A fungal infection can be identified by the color of the nail plate - it becomes yellow, and at the same time it can not be painted completely, but only on the affected areas. A distinctive feature of the fungus is a pronounced unpleasant smell. With the progression of the disease, the nail plate completely crumbles, therefore it is recommended to use various means for its quick removal in order to give the opportunity to grow a new nail. It is very important to understand that a fungal infection is difficult to treat, so intensive therapy is necessary at the first sign.

For maximum effect, the compress is wrapped with food film or ordinary cellophane, and a sock is put on top. This prevents the ingress of air to the fungus. The procedure should be done overnight so that the alcohol compress has time to act. The frequency of repetitions is two, and, if necessary, three times a week until the nail starts to be updated.

As a rule, the treatment consists of antifungal ointments and spray. Modern methods involve the use of nail polish against fungal infections. The latter are very practical, as well combined with the usual varnish.

In this case, it is necessary to consult a mycologist, who determine the drugs for internal use. Only a comprehensive treatment can get rid of the infection:

• elimination of related factors;
• the use of anti-inflammatory drugs;
• means of local action.

But there are universal drugs, which in the shortest possible time eliminate the unpleasant fungal phenomenon.

Antifungal tablets are prescribed exclusively by a doctor based on the results of laboratory tests. To take pills should be treated with all care, because they have a number of different contraindications. For example, antifungal drugs can not be applied to people who have problems with the kidneys and liver. Some of the pills cannot be combined with oral contraceptives and are mutually exclusive. In any case, you can not choose drugs for the treatment of fungus on their own.

In fact, the growth of a new nail should be done a laboratory study for the absence of a fungal infection. Analyzes are appointed two weeks after the regrowth of a full-fledged marigold, and the next - after a couple of months. The main thing is that the results were negative.

Disinfection measures
