patient is done directly on the finger.
• Cutting the nail.Or its damaged part is removed, or the entire plaque is completely, if Mikoz has already reached the cuticle.
• Antibiotic.Immediately after the operation, it is necessary to wrap the finger in a gauze with an antibiotic and dress every six to seven hours twice a day.The new nail grows in six to twelve months.

Surgical intervention is a very painful procedure, especially in the first days after the operation.The transport of the tissue of a naked finger causes stronger pain attacks.

Infection prevention

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

However, there are recommendations that can partially protect it.Follow them at least partially so as not to fall constantly in the risk zone.

• Public bathrooms and saunas.Try not to attend events where different people are with bare feet.Each of them can transfer the disease without knowing it.

• Beaches.On the beach, everyone goes barefoot or in 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's shoes.You come to visit you, they offer you shoes.He refuses, sees the socks.You will not be convicted of this, tell me that you are not cold.And do not be afraid to offend anyone, people often don't care, and you will save the 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.

To cure mycosis, you must determine its type, degree of infection and choose the right ways to administer.Everyone can choose their own method, but we recommend contacting specialists to obtain rapid and high quality results.
