The appearance of the fungus on legs nails is a fairly common phenomenon and does not always depend on inappropriate care or non-compliance with hygiene rules.The reason for everything is the so-called dermatophytes mushrooms, which are widespread in the floor and fall with shoes in the house.Therefore, it is not recommended to walk barefoot, to use someone else's shoes, it is constantly necessary to make sure that bare feet do not contact the floor, the floor, the carpets and other coatings that a person who was already suffering from this disease could pass.Contact is sufficient with the one who has a fungus in order to have infected himself.
The development of onychomycosis
The disease considered has received the general name of onychomycosis because it can be caused by fungi of various types.Each species with damage to the nail plate creates a kind of image of the disease.In one case - it will be a change in the color of the nail, in the other - its deformation.Some species cause not only a deformation of the plate, but also its destruction with a delay behind the bed.
Damage to nails, over time, are becoming more and more extensive, if not appropriate measures.As a rule, such a pathology is associated with intense pain, which complicates walking.Especially often, children and the elderly are affected by the fungus of the nails, because the former still did not have an immune defense, and the second, on the contrary, has already weakened.
In old age, a similar nail disease develops most often.This is due to the general deficiency of vitamins of the body and other changes related to age, chronic diseases or general weakness.In addition, uncomfortable shoes, which prevent the foot from "breathing", causing the perspiration of the fingers - contributes particularly well to the development of dermatophytes.
Presenting in the thickness of the nail plate, mushrooms gradually destroy it and can cause a complete loss of the nail.At the same time, a person pays attention to the color changed nails on the legs or a change of shape, when the fungus has penetrated quite deeply.Any treatment in this case will be associated with a long expectation of a nail growth.
Humidity, lack of oxygen, lack of light and fairly high temperature are optimal conditions for active spread and damage to nail plates on all fingers.Even if it was initially a local infection.
Treatment methods
There are many drugs that allow you to get rid of such an unpleasant disease as a dermatophyte fungus.No less known folk remedies to overcome this disease.The treatment is both quite successful and not very.This is due to the fact that various types of mushrooms must be acted by various means.To understand what type of fungus hit the nail and which tool will be most effective - a doctor's consultation is necessary.
After examination and microbiological analysis of the scraping of the nail plate, the doctor will be able to establish a diagnosis and recommend how to cure the fungus of the nails.Independent treatment is responsible for even greater problems than the fungus itself.Non -professional treatment can cause irreversible changes in the skin of the foot, but do not affect the fungus.The resistance of such a damaged skin zone will decrease, which will only contribute to the faster propagation of the fungus.
But how to quickly cure nail mushrooms on your feet?This question is most often asked for specialists.There are many antifungal drugs of general action and aimed at eliminating specific types of fungi.
The growth of the fungus is removed from folk remedies and gradually destroys it:
- Garlic infusions;
- sea salt;
- Washing soap;
- lemon juice;
- vinegar;
- Low iodine solution;
- Salicylic acid;
- Contribers.
Anything above can be used both separately in the form of baths and mixing with each other.The main thing is to pay attention to the fact that something is nails on the legs.Any advanced disease is much more complicated and treated longer than its initial stage.With a fungus set in the thickness of the nail plate, the situation is even more complicated.
Most antifungal drugs act superficially on the nail, removing the reproduction of the fungus, by creating uncomfortable conditions.But they cannot in a short time in a short time in the deep layers of the nail adjacent to the box.It takes time for the affected nail to gradually have broken out.
The fungus can be completely eliminated with constant effects of drugs.This is the answer to the question of why a fast remedy does not work.In fact, the treatment of nail fungi on the legs leaves months of tenacious fight against the disease.
Side effects
The fungus can be affected by a cuticle and a roller located at the base of the nail.Influencing, they swell and interfere with walking due to intense pain.If the shoes are uncomfortable, the skin in these places can be damaged and an additional infection will enter the body by injuries.In order to quickly and effectively get rid of this tedious disease, you should be persistent in its treatment.
The advanced form of the fungus of the nails contributes not only to the poisoning of the whole body of the human body with toxins.It is possible to defeat the nails of the hands and the skin in various parts of the body.Often this happens with the body, weakened by certain chronic diseases, in particular caused by similar pathogens.In such cases, only home or outpatient treatment is not always enough, treatment is necessary in the hospital.Dermatologists recommend selecting drugs and home remedies very carefully for the treatment of nail mushrooms, as some of them can simply neutralize, when used in conjunction.
The fungus on the nails contributes to the complication of many chronic diseases in various parts of the human body, because the products of its vital activity enter the blood circulation and are transported throughout the body.In particularly serious cases, it is necessary to use strong general antibiotics to prevent poisoning.The presence of a fungus on the nails of the leg can cause a clear and unpleasant odor, which regularly permeates things and shoes.In addition, many cosmetics are powerless in eliminating or reducing the degree of this odor.These symptoms bring to a person of many drawbacks, and the deformation and destruction of nails on the legs, in addition to what is a painful process, forms the cosmetic uglies of the foot.The constant presence of infection in the body reduces its protection in front of pathogens of other diseases.
According to global statistics, up to 27% of the entire globe population suffers from fungal foot disease.Research work is actively underway to study the characteristics of the biology of fungi to ensure an effective fight with them.New drugs are under development.It depends a lot on the attitude of patients with regard to their illness.
Preventive measures
Even after being possible to eliminate the fungus from the nails, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures several times to prevent its appearance.To do this, you must get rid of all the shoes that were dressed earlier, rinse completely and disinfect the shoes, the floors and the flooring, the carpets and the lying carpets on the floor, as well as things that could be contaminated by mushroom spores.Including the sets of pedicure, the tarts in the bathroom and other personal hygiene items.It is through them that a fungal infection occurs mainly.
Various types of mushrooms are highly entering environmental influences and can transport long extreme conditions.Bactericidal rays, freezing, chemical treatment do not always guarantee the complete death of the fungal dispute.For a long time, this problem has given little attention and today, doctors say that the nature of the disease has been studied for lack of degree.
Medical statistics suggest that patients prefer to use all the announced means, traditional medicine methods, and it is only after that does not help, contact a dermatologist.Meanwhile, precious time passes and neglected disease is more acute.Each damaged nail requires separate attention and treatment, which takes a lot of effort, as treatment passes for months.This is said to be a lot, but the situation does not change for the best and people spend a lot of time and money, instead of immediately contacting a dermatologist who will help quickly and effectively solve the problem.
Bathing procedures, lubrication with drugs, ointments and creams - it is necessary to continue until the fungus is completely destroyed.The treatment of the case in case or premature stop of the treatment will not have the right effect.In order to ensure that the fungus is completely defeated, a consultation and an analysis of the doctor are necessary.
It is only after the conclusion on the complete recovery of the nails can be stopped the therapeutic procedures.Otherwise, onychomycosis will be repeated again.Certain types of fungi can adapt to the antifungal drugs used and previously carried out, in this case, will be ineffective.
