The fungus on the nail of the legs may appear suddenly. It is almost impossible to completely exclude the possibility of infection with such an unpleasant disease, as it quickly quickly on towels, general home shoes, and scissors to cut the nails. It is better to handle this with controlled tools.
How to recognize the disease
The pathogen's debate with the naked eye is invisible, which means that you have to fight "blindly" with them. You can only see the activity that has begun - it darkens, darkens, and then destroying the nail. Grandfather's methods are often ineffective for infection and rescue measures. Modern medicine recommends that nail fungus treat it in one of several proven methods:
- Taking drugs;
- Local use of special varnish;
- Therapy ointment or cream.
The presence of the fungus does not indicate the removal of the nail. This procedure is very rarely implemented when conservative treatment methods do not provide a positive result. The cause of the inability to get rid of the disease is a reduction in immunity. However, spring vitamin deficiency has nothing to do with it. Traditional therapy does not help people with the diagnosis of HIV infection, or those who have recently undergone cancer treatment. In all other cases, the forecast is very favorable.
Nail fungal medicines: ointments and creams
From the chemical compounds to get rid of the infections on the toes, it should be distinguished:
- Terbinafine, which is part of some drugs, is considered a very effective antifungal. The tablets are usually accepted once a day. The duration of treatment depends on the degree of disease development. The first positive results are noticeable for two months from the start of treatment.
- The pills for the treatment of hair, skin and nails are very active for dermatophytes, higher fungi and yeast as a preventive treatment. In the absence of a positive effect, the daily dose of tablets can be prescribed.
- Capsules or solutions are an effective tool and have a devastating effect on fungal cell membranes that are active in yeast -like and dermatophytes. They are taken after a meal. After entering the stomach, the capsule of the drug is destroyed, its therapeutic content is quickly absorbed into the blood and has an immediate effect on the pathogen. If necessary, the dose of the drug is possible, but not more than twice.
It should be remembered that all drugs are medical, which means that they have their own contraindications. We do not recommend taking pregnancy and breastfeeding as well as kidney disease.
Local medicines
Preparation of local exposure includes solutions for external use, ointment or cream. Ointments are usually applied directly to the nail and the skin next to it three times a day. The product was preceded by thorough wash with soap.
If the area of injury is still relatively small, a special nail polish can get rid of the fungus. This device is used as a regular pedicure lacquer, with a thin layer directly on the affected disk twice a week. For prevention, lacquer and healthy adjacent fingers should be treated as disputes spread very quickly and easily in space.
So there is a huge amount. The dermatologist will help you choose the desired, most appropriate medicine in some cases. The nails and legs mushrooms are very common infection, so the tube with the cream should be present in the medicine cabinet of each family.
