Fungal infection on the legs, its second name is considered a fairly common disease.
Although it is actually difficult to get infected with the disease, it is difficult to get rid of it due to frequent recurrences.So after several failed attempts to treat the nail fungus arises how to treat it to forever forget it.
Practice shows that complex therapies have good results, including medications and treatments for folk therapies at home.
How fungal infections spread
The basis of all fungal diseases is a contagious and is caused by pathogens.Her favorable areas are usually leather and nail plates.In most cases, infection occurs during exposure.
When simple personal hygiene rules are ignored, infections in healthy people can occur:
- No shoes in public places (pool, gym, beach);
- Shared with Onichimicosis toilets, towels, shoes and things;
- Nail treatments are performed with manicure accessories without initial sterilization.
An advantageous condition for further growth of pathogenic microorganisms is to increase humidity.It may be like wet conditions on the bathtub, pool and beach, sweating on your legs in socks, socks and narrow shoes.
We send an alarm!
Mushrooms that have settled on the nails are easy to cause a lot of sadness and trouble for us alone.Despite the fact that infections on tissues spread, but not so quickly, a gradual change in nail shape can lead to a loss of its normal appearance and, in some cases, even pain.
It is important to obtain expert consultation in the following signs:
- Nails start to lose their natural luster and change their color.After exposure to the fungus, it may turn into a muddy white brown or gray-green color.
- The nails lose their natural shape and begin to thicken, crack or exfoliate.
- Formation of axial hypersensitivity disorders (accumulation of keratin nail mass below the plate);
- Inflammation of nail holes;
- Unpleasant smell.
We make an appointment with the doctor
After noticing the first sign of fungal infection, go to the doctor immediately, without expecting a miracle.The disease itself does not disappear and when tightened it can affect healthy areas, causing allergic reactions and reducing the body's immune function.Additionally, the transition to a chronic form of the disease is very difficult to treat and leads to frequent recurrences.
Advice is recommended from piracy scientists who specialize in this type of disease.The doctor not only conducted examinations, but also carried out diagnostic measures.During the inspection, the thickness and structure of the nail plate are determined, tissue scratches are performed for further analysis, which will determine the type of fungus and prescribe the necessary treatments.
It is not recommended to purchase medications independently without a doctor's prescription, as some of them are absolutely not effective against certain types of fungal infections.Waste time will only exacerbate the disease.
As a help, you can try using folk remedies at home.But I want to say immediately that only in combination with medical drugs can we achieve greater impact.
External treatment
Since the maximum effect of the active substance falls only on the surface of the nail plate, local treatments for topical treatment in the intermediate and late stages are considered to be ineffective.However, in the nails and insides, as well as in the boxes and substrates, these drugs do not penetrate and therefore have no chance to fight the infected pathogen.
Only local treatments at home can be effective.
- The disease is in its initial stages:
- Fungus is less than half the nail plate.
- Small sub-ray high breast cancer;
- No more than 2 nails on the legs.
Partial removal of affected nail angle structures is prescribed before processing with antifungal compounds.Various drops, ointments and varnishes can be used for treatment.
Treatment drugs
If the external drug does not have the desired effect and the fungal infection continues to progress, the doctor will be prescribed systemic therapy, which involves appointments for stronger products.
Systemic antifungal drugs are specified in the following circumstances:
- The disease is in its late stages;
- Most nail plates are affected;
- Strong forms of hypervenereal disease or schizophrenia;
- diabetes;
- The patient has a history of more than 50 years.
Laser Therapy

Laser therapy received good reviews.This is one of the few treatments that provide guaranteed results.
Laser treatment is absolutely painless, so no anesthetic is required.Its advantages include lack of side effects when using tablet medication.
The processing of the nail plate is carried out through the infrared spectrum of the laser.Prior to the surgery, the patient steamed his legs in a soda bath for 20 minutes, cleaning the affected area on his nails well.The laser treatment process comes from 6-10 procedures.
The disadvantage of treatment is the lack of immediate results.Only found in 2-3 months.
The effect after laser treatment can be achieved when combining treatment with medication or replacing it with folk therapy at home.
The cost of treating laser treatment depends on the area of damage to the nail plate.
Treatment of traditional medical recipes
As an adjunctive therapy at home, you can use traditional medical recipes that can have excellent results in the treatment of fungal infections.It should be noted that some of them will not eliminate it, but will simply pause the development of pathogens.Therefore, these treatments are recommended until the visible features completely disappear.
Apple cider vinegar treatment
Apple cider vinegar is one of the effective ways to get rid of fungi.After treating the surface of the nail with a special compound prepared by vinegar, an acidic medium is formed in its tissues, which does not allow the creation of favorable conditions for the development of fungal microorganisms.
For preparation, you can use several proven recipes:
- Add vinegar bath.For 3 liters of water, about one liter of apple cider vinegar will be required and a small amount of high potassium is required to obtain a light pink component.To perform water flow, the solution should be heated happily.Use vinegar bathroom for 7 days for 10-15 minutes, then you need a short break and repeat the lesson again.
- Use vinegar ointment.In this case, it is necessary to prepare the components prepared with eucalyptus oil (30 g), honey (10 g), apple cider vinegar (1 teaspoon) with each other.To avoid losing the healing properties of the obtained ointment, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator.
Soda Water Treatment
In addition, soda paste has positive reviews.To prepare it, you only need three ingredients: soda, water, and citric acid.Stir the required soda thoroughly with a small amount of water until a paste mixture forms.We applied the resulting mass to the pre-degraded nails, after which we dripped a few drops of lemon juice and waited for the chemistry.It is expressed in the form of a slight hissing and a small pinch.After 10 minutes, you can wash off the paste and rinse the legs with warm water to dry.
Folk therapy
Using folk therapy to treat thyroid diseases can have positive effects when using the following recipes:
- Treat the honeycomb solution of affected nails with 20% honeycomb therapy daily;
- Prepare a dirty thing from fresh onions and apply nails to patients every day;
- Lubricate damaged nails with Celandine Juice every week.The treatment process is about 3 months;
- On the soreness of the nail, drop 1 drop of 5% iodine solution.Treatment lasts 20-30 days.Don't be afraid of the itchy and burning appearance.This fact demonstrates the effectiveness of exposure.
It takes a lot of time and effort to get rid of fungal infections.Don't wait for immediate results.Be patient, please follow the instructions.Then at some point you will see the result: the damaged area gradually begins to leave, its position occupied by healthy pink nails.
