The treatment procedure begins immediately after the diagnosis is confirmed by a dermatologist. The doctor prescribes antifungal drugs, which must be used according to the instructions or recommendations of a specialist.

In the first stages, it is possible to fight the fungus with the help of ointments and creams. The fungus in the advanced phase is more difficult to heal - the doctors prescribe mainly topical preparations, less frequently tablets.

Do not forget to read the instructions on the drug, because the incorrect use of the drug can cause serious harm to the body. Also, with the utmost care, follow the recommendations of a specialist and follow all the procedures at a strictly designated time.

Ointments and creams are practically not absorbed into the skin, so the probability of overdose is extremely small. This property allows you to use them more than 3 times a day.

The causes of the pathology

The causes of infection with fungus abound. However, the main reason is physical contact with a sick person.

Weakening of the fungus can also be preceded by weakened immunity, wounds on the fingers, vitamin deficiency and other causes:

• spores of the fungus come to you from poorly disinfected items, this often happens when visiting beauty salons;
• fungus spores live in an unfavorable environment for more than a day, so the infection can be picked up literally anywhere: in the cinema, from the railing, in public transport and other public places;
• the fungus is transmitted even with a very short handshake, no longer than 1 second;
• you used other people's hygiene products, such as gloves, towels, tools for manicure;
• stress, depression, nervous breakdowns and prolonged use of "heavy" drugs, all of these factors increase the probability of catching it at any place tenfold.

Symptoms and signs of the disease

In most cases, the initial stage of the fungus between the fingers is manifested in the form of the usual peeling of the skin. At this stage, the disease has no symptoms, that is, the person does not feel pain and itching. In some cases, the fungus looks like a small crack or a natural depression in the skin.

In the second stage, the fungus can already be diagnosed without special tools, since the affected area begins to bother the patient - there is a strong peeling of the skin and itching. At this stage, hyperkeratosis (excessive peeling of the horny layer of the skin) often occurs.

At the second stage of development of the fungus, the skin gradually changes its color, acquiring bluish-reddish hues. The timely treatment of a fungus at this stage usually lasts no more than 2 weeks.

In the third stage, the spores of the fungus move onto the nails, as a result of which they begin to fade. Colonies of the fungus lead to the deformation of the nail and its thickening, as well as the appearance of bluish spots and stripes. At this stage, the treatment of the fungus takes an average of 15-25 days.

In the fourth stage, the spores of the fungus begin to colonize the forearm and wrist. In this area, a kind of "spots" of redness are formed. Affected skin begins to peel off intensively.

In the so-called foci form solid bubbles with a crust. Sore skin loses its elasticity, so cracks and wounds often form in places of flexion.

The course of the disease between the fingers is rarely accompanied by redness and swelling. In rare cases, patients complain of wounds, burning, itching.

In very rare cases, bubbles form on the affected area, the mechanical opening of which leads to the formation of erosion.

Where to go and what tests to pass

If you diagnosed yourself with all the above symptoms, then you urgently need to contact a dermatologist, because the disease is easier to cure in the first stage than in the third or fourth.

Before treatment, an experienced physician must prescribe microscopy or DNA analysis. Microscopy makes it easy to detect spores of the fungus and the extent of skin lesions.

If your doctor prescribes you systemic drugs, then you need to check with a specialist the extent of their effects on the liver.

The method of treatment depends on the nature of the disease. If the dermatologist is not sure, then he prescribes the use of generic drugs (this happens if the patient refuses to undergo a diagnosis or the doctor does not have enough experience). Note reception systemic medications  always associated with greater risk, since treatment can be delayed for long weeks, if not months.

Self-treatment, as practice has shown, in most cases does not bring results, because fungal spores are very tenacious. Exactly because of this reason self treatment  often ends in relapse (recurrent disease).

What else can be treated this disease

The healing properties of hydrogen peroxide are well known to all of us. The substance has a pronounced antibacterial property. The treatment of the fungus on the hands between the fingers with peroxide and soda is recommended by Professor Neumyvakin, who wrote the book “Hydrogen Peroxide. Myths and reality.

After that, the affected skin should be treated with peroxide. The professor recommends using only a cotton swab or a sterile swab to treat your fingers.

  If you have a fungus of the second stage - the spores spread to the nails, then you need to do the same procedure with the evaporation of hands. After steaming, take a cotton pad and cut out a piece of it that repeats the shape of your nail.

Carefully soak the cut piece with peroxide and apply on a sore nail. To improve the effectiveness of treatment, the professor recommends pouring hydrogen peroxide 3-4 times a day into the nail cavity.

As for lotions, they should be kept on sick nails no more than 15 minutes. The procedure is recommended to repeat 3 times a day.

Professor Neumyvakin discovered a little secret: in order for hydrogen peroxide to not evaporate quickly, the nail should be wrapped with plastic.

If after the procedure you feel discomfort or even pain, this means that you need to wash your hands under running water.

Prevention of fungus

The best treatment is prevention. Practice has shown that a person who adheres to simple recommendations reduces the risk of infection of the skin by a fungus 10 or more times.

3. Towels and bed linen should be washed at a temperature not lower than 90 degrees. Spores of the fungus die at this temperature. If personal hygiene items are washed in the water of 30-40 degrees, then there is a high probability that the spores of the fungus will remain alive.
4. Once a week, disinfect gloves with special antibacterial agents. Also do not forget about the disinfection of the bath and washbasin. The procedure for cleaning the bath and washbasin is recommended once a month.
5. Always wear gloves when visiting gyms.
