The treatment of fungal diseases must necessarily pass under the supervision of a dermatologist.In case of self -mate, incorrectly selected antifungal agents may lead to temporary improvements without cure the disease itself.
When choosing the therapy method, it is necessary to take into account the area and the form of damage, the degree of prevalence of the fungus, the presence of concomitant diseases, the age of the patient.
Antifungal medications are divided into two types: for external and internal use.The external agents themselves are effective only in the early stages of the disease, so treatment should be complex: the fungus should be acted on the outside and inside.
Internal drugs
For successful and safe treatment of fungal diseases, it is advisable to adhere to certain rules with internal antifungal medications:
- The diagnosis should be confirmed by a doctor.
- For the treatment period with internal antifungal medications, it is advisable to limit the use of other medications except vital.
- Drugs should be used under the supervision of a doctor for a long time until the fungus disappears completely.
- Control tests should be performed at the beginning every 2 weeks and then 1 time per month.Control scraping - 6 months after the end of treatment.When detecting the fungus, treatment is required.
Currently, dermatologists consider pulse therapy the most effective and safe treatment method, taking a drug with long intervals.In some cases, a 1 week therapy course is prescribed, after which follows a three -week break and then a new seven -day treatment course.During ingestion, the drug accumulates in the body and, in subsequent weeks, continues to actively combat the infection.
The complete course of therapy is usually designed for three months.However, after its conclusion, the drug continues to operate during the year, protecting the fungus from the re -applicant.This technique, on the one hand, allows the body to "relax" to take drugs, on the other, does not exclude the possibility of taking other drugs, including antibiotics.In addition, the risk of relapse is significantly reduced.
External medicines
With nail damage, not only internal medicines are used, but also in local medicines - nail polish and stickers and keratolytic ointments to remove keratinized areas from the skin.
As antifungal varnishes, those that can penetrate the deep layers of the nail bed and nails are used.The seals are applied to the top -cut top (the affected surface areas of the nail can be removed using a clean and low -gnardo nail file (for example, using alcohol).
In addition, keratolytic ointments and broths can be used to remove the affected area from the nail.These products soften the nail as a result from which it is easily and painlessly removed from the nail bed surface.Currently, patches are used as a urea or salicylic acid of a keratolytic component.Sometimes an anti -saptic agent or local antifungal is added to the composition of the adhesive.
A keratolytic adhesive is applied to the nail surface and closed with a waterproof and bandage.After 2-3 days, the affected areas are clean and the patch is glued again.The procedures are performed daily until the affected nails are completely removed.The average duration of treatment is 6 months for nails in the hands and 9 to 12 months for nails in the legs.
In addition, special sets for nail treatment are produced, which usually includes an ointment that at the same time has an antifungal and keratolytic effect, a nail scraper and a patch.
For fungal skin lesions, local creams are used.The cream is applied daily to the affected areas.The average duration of treatment is 2-3 weeks;In feet treatment - up to 6 weeks.
Processing of infected things (disinfection)
In the process and after the treatment of fungal infection, it is very important to disinfect everything the fungus has contacted.Disinfection should be subjected to floors, walls, bath inventory, showers, bathrooms, as well as the patient's personal belongings: underwear, shoes, skin care items and nails.
The walls and the bottom of the bath should be treated with a diluted mixture in the consistency in the shape of the cream of dust and chlorine or chlorine (powder should be washed after 30 minutes).You can also use a 5% chlorine or chlorine lemon solution or a 3% lysol solution.
It is recommended that shoes be treated with formaline (25%) or acetic acid solutions (40%).It should be completely cleaned with a hydrated buffer insole and side sections of shoes.Then put the cotton swab on the finger of the shoes and place the shoes in a hermetically tied cellophane bag for 24 hours.After using acetic acid or 25%formaline solution, shoes are ventilated or clean with ammonia to destroy the smell.
Lingerie, socks, socks, tight pants can be disinfected for 15-20 minutes, boiling in a 2%nap solution.Then they must be passed with a hot iron.
The manicure scissors is disinfected, immersing in alcohol and then burning on the burner's flame.
Prevention

- Use only your shoes.
- Do not wear tight shoes in which a humid environment is preserved, and the skin and nails are subjected to friction and microtrauma.
- Take care of shoes, shoes after use should be very dry.
