Nail fungus - what way will help quickly get rid of it?

Each of us can catch a fungus.It is a contagious disease that is spread from the sick to the healthy and the effect, as a rule, nails and skin.If the nail plate has changed, it starts to collapse, the color changes - this means the infection occurs, and the onychomycosis has developed.They suffer from 20% of the adult population.

Cause

Most people are unaware of what onychomycosis, and how dangerous it is.Pathogenic microorganisms, penetrating the nail structure, changing them.In addition to aesthetic problems, mushrooms can poison the whole organism as a whole.This leads to allergic reactions, decreased body protective function, internal organ disease.

You can be infected with nail fungus just under favorable conditions.Usually, the skin has an acidic environment that prevents the penetration of various infections.If his PH for some reason has changed to the alkaline, then the reproduction and growth of the pathogen organisms increased significantly.

The wet environment also contributes to the development of infection.One can be infected with non -compliance with personal hygiene or simple behavioral rules in the general area.The patient's skin or nails scale is a source of infection.The causes of nail fungus can be as follows:

1. Visit the beach, sauna, bath, water garden, shower, swimming pool, fitness center, there is a risk of infection.Passing out of the foot on a damp surface and having cracks or wounds in the foot, the probability of "taking" the fungus to the feet is very large.
2. Improper shoes, tight, synthetic socks, tightly increases sweat, leading to changes in skin-based acid balance.Its protective function is reduced, and this can cause the appearance and spread of fungus.
3. Poor immunity, prolonged use of antibiotics, corticosteroids, antibacterial therapy contributes to infections with onychomycosis.
4. Diabetes mellitus in the elderly is a common cause of the disease.
5. In contact with fungal -infected shoes, socks with towels, wipes, manicures and personal accessories of other patients, infections occur in 90% of cases.

Initially, the infection affects the small area of the nail, as a rule, this is an area with the advantage.Then the inflammation process increases and spreads to other zones or penetrates further into the nail plate.The faster the nail fungus is found, the easier it is to cure it.Therefore, in the first signs, the treatment should begin immediately.

How is the disease real

Not only experts, but also patients can determine onychomycosis in a person.The main features of the nail fungus are as follows:

• The nail plate changes color, from light yellow, to black.Dye depends on the type of nail -infected fungus;
• There is a transformation of shape and nail plate circuit;
• Nail collapsed, exfoliation, thickness, natural shine disappear;
• Bad smell, unpleasant sensation, painful at the fingertips, near the nail plate.

It is important to determine the disease in time to prevent further spread to the skin and other parts of the finger.The doctor will be able to properly evaluate the level of damage to the fungus and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Differentiating 3 Levels of Fungus:

1. Explicit signs, such as shape changes, thickening of the corneum stratum, cracks are not present.Determining the disease during this period is very difficult.But the appearance of the spots that are almost invisible on the surface of the nail plate, slight changes under the shade of the stratum layer can warn the appearance of almost invisible places.
2. There are different nail fungus signs.The color of the nail surface changes, from pink, to yellow or brown, natural gloss and smoothness disappears.The edges of the nails are thick, collapsed, and defective.
3. It is considered to be a neglected form in which the infection captures the entire cornea.He thickens, there is an increase in keratinocytes, and increased fragility.To cut such nails is very problematic, the edges are bent inside and grow into the skin of the finger, conveying the pain to the patient while walking.

Complications after the 3rd stage are characterized by peeratinocytes exfoliation from shoots.This condition is accompanied by severe pain and unpleasant odor.The nail fungal incubation period is 3 weeks, after which you are able to diagnose the disease and start antifungal therapy.

Type of nail fungus

With onychomycosis, some types of fungi are diagnosed.

1. Dermatophytes, as a rule, appear in the form of clouds of platinum nails.The yellow place is formed on the edge or in the middle.Over time, the yellow edges move from the coated bed.Sometimes longitudinal strips are observed along damaged areas.
2. Yeast fungus changes the nail structure, changing it.The nail plate becomes uneven, the waves, the shells appear, after the color of the nails is yellowish color and may be left behind.At the same time, nail rollers can be captured and thickened.
3. Mold fungus is detected in people with poor immunity, with long drug therapy.It is indicated by changes in the nail color palette.At first it was yellow, so the shade changed, and it could be like greenery, blisters and even black.In this case, the treatment is the shortest, and takes 1-1.5 months, as the mold does not penetrate deep into the nail plate, but only on the surface.

An effective method of combating infection

How to get rid of nail fungus quickly and forever, many patients' concerns.The treatment of onychomycosis in the early stages does not last long.You can overcome it using a local antifungal agent.They spread deep into the nipple and suppress the growth and reproduction of pathogen mushrooms.Such treatment will be effective if the small area of the nail plate is injured, no more than 1/3.

Positive healing property is given varnish from nail fungus.They have a liquid texture, easy to use and penetrate small cracks on the nails.When applying, varnish is immediately absorbed and dry, forming a strong film.It prevents the penetration of oxygen into the nail, where the growth and reproduction of the fungus stop.

It must be used once a day.Removing varnish from the surface of the nail plate is a problem, which allows you to effectively affect the infection. 

You can also use antifungal drugs, creams and ointments.They have higher efficiency than varnish, and are used in identification of 2 stages of the disease.Before applying the cream, you need to remove the surface of the nail plate.

Cream or ointment is used 2 times a day, and covers a small amount of affected areas.To achieve the maximum effect after using the cream, it is necessary to avoid the infected area with the patch. 

The method of treating onychomycosis depends on the level of neglect and the identified form.It only goes under the supervision of a doctor, as all the drugs from fungal infections have high toxicity.Experts study the patient and take a small portion of the nails for laboratory examination to establish a type of fungus.In cases when the disease captures all platinum nails and fungus lasts for more than a year - comprehensive treatment is prescribed, including local and internal drug use.

The use of systemic antibiotics into the treatment of fungal infections provides positive results.Such medicines, combined with ointment, prevent fungus the ability to spread deep into the nails, and stop colony growth.This type of treatment is long and lasts for a year.

Medicine is not resistant, effective methods of combating fungal diseases are constantly developed and implemented.In 2010, new methods emerged in the treatment of onychomycosis.The photodynamic processing of the nail plate is infected with fungus, and the laser treatment of a special "nail" laser in combination with antimicrobials has a significant positive effect and reduces the term healing.

The peculiarity of laser therapy is located on a fungal effect of up to 70 degrees, where the fungal spores die, and the source of the spread of the disease is miselium.

In laser treatment, healthy skin around the nails is not affected, it acts exclusively on the dead fungal organism for several sessions.
