The problem of fungal damage to the nail plate on the legs is now familiar to every tenth resident of the planet. If the disease has appeared only, popular remedies can help, in more advanced cases, modern antifungal drugs are used. Despite the fact that this disease does not cause us any inconvenience, except aesthetic, it is important to take it timely in a timely manner, and do not let the matter alone, since in the process of reproducing the nails, the mushrooms secrete toxins which, when they enter the bloodstream, begin to poison our body and inhibit the immune system.
The causes of the mushroom on the legs
Infection of people, mainly in contact with a sick person, animals, through common objects (combs, bed linen, home slippers, bathroom rugs, etc. ). Paradoxically, today, people who are actively involved in sports, visits swimming pools, saunas, bathrooms, public recovery, training rooms and use of the same sports equipment are subject to this disease.
A special role in the development of the mushroom on the legs is played by excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), a disturbed metabolism, the presence of diabetic diseases, AIDS, obesity, a decrease in immune protection against the background of antibiotics or oral contraceptives. In addition, excessive consumption of sweets and high -level calories foods contributes to the occurrence of endocrine disorders, which facilitates the process of taking mushrooms.
The diagnosis of a fungal nail disease on the legs, like its treatment, is carried out by a mycologist, but in some cases a dermatologist consultation is also required.
Symptoms of fungal injuries on the legs
The fungal disease of the nail plate on the fingers is called onyicomicosis. The main symptom of the event manifestation is a change in the color of the nail plate, which becomes green yellow. After some time, it loses its splendor, becoming weak, the thickening and porosity develops.
The disease itself will not disappear, the mushroom is very tenacious. Gradually, in the development process, the mushroom affects all parts of the nail, destroying it completely, after which it starts to hit other nails and often the skin. The treatment of the skin concerned does not eliminate the mushroom, it is necessary to influence the outbreaks of the disease.
Fleet treatment
Not long ago, the nail fungus on the legs was treated only with operational vehicles by removing the nail plate. However, this technique was completely ineffective, since in most cases the nail that has grown was also influenced by a fungal infection. Nowadays, the surgical method is used only with particularly serious forms of onychomycosis.
As noted 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 slight damage to the nails, local drugs with anti -ifying properties are used. They are applied to the dish, usually twice a day. Due to the penetration of the drug in the nail and its accumulation there, an effective mushroom treatment is carried out, as well as the prevention of the development of mycosis. These drugs include ointments, creams, spray, lotions, dust. These drugs are used, as a rule, before healthy nails grow. There are also pulse therapy patterns that can significantly reduce the course of the treatment (up to several weeks). Before using drugs, 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 parts of the nails must be cut and treated with a special file.

The latest developments in the fight against fungal infections have developed combined drugs, which, in addition to destroying the mushroom, soften the masses of the horn, which prevent the thickening of the nail plate. The development of side effects from taking new drugs is minimal. In addition, the drill were advanced in the field of hardware cosmetology, where special nails mills were added.
