Forecasters promise hot August and warm Indian summer - the time of light dresses and, of course, open sandals. However, such shoes have their own requirements.

treatment of nail fungus in the clinic

The fungus causes onychomycosis - one of the most unpleasant diseases. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, it is not at all so safe. If the fungus is not treated, it will develop, take over large areas of human skin, and then may even cause damage to the internal organs of a person.

The elderly are at risk

Doctors say that most often lovers of saunas and baths are infected with nail fungus, in which the surface is not thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The fungus in such places "steamed", detached from the feet of an infected person and can easily attach to another person.

However, you can pick up the fungus in seemingly safe places - for example, at a party. If the hosts have nail fungus and the guest puts their slippers on their bare feet, they are likely to become infected.

Once in the human body, the fungus develops for a long time, and it is very difficult to notice its presence. The first step is to pay attention to changes in the color of the nail plate, it becomes cloudy or yellow, - says the head of the dermatological department, dermatologist.

Itching appears between the toes and a pungent odor from the feet. It should be clarified that although most often the fungus manifests itself on the toenails, this does not mean that it is localized only there. The fungus affects the nails on the feet and hands, as well as the skin of the feet, hands, and the whole body. Peeling usually appears on the skin - in the form of plates, rings, and may be flour-like (when the grooves of the skin are sprinkled with flour, as it were). Vesicles may appear, which can fester and burst. Nails can thicken, collapse, separate from the nail bed, change color. In advanced cases, even the internal organs of a person suffer.

Men from 20 to 50 years old are considered a risk group for infection with nail fungus, because they are more likely to be where you can become infected with nail fungus. However, doctors note that almost any person can become infected with onychomycosis.

90% of the nail fungus is caused by dermatophytes and molds. Dermatophytes are transmitted by direct contact (especially among family members) and through household items. Yeast fungi cause disease when the immune system is weakened.

In particular, as doctors clarify, people with reduced immunity become infected. Thus, at risk are people of pre-retirement and retirement age, or suffering from chronic diseases.

the patient treats nail fungus in the clinic

A complex approach

To treat nail fungus, like any other disease, you need to see a doctor. Moreover, you first need to pass an analysis - scraping in order to establish what kind of disease the patient is suffering from. At the same time, since the heart of the fungus (mycelium), as a rule, is located deep under the nail plate, and its spores are on the surface of the nail, it is necessary to treat the fungus in a comprehensive manner.

Laser, ointments and creams prescribed by doctors are considered effective methods of treatment. And experts consider a pedicure as an assistant in treatment, not just an ordinary one, but a medical pedicure.

The fact is that the fungus greatly modifies the nails, making them thick. This, of course, is ugly, but the main thing is that this shape of the nails complicates the treatment, since it becomes much more difficult to get to the mycelium. A medical pedicure is a preparation for the quality treatment of nail fungus.

However, experts warn that such a pedicure simply cannot be done in a beauty salon. Removal of calluses, corns, cracks in the skin and correction of nails affected by fungus for subsequent procedures can be done only in the clinic. To work with damaged feet, a special device is required, which is usually not installed in beauty salons - this is a medical technique. And the masters who perform this procedure have certificates in medical pedicure and often even medical education.
