The change of the shape and color of the nails, split pairs, dryness and flaking – so give to know the fungus. Falling down in the distance, is quick to learn and perfectly feels, the bottom of the plate of the nail and feed on keratin, of which it is a member. Little by little fungi, the mycelium grows and eventually destroys the nail. Then correct the situation, only foreign media because there was no need comprehensive drug treatment, with the use of the pills, sometimes drippers (if the doctor-mycologist located in the nail of a mold).
But until the time has not come and the fungus has managed to "conquer" only the edge of the surface of the nail, affecting no more than 2/3 of the surface, can be a blow ahead of the curve and kill him with the help of a course of antifungal drops.
How to choose an effective remedy against fungus on the feet?
Before you start the treatment and buy the drops of the nail fungus, you have to understand what is a parasite to deal with. Often not invited the representatives of one of the three classes of mushrooms:
- exerts the action antifungal – in the fight against them are effective remedies, in function of engulfing and allylamine;
- the candida die after the interaction with polyene antifungal agents, including drugs nystatin group;
- the mold is a powerful enemy, who is afraid of only antimicotica of the class echinocandins.
Recognize the mushrooms can be external of the characteristics:
- Exerts the action antifungal begin to "eat" the nail with the free edge, slowly moving towards the hole. The plate yellow, becomes rigid, corrugated, begins hyperkeratosis – increased thickness of the nail.
- The candida behaves differently. She first hit the nail on the base, it begins to deteriorate near the hole, and then as the fungus grows up to the edges. The plate can be yellow and be white, but the growth no longer is a fungus that destroys the cells responsible for the growth of the nail.
- The mold causes the plate to darken, to be covered with dark spots and stripes. In addition, it is rarely limited to just one with the nail. Quickly the collapse of its, the mold is applicable to your soft tissues.
This is how mushrooms should behave in the scenario of the text books, but in practice, to distinguish exerts the action antifungal of candida in an only external signs, not always under force to expert dermatologist. Latent phase of development of a fungal infection can be tightened in the coming years and to classify the fungus in the beginning is very difficult.
That is why to decide which of the active substance for use in the treatment and, therefore, what are the drops you buy, the doctor can only and exclusively after receiving the conclusion of the lab. Therefore, do not be surprised if in the office of the dermatologist can do a scraping of the nail. Received disputes in the laboratory to grow and then you will see clearly what the mushroom was installed in the leg.

- The drops of terbinafine hydrochloride complies with all the types of nail fungus. This means that any fungus, nor were in the high – yeast, rancid or has the action-antifungal – terbinafine hydrochloride your sooner or later will triumph (the average duration of treatment is 6 months, drip two times a day).
- The drops with the substance amorolfine. Affects the synthesis of the sterols that make up the cells of the fungus. To intervene in this process, amorolfine gradually changes the structure and destroys it. More effective in with representatives of the species of candida.
- Drops composed of derivatives of the substance of allylamine – naftifin. Particularly detrimental affects to the cells are dermatophytes, and it is precisely these fungi in 8 out of every 10 nest in the interior of the surface of the nail.
Ointment of fungi
An innovative tool to combat the fungus, which is made up of natural ingredients, which eliminates the side effects. The active substances of the drug have the property to accumulate in the body, which increases the immunity and reduces the risk of re-infection. This tool is completely safe and allows a short period of time to get rid of mold and mildew.

How it works in the medication to fight the fungi from the nails of the feet in the drops
Depending on the type of active substance which enters into the composition of the drug, the drops of rain against the nail fungus on the legs act in one of two directions:
- Destroy the structure of the cells that make up a fungus-fungicide influence.
- Slow down the process of cell division, that is to say, not to give multiply – fungistatic action.
Drugs fungicidal impact are working against the adult forms of the fungus, but they are powerless fungal spores. While the drops of fungistatic action of killing more young people in the way. It is evident that to destroy mycelium of mushroom, which has become entrenched in the nail plate, but only by the drug that you are going to have at the same time, fungicide, and fungistatic effect. Fortunately, most of the drops act in both directions. And yet, to understand the pharmacological properties of the medication and make the appointment should the doctor.
The drops that there is another strong side – that will not only destroy the organisms of fungi, but also prevent the spread of pathogenic processes in the surrounding tissues. Therefore, as soon as they suspect a case of nail fungus, immediately take the steps and start the treatment of the drops. Otherwise, the mycelium is put at the side of the skin of the roller, to be spread throughout the foot and then stop it only you can throughout the system of treatment of pills and ointments.

As properly applying the drops of nail fungi?
The only difficulty related to the application of drops, in the sense that the sick, as a general rule, it is difficult to assigned to drip directly onto the affected area. The fact that in the great majority of cases, the fungus spreading under the nail plate and to get there, using the outside of the tool – ointments, creams, sprays, drops of rain – it is not easy. Therefore, to that the substance has entered directly into the lens, and the treatment is actually effective, the patient must follow some recommendations.
- As it should to steam foot in the tub special. The ideal solution would be the use of an antiseptic – iodine, potassium permanganate, sodium bicarbonate, laundry soap. You can experiment with decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants. Are effective when the fungus Euphorbia, marigold, chamomile, and essential oils, and sea salt.
- If the nail has already started to come away from the nail, the free edge, should be cut off, and the surface of the plate sanding nail file.
- If the fungus is caught by the larger part of the nail, that is to say, its meaning, and delete. To do this, we use special solutions that will soften the plate, and through various uses can be without difficulty removed.
Indications and contraindications
Treat onychomycosis in the eye drops is recommended only in an early stage of the disease. For it is characterized by its symptoms:
- yellowing of the nail surface in one of the edges or at the base;

The clinical picture may not change in a few years, and during all this time, the disease will be in a dormant phase healthy the immune system will not give mycelium spread deeply. But even a slight decrease of the immunity is able to give a new impetus to the disease, and then the nail will begin to deteriorate very quickly.
As soon as the mycelium of a mushroom takes 2/3 of the surface is the surface of the nail, to cure the onychomycosis, the drops no longer. To completely get rid of the aggressive parasite will be possible only after a long course of therapy. But keep in mind that most of the antifungal tablets are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, as well as for the treatment of children under the age of 12 years.

The prevention of fungus in toenails
According to statistics, 35% of patients are infected by the fungus without leaving the house. In the area of risk in families in which older persons live. Are more affected by the mycosis by natural age changes that occur in your body. The decrease of the immunity, atrophic disease, and of difficult bloodstream causing outbreaks of infections in the nails.
To avoid that the rest of the members of the family, should not walk home barefoot, and get outside of the sneaker. In patients should be separate foot towel, and the bathroom is better than being in your own rubber mat. By the way, bring of fungi in the home can and pet – dog sick mycosis as often as hosts.
Among others, the most likely places of infection – the public baths, swimming pools, parks and gyms. To protect yourself of the fungus in conditions of high humidity and with large concentrations of people, is almost impossible.
