The nail fungus is increasingly easier to treat in the early stages rather than facing an advanced form of the disease.In the last stages of the icydomicosis, the destruction of the nail plate, whose integrity is not restored, progresses.The skin also suffers near the affected area.
The initial phase of the nail fungus is successfully treated at home with medicines and popular remedies.We consider in more detailed way how to recognize the first signs of the disease and what measurements are taken to eliminate them.
Symptoms
With the damage to the oticomicosis, the appearance of the nail, its shape and the skin close to the focus of the infection, it changes.The mushroom is located in the plates, nails bed and in the upper layers of the dermis.To detect it in an initial phase, it is necessary to carefully examine your fingers every 3-4 days after visiting public places (swimming pools, shower, open ponds).
In the initial phase, the disease can occur in three directions:
- Almost asymptomatic.This type of mushroom is called normotrophic;
- With hypertrophic, an increase in the plate occurs.Becomes more often and denser;
- The atrophic form, on the contrary, is characterized by the refinement of the nail structure.
The symptoms of ounings influence the complete disturbance of the nail plate, its roller, the skin around.The changes refer to:
- shade of the skin and nails;
- the appearance of the dermis and the plate;
- strength, thickness of the nail.
If the beginning of the disease passes asymptomatic, only a dermatologist can recognize the occurrence of the disease by examining.When examining with the help of special tools, white points are visible barely distinguishable.During hygiene procedures, they are usually not noticed.
Further changes influence the color of the nail.Healthy dishes have a pink color.The surface affected becomes yellowish or pale.In addition, the color changes from gray green to black and brown.A healthy shine also disappears, the nail acquires opacity.
In the photo of the first stage of onychomicosis, the yellow-brown areas affected by the microorganisms are clearly visible.The base of the nail changes.It looks like a keratinized roller covered with stairs.The plate and the sub -gear bed crumbles and delays.The surface becomes thicker or, on the contrary, becomes thinner.
A characteristic feature of the initial icydomicosis is a violation of the integrity of the plate.It breaks, divided into different layers.In some cases, hills, grooves appear on its surface.
The skin around the affected area is also being changed.Are expressed in the following events:
- itching, burning;
- redness;
- the occurrence of cracks;
- Loose structure.
Another characteristic symptom with which the disease can be determined is an unpleasant smell.It appears following the spread of the mushroom and its life.Sweat and pollution improve poor smells.
If the disease is not treated, destruction progresses.The nail is rejected without recovery.The mushroom passes to the close fingers, causing their deformation.
Important!In the absence of treatment, complications begin in the form of concomitant pathologies.Therefore, it is necessary to start therapy as soon as possible.
Types of therapy
The treatment of the nail fungus is carried out both in hospital and independently.For this the following types of therapy are used:
- drug;
- hardware;
- With the help of popular remedies.
In order for the treatment to be successful, it is better to contact a dermatologist to make a diagnosis.An independent struggle against infection does not always give a positive result.Therapy aggravates the development of the disease with erroneously selected means.
The clinic leads a laboratory study on the affected area, the following factors are revealed:
- Stadium of the disease;
- the level of deformation of the plate;
- The area of the spread of the infection.
Give all aspects, the dermatologist prescribes the type of treatment and drugs.Domestic therapy is used as added to drugs.Treatment with specially designed antifungal drugs is more effective.
Medicines
The onychomycosis in the early stages is well treated with pharmaceutical products.They are available in two types: local and systemic application (which affects the entire body).The first exit in such forms:
- creamy;
- liquid;
- Patters.
Pharmacies offer a vast selection of these funds in different price categories.The latter are antibiotics or antifungals.They must be used as prescribed by a doctor, as they refer to powerful.
Ointments
Funds with a creamy consistency are used in the initial stages of the development of the disease.They stop the inflammatory process, block the diffusion of microorganisms with nearby fingers.
Before applying the leg, it is recommended to steam so that the cream penetrates the pores better.So the places located near the affected areas are lubricated.The drug is also rubbed between the fingers.The ointment is applied according to the instructions, 2-4 times a day.This is done until a positive result is achieved.
Liquid agents
Many antifungal drugs are produced in the form of solutions.Can be:
- therapeutic paints;
- drops;
- Spray.
The paint is applied directly to the plate itself using a brush.This is very convenient, since the entire composition is immediately distributed on the surface of the nail.Medicine enters the deep layers of the plate, eliminating the mushroom.After application, it is necessary to wait for the paint.The drops act similarly.The nail interested is processed by means of a pipette.It is usually already integrated into the hood.These funds successfully eliminate the disease in the initial phase of the disease.
Spray and aerosols are used to treat and prevent onychomycosis.They elaborate the feet and shoes inside.
Patch
Antifungal gravieri are used in combination with ointment or paint.First of all, the main remedy is applied to the nail plate.They wait for his drying, then sealed with a patch.After 24 hours, the product is removed.Therapy lasts 2-4 weeks, until the mushroom has completely disappeared.
Hardware methods
The mushroom is treated not only with the help of drugs, but also through devices.Exposure to laser and ozone therapy are new successful methods to get rid of this disease.The essence of the first method is that a ray of thin light is brought to the area of damage by bacteria.The laser has a bactericidal and anti -inflammatory property.The light waves kill the mushroom and disinfect the surface of the skin.
Important!The effect of the procedures is evident only with the daily conduct.It is necessary to bring the course to the end.
The second method is to enrich the damaged tissues with ozone.The gas is generated in special devices.Then the oxygen area mixture is introduced in the upper layers of the dermis near the sick nail.This is done using injection.The gas destroys the spores of the mushrooms, prevents the further diffusion of infections.This procedure also regenerates skin cells, strengthens the tissue.Ozonotherapy has a long effect.
Household methods
The disease in an initial phase is successfully treated with popular remedies.The main thing is to note the infection from diffusion over time.
The processing of painful points is carried out by rubbing therapeutic or compressed compositions.Bathrooms that use drugs are also useful.The following products are used for the production of mixtures:
- salt, soda;
- vinegar;
- TABLE SOAP;
- iodine;
- medicinal herbs;
