Fungus is diagnosed in almost every third person on the planet.The most common type of disease is onychomycosis - damage to the pathogenic microflora of the nail plate.Often, the infection is located on the toes, as it is always subject to mechanical effects (rubbed on shoes), which is why microchers appear in their nails.They are the "entrance" for pathogens.If the first symptoms of onychomycosis are detected, they should take treatment immediately.Without timely therapy, the fungus from the thumb will quickly spread to a healthy area and will be a source of pain during walking and unpleasant feet.
The cause and symptoms of infection
You can catch nail fungus when using infected things or when contacting the surface where the sick walk.Therefore, doctors insist on wearing rubber slippers in sauna, bathing or pool, and also prohibiting wearing shoes, tight clothing or socks.
The following factors can increase the likelihood of onychomycosis:
- not compliance with personal hygiene;
- work in place with high humidity;
- Shoes rarely clean and wash pants;
- reduce immunity;
- Damage to the skin on the toes.
Also, the risk of getting nail fungus increases the presence of nail plate pathology.Anomaly growth of keratin layers, disruption, inflammation or nail deformation - all of which contribute to the rapid reproduction of pathogenic microflora.
The manifestation of onychomycosis
The main signs that the nails in the toes are attacked by fungal infections, referring to:
- small cracks and changes in the color of the nail plate;
- acute pain when pressing nails;
- constant itching between the fingers;
- burns under the nails;
- redness of the skin on the fingers;
- unpleasant foot smell;
- Feel free to walk in closed shoes (shoes, shoes, shoes).
In some cases, when pressed on the nails from the bottom, the white liquid can be released - the life of an important pathogen's activity.It is often used as a sample for laboratory analysis, which allows you to determine the type of pathogen of infection and its developmental stages.
IMPORTANT!
It is impossible to cure fungus at a further level and nail the nails.It will actually collapse in the treatment process and it needs to grow in a new one.
Fungal infection therapy on thumb nails
You can fight onychomycosis in the toes in two ways -medicines and folk medicine.Each option has the advantages and advantages of, so before starting treatment, you should consult your doctor.Only doctors will say the type of therapy will be effective in certain cases.
Drugs for nail plate mycosis in the toes
Medications for the treatment of onychomycosis are available in the following forms:
- spray;
- cream;
- varnish;
- Plaster.
The difference between them lies in the application method and composition.Often dermatology prescribes complex therapy, including the use of several types of drugs.For example, spray spray on infected surfaces with further treatment of nails with varnish or popular cream.
Antifungal spray
Spray (aerosol) has several advantages compared to other forms of drugs:
- The contents of the bottle are applied to the thumb nails in a non -contact way, which reduces the likelihood of spreading the infection to a healthy area;
- The active components of the drug are sprayed not only on the nail plate, but also on nearby tissues;
- Spray can be equipped with a dispenser that allows you to control the use of the drug;
- When using antimic aerosol on socks or shoes, there are no traces;
- Spray does not cover the nails and finger skin with a solid film and does not slow down the moisture, which is a favorable major condition for the spread of fungal disputes;
- The ingredients in the aerosol composition have drying and deodorizing effects.
IMPORTANT!
Contraindications to the use of spray are individual intolerance of components in their composition.During pregnancy and during breastfeeding, you need a doctor's consultation.
Cream overhomycosis
Cream is less effective than aerosol, but they have a significant minus - difficulty in use.After processing the nail plate, with their help, you will need to wait for a certain time, while the active component is absorbed into the keratin layer.If you immediately beach or wear socks, then the product will be decorated and there will be no benefit from it.
The materials that form funds violate the fungal cell membrane and lead to the termination of pathogenic reproduction.The first and second stage treatment of onychomycosis may take from one to 2.5 weeks.The sophisticated form of the disease requires longer use of medicine - from 20 days to two months.
All drugs are used according to one scheme:
- Feet steamed in water with the addition of soda;
- The nails must be cut each time, cleaned with a file.If it has a decorative coating, then it is removed with acetone;
- A small amount of the cream slowly rubs into the nail plate.
After processing the thumb, you will need to wait 5-10 minutes until the medicine is dry and absorbs into the keratin layer.
The procedure is repeated three times a day with 4 hours.The minimum period of therapy is 1 week.
Varnish of antimikos
Glacks to treat fungus on nails are a mixture of liquid that quickly dries and covers the plate with a thin layer of breathing.The advantages of using this form of medicine include:
- penetration of active components even into the smallest cracks on the nails;
- drying speed;
- simplicity of application;
- does not contain toxic substances;
- conceal unhealthy types of nails;
- protect against the spread of fungal disputes to healthy areas;
- High efficiency (pathogenic microflora begins to die on the second day of the drug).
All varnishes are used according to the same scheme.Initially, the nails were cleaned, the keratin layer and the old drug film were released from it.Next, the varnish shake bottle and its contents are applied to the nail plate with the applicator.
IMPORTANT!
Therapeutic varnish should not be used simultaneously with decoration.Cosmetics create compact films that do not pass air and encourage fungal growth in the nail plate structure.
Patching from nail fungus
With plaster enhanced with antimic composition, you can get rid of fungus only if it is in the early stages of development.They protect against the spread of pathogens to neighboring areas, helping to soften the nail plate and complement the use of other drugs.Their main drawback is that they are less held on the skin and often peel off during walking.Therefore, it is best to wear it at home and fasten only to the thumb.
It is best to use patches at the same time using spray or cream.So the maximum therapeutic effect will be achieved.
Plasters are used as follows:
- Tissue tape with medical material is peeled off the film and attached to the nail.If necessary, it is cut in the form of a finger;
- Patches change daily before bedtime;
- The minimum period of therapy is 12 days.
When wearing a patch, it is necessary to ensure that the moisture will not be underneath.To do this, you can make a small hole in a cloth with a needle.You need to attach the patch just 20 minutes after steaming your feet in the water with soda.
Nail fungus in the thumb: Treatment with folk medicine
