Treatment of nail fungiOnychomycosis is a fungal infection, generally caused by a special type of fungus, called dermatophyte. Since most of these infections are relatively superficial, it would seem that current procedures work well. This is not the case, because the nail is relatively impenetrable. Examples of states which are often confused with fungal nails include yellow (onycholysis), hematoma, green nails (caused by pseudomonas bacteria), bones (generally associated with psoriasis), nails infection (steamonichia) and late injuries.What other conditions can be taken for fungal nails?Here are some other conditions that can be instead of fungal nails: Lines and ridges: they are common and can be considered normal. They can worsen during pregnancy. A large groove in the center of the nail can be caused by injuries. Some people may notice these changes after chemotherapy.Senile nails: with age, nails become fragile and develop the ridges and separation of nail layers at the end of the nail. To avoid this, it is necessary to use special solutions and baths.White or yellowish nails can occur due to onycholysis. This means separating the plate from the nail base. The color that the shape is the air under the nail. The treatment consists in briefly cutting the plate, not cleaning below and polishing. If you need to hide the color, you should wait two to three months. Constant onkelos can make the nails sensitive to a fungal infection. Red or black plates due to hematoma or blood under the nail, as a rule, occur from an injury. If there is a black point under the nail, which is not caused by an injury, you must visit a dermatologist or orthopedic to ensure that it is not melanoma (the type of skin cancer associated with pigmented cells). A simple biopsy can exclude the malignant tumor (cancer). Green plates can be caused by Pseudomonas bacteria, which develop under the nail, which is partially separated from the nail base. This infection can cause an unpleasant smell of the nails. The treatment is to briefly cut the nails every four weeks, not to clean, to polish if you need to hide the color and wait two to three months. It is also recommended to avoid soaking the plates in any water (and to dry the legs carefully after the bath. If the problem has not disappeared, there are prescriptions of medication that the doctor prescribes. Nails affected by psoriasis can also be brown.The edema and redness of the skin around the nail are called paronychia. It is an infection of the skin at the bottom of the nail (cuticle). If the infection is acute (has a quick start), it is generally caused by bacteria. It can react to hot baths, but it is better not to self-mediate, but see a doctor immediately. Chronic paronichy occurs when the cuticle is inflamed or irritated over time. Sometimes mushrooms will use damaged skin and infect it. Therapy begins with the fact that the skin remains dry and excreted with water. If the problem does not disappear, you should consult a doctor. Antibiotics are not often used, but may be necessary with serious infection. 
The chronic nail lesion can cause nail damage, which can very much look like fungal nails. Some injuries can cause constant changes that can imitate the appearance of fungal nails. Microconidiii trichophyton fungus, who live in the ground and can cause fungal infections of the skin, hair or nails.What causes fungal infections and what are certain risk factors?In normal healthy people, fungal nail infections are most often caused by a fungus, which falls into wetlands. Common showers, as in the gymnasium or swimming pools, common sources. The transition to nails that use inadequate cleaning of the tools (for example, clipping it, nets and foot baths) in addition to life with family members who suffer from fungal diseases, are also risk factors. Athletes have been proven to be more sensitive to the fungus of the nail.It is assumed that this is due to the fact that the densely tight sweaty boots associated with the repeated wound of the nails on the legs. The presence of sports charges makes it more likely that the fungus will infect the nails on the legs. The repeated injury also weakens the plate, which makes it more likely to fungal infection. These include everything that aggravates the immune system can make a person subject to infection by a fungus. These include conditions such as AIDS, diabetes, cancer, psoriasis or the adoption of any immunosuppressant, such as steroids.Are fungal nails contagious?Although the fungus is obtained somewhere, it is not very contagious. It is so common to find more than one person in a family that has this is nothing more than accidental coincidence. The fungus can be transmitted from one person to another, but only with constant intimate contact. What are the fungal symptoms and nail signs?Although fungal nails are generally aesthetic problems, some patients experience pain and discomfort. These symptoms can be aggravated by shoes, activity and poor nail trim. There are many types of fungi that can affect nails. However, the most common, however, is called Trichophyton Rubrum. This type of fungus tends to infect the skin (called dermatophyte) and is manifested in the following specific methods. It starts at the ends of the nails and lifts the plate up: it is called "distal onychomycosis". This is the most common fungal infection type of nails in adults and children (90% of cases).
It is more common in the toes, the thumb is generally the first to influence. Risk factors include elderly age, swimming, sports charges, psoriasis, diabetes, infected family members or a depressed immune system. Usually it starts like an colorless area by the thumb and slowly spreads to the cuticle. It is often accompanied by onycholysis. The most common cause is T.It starts at the base of the nail and lifts a nail: it is called "proximal tendon onychomycosis". This is the least common fungal damage type (around 3% of cases). It looks like a distal type, but starts with a cuticle (nail base) and slowly spreads at the tip of the nail. This type is almost always in people with a damaged immune system. It is rarely possible to see fragments under the tip of the nail with this condition, unlike distal onychomycosis. The most common cause is the T. Rubrum and Dermatophyte mold. ONYCHODYCOSIS: This type is caused by the yeast called Candida, not the Mushroom of Trichophyton, named above. This is more common in the nails and is a common cause of fungal nails. Patients can be associated with paronychia (infection of cuticles). Candida can cause yellow, brown, white or thickened nails. Some people who have this infection also have mushrooms in their mouths or chronic paronichy), which is also infected with pores. White surface onychomycosis: In this state of nail, a doctor can often clean the white powder material on the upper part of the nail plate. This condition is the most frequent in tropical environments and caused by a well -known fungus and trihofitii management.What tests are used by health specialists to diagnose fungal nails?It has been shown that a single physical examination is an unreliable method to diagnose fungal nails. There are many conditions that can make nails damaged, so even doctors have time. In fact, studies have shown that only about 50% - 60% of abnormal nail appearance cases were caused by a fungus. Therefore, laboratory tests are almost always indicated. Some insurance companies may even request confirmation of a laboratory test for diagnoses to cover antifungal medicine. A sample plate is obtained either by cutting the nail, or by piercing a hole in it. This part is sent to the laboratory where it can be painted, cultivated or tested using PCR (to identify the genetic material of organisms) to identify the presence of the fungus.If the negative result of the biopsy is accompanied by a high clinical suspicion, for example, the plates which are in tatters, whitated, thickened and cowardly, this requires a second test because of the prevalence of false negative results in these tests. Most drugs used to treat nail fungi have side effects, so you should familiarize yourself with contraindications. 
What specialists treat nail fungus?There are several doctors who can provide treatment for the nail fungus. The attending physician, dermatologist or orthopedist can treat nail fungi. All these doctors can provide an appropriate diagnosis and prescribe drugs specific to fungal infection. An orthopedic or a dermatologist can shake the upper layer of the nail or even remove part of the nail.What treatment of fungal nails is necessary?Creams and other relevant drugs are traditionally less effective against nail fungi than oral drugs. This is due to the fact that the nails are too complicated for the penetration of external applications. It is also difficult to adhere to the local processing patterns. Often these drugs require daily applications during the period up to a year to see the results. One of the main advantages of local treatment is the minimum risk of serious side effects and interaction with drugs compared to oral therapy.Corail antifungal therapy works in around 50 to 75% of cases, depending on the drug. This can take nine to twelve months to make sure it worked or not, because it is the duration of your nail creation. Even when therapy works, the fungus can return in around 20 to 50% of cases. Currently, oral antifungal treatment is considered the best tool to treat fungi on the legs due to higher healing rate and shorter treatment duration compared to local therapy. There are several innovative treatment methods that are still verified:Laser therapy or photodynamic therapy use the use of active light agents on a plate, followed by a brilliant light of the corresponding wavelength on the nail.The use of electric current to help the absorption of relevant antifungal drugs in a nail: it is also called iontophores.The use of a special nail polish that changes the nail microclimate to make it inhospitable for mushroom growth: if it works, this can be an inexpensive way to deal with this problem in the future.A way to finally get rid of the nail fungus is the operation. Surgical treatment of onhomycosis includes the elimination of nails. However, this often provides only temporary relief, and the relapse is common if additional antifungal drugs (oral or local) are not used at the same time. However, surgical elimination can be justified if the affected nail is associated with other factors such as injuries or infection. Is it possible to prevent the appearance of nail mushrooms on the legs?
Since mushrooms really thrive in hot wetlands (for example, sweaty legs), certain areas should be avoided or used with caution. It is assumed that showers, changing rooms and swimming pools are sources of mushrooms, although there is no study confirming this fact.Nail polish and acrylic nails also make a plate less "breathing" and make it more sensitive to fungal infection. Mushrooms are everywhere - in air, dust and the ground. Hygienic measures, such as spraying socks and shoes, are reasonable, and perhaps these measures can even help a little. Nevertheless, avoiding dense and non -breathed boots or sex for sports facilities, this may well be the best prevention. The daily washing of the legs and the drying between the fingers can help prevent the fungus of the nails. Mushrooms are transferred to pets, such as cats and dogs. However, they do not often cause illness. How to determine the nail mushrooms?Treatment of fungal nails can be difficult and can take up to 18 months. Reinfection and reinfection are common (frequency of infection re-40% to 70%). An attempt to remove or modify risk factors, if possible, is important to prevent reinfection. People with medical diseases that predispose them to fungal lesions can be cured even longer of the fungus.Advice for prevention of nail fungi treatmentThe fungus causes only 50% to 60% of normally inflated nails. It is difficult to immediately note the difference between the various reasons for the bleached nails (even for doctors). Onychomycosis is often not treated. The reasons why medical treatment is mainly necessary with injuries of the skin of the legs or nails.

There are several innovative treatment methods that are still verified:Laser therapy or photodynamic therapy use the use of active light agents on a plate, followed by a brilliant light of the corresponding wavelength on the nail.The use of electric current to help the absorption of relevant antifungal drugs in a nail: it is also called iontophores.The use of a special nail polish that changes the nail microclimate to make it inhospitable for mushroom growth: if it works, this can be an inexpensive way to deal with this problem in the future.A way to finally get rid of the nail fungus is the operation. Surgical treatment of onhomycosis includes the elimination of nails. However, this often provides only temporary relief, and the relapse is common if additional antifungal drugs (oral or local) are not used at the same time. However, surgical elimination can be justified if the affected nail is associated with other factors such as injuries or infection. Is it possible to prevent the appearance of nail mushrooms on the legs?Since mushrooms really thrive in hot wetlands (for example, sweaty legs), certain areas should be avoided or used with caution. It is assumed that showers, changing rooms and swimming pools are sources of mushrooms, although there is no study confirming this fact.Nail polish and acrylic nails also make a plate less "breathing" and make it more sensitive to fungal infection. Mushrooms are everywhere - in air, dust and the ground. Hygienic measures, such as spraying socks and shoes, are reasonable, and perhaps these measures can even help a little. Nevertheless, avoiding dense and non -breathed boots or sex for sports facilities, this may well be the best prevention. The daily washing of the legs and the drying between the fingers can help prevent the fungus of the nails. Mushrooms are transferred to pets, such as cats and dogs. However, they do not often cause illness. How to determine the nail mushrooms?Treatment of fungal nails can be difficult and can take up to 18 months. Reinfection and reinfection are common (frequency of infection re-40% to 70%). An attempt to remove or modify risk factors, if possible, is important to prevent reinfection. People with medical diseases that predispose them to fungal lesions can be cured even longer of the fungus.Advice for prevention of nail fungi treatmentThe fungus causes only 50% to 60% of normally inflated nails. It is difficult to immediately note the difference between the various reasons for the bleached nails (even for doctors). Onychomycosis is often not treated. The reasons why medical treatment is mainly necessary with injuries of the skin of the legs or nails.
What are the fungal symptoms and nail signs?Although fungal nails are generally aesthetic problems, some patients experience pain and discomfort. These symptoms can be aggravated by shoes, activity and poor nail trim. There are many types of fungi that can affect nails. However, the most common, however, is called Trichophyton Rubrum. This type of fungus tends to infect the skin (called dermatophyte) and is manifested in the following specific methods. It starts at the ends of the nails and lifts the plate up: it is called "distal onychomycosis". This is the most common fungal infection type of nails in adults and children (90% of cases).It is more common in the toes, the thumb is generally the first to influence. Risk factors include elderly age, swimming, sports charges, psoriasis, diabetes, infected family members or a depressed immune system. Usually it starts like an colorless area by the thumb and slowly spreads to the cuticle. It is often accompanied by onycholysis. The most common cause is T.It starts at the base of the nail and lifts a nail: it is called "proximal tendon onychomycosis". This is the least common fungal damage type (around 3% of cases). It looks like a distal type, but starts with a cuticle (nail base) and slowly spreads at the tip of the nail. This type is almost always in people with a damaged immune system. It is rarely possible to see fragments under the tip of the nail with this condition, unlike distal onychomycosis. The most common cause is the T. Rubrum and Dermatophyte mold. ONYCHODYCOSIS: This type is caused by the yeast called Candida, not the Mushroom of Trichophyton, named above. This is more common in the nails and is a common cause of fungal nails. Patients can be associated with paronychia (infection of cuticles). Candida can cause yellow, brown, white or thickened nails. Some people who have this infection also have mushrooms in their mouths or chronic paronichy), which is also infected with pores. White surface onychomycosis: In this state of nail, a doctor can often clean the white powder material on the upper part of the nail plate. This condition is the most frequent in tropical environments and caused by a well -known fungus and trihofitii management.What tests are used by health specialists to diagnose fungal nails?It has been shown that a single physical examination is an unreliable method to diagnose fungal nails. There are many conditions that can make nails damaged, so even doctors have time. In fact, studies have shown that only about 50% - 60% of abnormal nail appearance cases were caused by a fungus. Therefore, laboratory tests are almost always indicated. Some insurance companies may even request confirmation of a laboratory test for diagnoses to cover antifungal medicine. A sample plate is obtained either by cutting the nail, or by piercing a hole in it. This part is sent to the laboratory where it can be painted, cultivated or tested using PCR (to identify the genetic material of organisms) to identify the presence of the fungus.If the negative result of the biopsy is accompanied by a high clinical suspicion, for example, the plates which are in tatters, whitated, thickened and cowardly, this requires a second test because of the prevalence of false negative results in these tests. Most drugs used to treat nail fungi have side effects, so you should familiarize yourself with contraindications. What specialists treat nail fungus?There are several doctors who can provide treatment for the nail fungus. The attending physician, dermatologist or orthopedist can treat nail fungi. All these doctors can provide an appropriate diagnosis and prescribe drugs specific to fungal infection. An orthopedic or a dermatologist can shake the upper layer of the nail or even remove part of the nail.What treatment of fungal nails is necessary?Creams and other relevant drugs are traditionally less effective against nail fungi than oral drugs. This is due to the fact that the nails are too complicated for the penetration of external applications. It is also difficult to adhere to the local processing patterns. Often these drugs require daily applications during the period up to a year to see the results. One of the main advantages of local treatment is the minimum risk of serious side effects and interaction with drugs compared to oral therapy.Corail antifungal therapy works in around 50 to 75% of cases, depending on the drug. This can take nine to twelve months to make sure it worked or not, because it is the duration of your nail creation. Even when therapy works, the fungus can return in around 20 to 50% of cases. Currently, oral antifungal treatment is considered the best tool to treat fungi on the legs due to higher healing rate and shorter treatment duration compared to local therapy. There are several innovative treatment methods that are still verified:Laser therapy or photodynamic therapy use the use of active light agents on a plate, followed by a brilliant light of the corresponding wavelength on the nail.The use of electric current to help the absorption of relevant antifungal drugs in a nail: it is also called iontophores.The use of a special nail polish that changes the nail microclimate to make it inhospitable for mushroom growth: if it works, this can be an inexpensive way to deal with this problem in the future.A way to finally get rid of the nail fungus is the operation.
