- increased dryness of the skin of the foot and between the toes;
- peeling of small plates in the skin of the foot;
- small cracks between 4 and 5 fingers;
- Small itching.

A small period of time passes, and red spots spread and itch much.Peeling is snowfall, small cracks turn into watery wounds with an unpleasant odor and discharge.A fungal disease extends its harmful effects on the skin.You can get infection: in the bathhouse, in gym, in the pool, in the salons for nail care and feet, when using general shoes with the carrier of infectious bacteria.The nails on the legs change.They brighten, become thick and deformed, crumble and break.
Convincing arguments in favor of the treatment of the fungus

Onychomycosis (nail fungus) affects the tissue around the nail plate, penetrating under it.In winter, when the legs are constantly in warm shoes, often sweat, increased reproduction of fungal bacteria begins and distribution in the cover.It is important to use complex drug treatment because the fungus affects the nail and tissues under it, which is difficult to cure with simple ointments to the nail plate.A dermatologist prescribes laboratory tests that determine the type of bacteria, and then prescribes a complex of drugs.The state of health of the sick, the presence of chronic diseases and allergic reactions is taken into account.
Funds for the treatment of fungal infections

The best drugs
Treatment of fungal infections The process is long and requiring strict observation.The treatment period can last throughout the year.A complete recovery can show laboratory analysis and a new full -fledged nail plate.
Important!Only when using comprehensive treatment can a result be achieved.The process begins to visit a doctor and pass samples for laboratory tests.After the results of the research, treatment is prescribed, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.There are several treatment methods:
- external - the use of ointments, drops, varnishes for primary symptoms of damage;
- systemic - the use of antiviral tablets;
- Complex - tablets or capsules are used, local treatment in the form of ointments, drops, varnishes.
A special place is occupied by the drug that has the ability to penetrate into the depths of the nail tissue, relieves the inflammatory process, destroys the infection and, accompanying the fungus, bacteria.After applying the solution, the manifestation of burning gradually disappears.
Before applying the solution to the affected area, it is recommended to wash it with household soap.Peel the accumulated affected fabrics, if possible, file a disposable nail file.Apply the solution to the affected area by order of the dermatologist two or three times a day.
Continue the course of treatment until the nail plate is completely restored and stop after positive research results.A combination of the solution may be used in the morning, and in the evening an ointment of the same name.
