Fingless nail mushroom on toes (onychomicosis of the legs) is a contagious disease that has manifested on the nails dermatomicete, mold or fungus similar to yeasts.According to statistics, the prevalence of this disease in the population reaches 10%.
The risk of contracting onychomicosis legs directly depends on the social and climatic conditions of the person's residence, its gender, age profession and the presence or absence of other diseases.
In this way or another, due to the high infection and ability to significantly deteriorate the quality of the patient's daily life, this pathology requires timely detection and competent, comprehensive treatment.
Nail symptoms
Depending on the symptomatic events, there are three types of ONY micromicosis of the leg:
- hypertrophic;
- normotroph;
- atrophic.
Hypertrophic nail damage is characterized by noticeable thickening and deformation of nail panels, loss of gloss and appearance of a kind of "corrosion" to their edges.The clinical picture of the disease can be supplemented by the appearance of pain and the development of onyhogriffosis (pathology in which nails take the appearances of claw birds).
With an opening of the normotrophic type, yellow or white stripes and stains appear on the nail tiles.At the same time nails retain their configuration, shine and thickness.With atrophic onychomicosis, nail plate is quickly separated from the nail bed, it becomes boring and acquires a gray brown color.The exposed surface of the skin becomes covered with loose hypercheralatotic layers.
Clinical signs of nail mushrooms form the basis of another classification of ONY micromiquites, which mostly use foreign doctors.Based on this typology, 4 forms of disease may differ:
- Distal (Damage to the free edge of the nail);
- proximal (damage called background);
- lateral (nail damage from sides);
- Total (damage to the entire nail plate).
The weight of the OTYhyComiS event must be taken into account when drafting the therapeutic program.
Nail fungel treatment
The diagnosis of "onychomicosis legs" is performed on the basis of the results of the visual medical examination, PCR test, microscopic and cultural studies.The execution of the above tests allows us to obtain a conclusion not only about the presence of a fungal infection, but also on the type of pathogen.
Now a few words about how to cure nail fungal as soon as possible.The Ethiotopic treatment program for Onychomicosis includes the use of local and systemic drugs.The most effective means for local fungus treatment on nail plates are:
- antifungal keratolytic fat, gels and creams;
- Specialized mortars for mechanical removal of affected nails;
- Antifungal varnishes based on Ciclopirox, amoral or mixtures of salicyl, benzoic, lactic acid and resorcinol.
Today, the system therapy seems to be the most relevant for nodes of fungus.In recent years, a series of general antimycotic drugs have been developed that can increase the efficiency of ony micromicosis to 90%.
Nail medicines
Varnishes are considered the most efficient antimical lights.The main difference of product characteristics is their ability to destroy pathogen in deep nail layers and penetrate the nail bed.Antifungal creams and fats include products containing terbinafines.These products are applied daily to affected nail plates and rubbing gently until it is completely absorbed.The duration of the treatment for onychomicosis with fats and creams may differ from 2-6 weeks.The process of using antifungal agents agents should be previously agreed by a dermatologist.
The selection of systemic drugs is taken into account the severity of the disease and the presence or absence of contraindices on their use in the patient.
Prevention of nail fungus
The main measures aimed at preventing the development of onypromicosis of the leg are:
- Avoiding mechanical trauma on nail plates;
- Refusal to wear rough, narrow and sick shoes;
- Careful processing tool for pedicure;
- use of individual shoes when visiting the bathroom, sauna and pool;
- Monitoring of pet health status, timely treatment with identified pathologies;
- Excluding cases of use of toilet supplies, clothing, towels and shoes belonging to other people;
- timely detection and treatment of disease;
- Performing activities aimed at strengthening the immune forces of the body.
It is important to understand that onnikhomyosis self-cleaning often not only does not achieve the expected results, but also significantly complicates the course of the disease.Therefore, before using any medications or folk drugs, you should coordinate the treatment program with an experienced dermatologist.
