The change of the shape and the color of the nail, delamination, dryness and flaking – the kind of fungus. Fall on the walk, he learns quickly and perfectly feels, and multiplying underneath the nail and feed on keratin, from which it is. Gradually, the mycelium fungus grows and eventually destroys the nail. Then to correct the situation that the means will not require a complex addiction treatment, with the use of tablets, and sometimes emitters (if the doctor-mycologist will be in the highlight of the mould).
But until this did not happen and the fungus has had time to "win" the single edge of the nail plate, and touched it no more than 2/3 of the surface, you can wear a shot to advance and kill him with the help of exchange rate for anti-fungal drops.
How to choose an effective tool for a fungal infection of the feet?
Before you start the treatment and buy of drops of the nail fungus, you need to understand what a parasite would do the trick. Most often unsolicited invited representatives of one of the three classes of fungi:
- dermatophytes – effective, and preparations with a basis asola and synthetic allylamine;
- candida – die after the interaction with polyene antimicotica, including medicines nystatin group;
- the mold – strength of the enemy, who is afraid that antimicotica of the class echinocandins.
Recognize the mushrooms can be external features:
- Dermatophytes are starting to "eat" the nails with a free edge, is gradually moving towards the hole. The yellow plate becomes stiff, wavy, begins hyperkeratosis – increased thickness of the nail.
- Candida behaves differently. It is the first thing to strike the nail at the base, it begins to deteriorate near the hole, and then the fungus grows on the edges. The plate may turn yellow and become white, but to grow, it will not be a fungus destroys the cells responsible for the growth of the nail.
- Pan is darken the plate, cover dark stains and strips. In addition, it is rarely limited to a single nail. Quickly destroying the mold is the soft tissue.
Thus, the mushrooms should behave according to the scenario of health care textbooks, but in practice, to distinguish dermatophytes of candida on only one of the external signs are not always the force, even for a dermatologist. Silent phase of development of the fungal infection may be delayed for years to come and to classify the fungus in the beginning very difficult.
