The appearance of fungi on the toenails is quite common and does not always depend on improper care or mismatch with the rules of hygiene.The reason for everything is the so -called dermatophytic fungi, which are widespread in the soil and fall with shoes in the house.Therefore, it is not recommended to walk barefoot, use foreign shoes, it is constantly necessary to ensure that bare feet do not contact the ground, floor, carpets and other coatings that a person already suffering from this disease can pass.A contact is sufficient with the one who has a sponge to become infected.
The development of onychomycosis
The disease under consideration is given to the common name of onychomycosis as it can be caused by fungi of different species.Each type of nail damage creates a kind of picture of the disease.In one case - this will be a change in the color of the nail, in the other - its deformation.Certain species cause not only deformation of the slab, but also its destruction by lagging out of bed.
Nail damage over time becomes increasingly dense if appropriate measures are not taken.As a rule, such pathology is associated with severe pain that complicates walking.Especially often, children and the elderly are affected by the nail fungus, as the former have not yet had immune protection, and the second, on the contrary, has already weakened.
In the elderly, such nail disease develops most often.This is due to the overall deficiency of vitamin of the body and other changes related to age, chronic diseases or general weakness.Also, uncomfortable shoes that prevents the foot from breathing, causing sweating of the toes - it particularly contributes to the development of dermatophytes.
By introducing into the thickness of the nails, the fungi gradually destroy it and can lead to complete loss of the nail.At the same time, one pays attention to the changed nail color or a change in shape when the fungus penetrates quite deeply.Any treatment in this case will be associated with a long expectation of nail growing.
Moisture, lack of oxygen, lack of light and fairly high temperature are optimal conditions for active spread and damage to the nail plaques of all fingers.Even initially it was a local infection.
Methods of treatment
There are plenty of medicines that allow you to get rid of such an unpleasant disease as a fungus of dermatophyte.No less known folk remedies to overcome this disease.The treatment is quite successful and not much.This is due to the fact that different types of mushrooms must act on different means.To find out which type of fungus is hitting the nail and which tool will be the most effective - consultation of a doctor is needed.
After examination and microbiological analysis of nail scraping, the doctor will be able to diagnose and recommend how to cure the nail fungus.Independent treatment is fraught with even more problems than the fungus itself.Unprofessional treatment can cause irreversible changes in the skin of the foot, but not affect the fungi.The resistance to such skin damage will decrease, which will only contribute to the faster spread of fungi.
But how to quickly heal your toenails?This question is most often asked to specialists.There are quite a few antifungal drugs with general action and aimed at eliminating specific types of fungi.
The growth of fungi is suppressed by folk remedies and gradually destroys it:
- garlic infusions;
- sea salt;
- washing soap;
- lemon juice;
- vinegar;
- weak iodine solution;
- salicylic acid;
- Canned food.
Everything can be used both separately in the form of baths and mixed with each other.The main thing is to pay attention to the fact that something happens from the toenails.Each advanced disease is much more complicated and is treated longer than its original stage.With a fungus precipitated in the thickness of the nails, the situation is even more complicated.
Most antifungal drugs act superficially on the nail, suppressing the reproduction of fungi, creating inconvenient conditions for it.But they cannot destroy it in the deep layers of the nail adjacent to the box for a short time.It takes time for the affected nail gradually erupts.
The fungi can be completely removed with constant effects of medicines.This is the answer to the question of why fast treatment does not work.In fact, the treatment of nail fungus leaves months of persistent fight against the disease.
Side effects
The fungi can be affected by the cuticle and a roller located at the base of the nail.By reducing, they swell and prevent walking due to severe pain.If the shoes are uncomfortable, the skin in these places can be damaged and additional infection will enter the body through the wounds.To get rid of this annoying disease quickly and effectively, you must be constant in treating it.
The advanced shape of the nail sponge not only contributes to the poisoning of the whole body of the human body with toxins.It is possible to beat the nails of the hands and skin in different parts of the body.Often this happens with the body weakened by some chronic disease, especially caused by such pathogens.In such cases, only home or outpatient treatment is not always sufficient, treatment is needed in the hospital.Dermatologists recommend that they very carefully choose medicines and home remedies to treat nail fungus, as some of them can simply be neutralized when used jointly.
Nail fungus contributes to the complication of many chronic diseases in different parts of the human body, since the products of its vital activity enter the bloodstream and are carried throughout the body.In particularly severe cases, it is necessary to use strong common antibiotics to prevent intoxication.Having a fungus on the toenails can cause a pungent and unpleasant odor that constantly impregnates things and shoes.In addition, many cosmetics are powerless in eliminating or reducing the extent of this odor.These symptoms carry a lot of discomfort and deformity and destruction of the toenails, in addition to what is a painful process, forms the cosmetic ulcers of the foot.The constant presence of infection in the body reduces its protection before pathogens of other diseases.
According to world statistics, up to 27% of the population of the entire globe suffers from fungal diseases of the foot.Research is actively conducted to study the characteristics of fungi biology to ensure effective combat.New medicines are being developed.Much depends on the attitude of sick people to their illness.
Preventive measures
Even after eliminating nail fungus, it is necessary to repeatedly take preventative measures to prevent it from occurring.To do this, you need to get rid of all the shoes that were dressed earlier, thoroughly rinse and disinfect the shoe, floors and flooring, carpets and carpets located on the floor, as well as things that could be contaminated with mushroom spores.Including pedicure sets, bathroom towel and other personal hygiene elements.It is through them that fungal infection occurs mainly.
Different types of mushrooms are many supports for environmental impact and can carry long extreme conditions.Bactericidal rays, freezing, chemical treatment do not always guarantee the complete death of a fungal dispute.For a long time this problem has not paid little attention and today doctors have stated the fact that the nature of the disease has been studied in a lack of degree.
Medical statistics suggest that patients prefer to first use all advertised means, methods of traditional medicine and only once this does not help, contact a dermatologist.In the meantime, valuable time passes and the neglected disease feels more acute.Each damaged nail requires special attention and treatment, which takes a lot of effort as treatment lasts for months.This is said a lot, but the situation does not change to better and people spend a lot of time and money instead of contacting a dermatologist immediately, who will help to quickly and effectively solve the problem.
Bathtub procedures, lubrication with medicines, ointments and creams - it is necessary to continue until the fungus is completely destroyed.Case to case or premature discontinuation of treatment will not have an appropriate effect.To make sure the fungus is completely defeated, consultations of a doctor and the analysis are re -analyzed.
Only after the complete nail restoration is completed can therapeutic procedures be stopped.Otherwise, onychomycosis will be repeated again.Some types of fungi can adapt to used antifungal drugs and before they should be performed, in which case they will be ineffective.
