Causes of mushrooms standing
Infection of humans, mainly in contact with a sick person, animals, through ordinary items (combing, beds, slippers at home, bath carpets, etc. ). Paradoxically, today, people who are actively involved in sports, visiting pools, saunas, bathrooms, public recovery, training rooms and using the same sports equipment undergo this disease.
A special role in the development of fungi in the foot is played by excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), a disturbed metabolism, the presence of diabetic disease, AIDS, overweight, a decrease in immune protection against the background of antibiotics or oral contraceptives. Moreover, excessive consumption of high -calorie cakes and foods contributes to the appearance of endocrine disorders, which facilitates the process of taking fungi.
Diagnosing a fungal nail disease, such as its treatment, is performed by a mycologist, but in some cases, a dermatologist consultation is also required.
Symptoms of fungal lesions in the foot
The fungal disease of the nail plate on the fingers is called onycomycosis. The main symptom of the manifestation of the infection is a change in the color of the nail plate, which becomes yellow green. After some time, it loses its brightness, becoming pale, thickening and porosity develops.
The disease itself will not disappear, the fungus is very patient. Gradually, in the development process, the fungus affects all parts of the nail, completely destroying it, after which it begins to affect other nails, and often the skin. Treatment of affected skin does not eliminate fungi, it is necessary to affect the focus of the disease.
Fleet
Not long ago, nail fungus on the foot were treated only with operating tools removing the nail plate. However, this technique was completely ineffective, as in most cases the nail that grew again was also affected by a fungus infection. Nowadays, the surgical method is used only with particularly severe forms of onycomycosis.
As mentioned above, the disease can be treated at home using traditional medicine recipes in the early stages of its development and in the absence of complications. With a minor nail damage, local medicines with antifungal properties are used. They are applied to the plate, usually twice a day. Due to the penetration of the drug into the nail and its accumulation there, effective treatment of fungi is performed there, as well as preventing the development of mycosis. Such drugs include ointments, lotions, spraying, lotions, powder. Such drugs are used, as a rule, before growing healthy nails. There are also pulse therapy schemes that can significantly reduce the course of treatment (up to several weeks). Before using medication, it is necessary to perform preparatory measures. To do this, for fifteen minutes it is necessary to take a soap-soda bath, after which the dead nail parts must be cut and treated with a separate file.

The development of side effects from taking new medicines is minimal. Moreover, in the field of hardware cosmetology, the training was advanced, to which special nail mills were added.
