How do you get rid of nail fungus. Is it possible to cure nail fungus: effective folk remedies and drugs

How can you cut off the top layer on yellow thick nails - and this will improve appearance? On the contrary - under the top layer there is a completely bumpy crumbling surface, even varnish from above will not help.

I read that there is a domestic analogue of imported tablets from the fungus-Irunin, it is cheaper. And outwardly, Exoderil helped me, smeared a nail, I had it for the first time in my life, I think that I picked it up in the gym, tk. doing yoga barefoot.

I'm trying to heal now

I had a fungus on all my toes and on several fingers. Nothing helped. I was cured only by Irunin.

I, too, was cured with irunin according to the pulse therapy scheme (it is in the instructions), exoderil was dripped onto the cleaned nail and some other antifungal ointment. The nail slowly grew back healthy. and it was such a deep fungus that even the sensitivity on the thumb disappeared.

Thank you Guest ╧ 14 of 01/28/10. Your recipe helped me. It really works, you just have to try. It took 7 months for everything. Before that, she was treated for more than 5 years. Good luck to all.

60. Lena explain, you were treated with tar soap with salt for 7 months?

Tablets Termikon, in a pharmacy 450-500 rubles per pack (14 tablets), one tablet per day for 3-4 months, depending on the degree of fungal infection. I really cured, and all sorts of varnishes, ointments, rubbing - utter nonsense. fungus okromya nail is still in the blood, so only pills. The tablet is absorbed into the blood quickly (2-2.5 hours), so if you drink a tablet in the morning, you can drink a beer in the evening. Yes, I forgot to say that after the course of treatment, my feet stopped sweating at all - I can walk all day in sneakers in the summer and no sweat or smell at all by the evening.

Well, finally I can write about the cure for this ugly disease.

On the toenails, for 2.7 years, picked up in the sauna with a weakened immune system. :(

There is a very effective composition, lamisil tablets, powdered, iodine, acetic acid, dimexide (for better penetration into the nail plate). This tool really helps. People, do not poison yourself with pills! Everything can be cured by external means, without poisoning the body, clogging the liver with all sorts of rubbish!

I read that baths with soda help, iodine, vinegar. So I’m thinking while I’m looking for a doctor, maybe folk ways try?!

Like a bath with soda, and testicles with vinegar never helped anyone, the fungus is treated with long courses of antibiotics while removing the affected nails, treating the feet with appropriate ointments, various baths and disinfecting shoes, carpets, floors, then you need to drink a course of vitamins and strengthen your immunity and it won't work in one go! Good luck!

Ah here is I was have two different doctors mycologists. Two different schemes treatment didn't help. I understand that the infection is walking in the tissues, and I can’t explain why it helped me that, on the advice of one soldier, (and they all got sick with a fungus in the barracks0 rubbed on a grater tar soap mixed half with salt. Even more salt. Then she diluted it with warm water to the state of slurry, applied it to the nails and glued it with adhesive tape. You have to keep it as long as possible. How sad it is not to wash your feet - the fungus loves moisture. I had enough for 3 days, then I washed my feet and re-applied this mixture under the adhesive plaster. In total, I did 6 times - the fungus disappeared. Now my nails are smooth and shiny.

Are you sure that after going through a serious course of treatment, only tar soap with salt helped you? skin. It is not necessary to buy expensive medicines, they always have analogues that are cheaper and no worse in properties. And to maintain the liver, you need to immediately take the medicine at the same time as the treatment, the doctor should have consulted about this.

PART 2: Further, into the resulting gaps, DROP the medicinal product on water based. I will explain why it is better to use an aqueous solution: Basically, the active ingredients of such preparations are water-soluble components (for example, naphthinine hydrochloride) and by applying them at the destination, YOU ensure that the specifically working substance hits the target without unnecessary delaying components. And we must remember that the propylene glycol contained in these preparations is an enhancer, a substance that serves as a conductor? for ingredients from the composition of the product. In cream compositions, along with active substances, emulsifiers, co-emulsifiers and thickeners of various nature are contained. which in some way delay the work delay the work medical composition. As a disinfectant for the treatment of slippers, socks and tights, you can use any means presented in special medical equipment stores for these purposes, or use 70% alcohol or soak in 6% hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine if nothing at all. procedure deep cleaning and removal of the affected tissue should be carried out regularly with preliminary and subsequent careful processing of the instruments used. Otherwise, you will re-infect yourself, as fungal spores are very tenacious. I hope it was useful to you. Your doctor Elena Anatolyevna.

Hello, during pregnancy I was in the hospital, and I picked up a fungus in my soul, went through the rest of the pregnancy, gave birth, and breastfed. Naturally, without touching anything, it did not heal in any way. Now I’m dripping exoderil, it’s been half a year already, it still doesn’t go away! Or very slowly! Tell me what to do next?))

I will try to answer: In your case, it is necessary to remove part of the affected nail before instillation. The fungus is very cunning and tends to build a dense tiled "roof" over itself, which makes the penetration of funds almost impossible. And when instilled UNDER the nail skin and the posterior nail roller, they should first be pushed aside with a sterile instrument and buried in the resulting gap. Don't get your feet wet often. Get rid of thrush, if it exists, and it would be good to smear the surface of the entire foot with a special CREAM, for example, lamisil, etc. Well, I have already written about the rest of the posts above.

By the way, Exoderil is a very good drug. In its true state, it should help. but the trouble is that it comes with only one control and can be massively faked, unfortunately.

I heard about the effective treatment of the fungus on the extremities of the feet - Lamikon tablets, Do the forum participants have any feedback about this drug?

I am not a doctor, but when I was fighting a fungus, I read and studied a lot of things, talked with doctors. the whole reason is that outside the fungus can be defeated by external means, but it will not be completely cured, because it will remain in the blood. so I had to sacrifice a little liver and drink a course of pills, since the liver is restored gradually, but this is already a 100% cure. it is the same as with chirias (boils). you can make lotions, compresses, smear with clearasils and all that, but this trouble is in the blood and besides how this muck cannot be completely removed from the body - nothing external will help

Thank you so much for recommending this tool. It really helps, and quite quickly, effectively, harmlessly, and also very cheaply. After reading about your case, at first I did not believe it, but nevertheless decided to check it out for myself. Although she has already started the treatment prescribed by the doctor: 3 courses of Orungamine, 1 tab. 2 rubles / day, 3 months in a row, 1650 rubles / month, 5000 rubles. for 3, and this is not the most expensive treatment. Moreover, the doctor immediately warned that the pills are very harmful, even a lethal outcome is possible, and in a month it is necessary to take a blood test. In general, I started drinking a course and went to this forum to read what they generally write about treatment with tablets. I read it and got upset. (((But your experience about tar soap and salt interested me very much! I did everything as you wrote: I bought tar soap, it is even sold in Oka! I mixed it with sea ​​salt, diluted with water and applied this slurry, and then sealed it with a tissue-based adhesive plaster (no other corns will keep this slurry on the nails.), In addition, it absorbs excess moisture and salt. True, it was enough for me to wear it for 2 days, then I peeled it off, washed it all off, dried it and applied it again. This method is also good because soap and salt softened thick diseased nails and it was easy to cut off regrown ones. Cutting the dry ones brought me great suffering! Three weeks later, the yellowness and thickening began to subside. Then, the slowly affected nails of the branch were cut off, healthy and pink ones grew in their place, though the rounding of the nails on the index fingers has not yet completely passed, but this takes time. I can only say one thing: my nails are now healthy, pink and not thick. It took the month of May to heal. This method of treatment is simply a miracle, I recommend it to everyone. It took 6 years of suffering to solve this problem in just a month! And I quit the course of pills when I saw the effectiveness of soap with salt. Most importantly, do not give up and you will definitely succeed.

Guest Well, I've been to two different mycologists. Two different treatment regimens did not help. I understand that the infection is walking in the tissues, and I can’t explain why it helped me that, on the advice of one soldier, (and they all got sick with a fungus in the barracks0 rubbed tar on a grater

lo mixed half with salt. Even more salt. Then she diluted it with warm water to the state of slurry, applied it to the nails and glued it with adhesive tape. maybe longer. How sad it is not to wash your feet - the fungus loves moisture. I had enough for 3 days, then I washed my feet and re-applied this mixture under the adhesive plaster. In total, I did 6 times - the fungus disappeared. Now my nails are smooth and shiny.

And after being treated by doctors, she took a total of 10,000 rubles to the pharmacy (pills are very expensive for a course of 3 months, varnishes, ointments) and everything helped a dead thermometer. Only the liver fell off, but the fungus remained. I think that if soap and salt doesn’t hurt the author, then it certainly won’t hurt. But all my girlfriends helped 100 percent. True, one applied this mixture

Maybe someone else will come in who is really cured with something and will help people.

alas, it doesn't work for everyone

From nail fungus-fukortsin and "Kanespor" ointment, smear every time after washing your feet.

I had a terrible fungus. Toenails can be said to be non-existent. Last year I decided to go to the doctor. He prescribed orungal tablets (expensive, about 2 thousand rubles per pack of 14 pcs.), But since there was not much money, I bought an analogue - Irunin, somewhere around 700 rubles. I drank 2 weeks, 1 tablet a day. Then after 2 months another course. A year has passed, the nails have gradually grown back, only one of the most harmful remains, and even then it has almost grown back)))

But the doctor immediately warned that these pills had a strong effect on the liver. I didn't feel any pain or anything though. Yes, and I decided that it is better to be treated once than to suffer all my life from smell, itching. Well, aesthetically, it’s a very ugly sight. In general, there was a fungus for about 13 years, probably.

I had a fungus on my big toe. I was treated for a long time, because at first I tried a bunch folk recipes, which did not give a result, and only after that she went to the doctor. I was prescribed mycosan and hardware nail cleaning. For 2-2.5 months, the nails fully recovered and I didn’t remember the fungus anymore.

I had a nail fungus for about 15 years, for sure, since May I started using exoderil (drops) - it began to pass, but a friend of the pharmacist advised me to drink flucanazole capsules from the fungus 1 capsule once a week. Now it's November - nails are completely healthy! I am still taking the treatment, I need to drink flucanazole for a year, exoderil for half a year, but I will also drip for a year, I am very afraid of a relapse of this infection!

Lamisil helped me, but in combination with ointment + tablets, only in this case, since I used only ointment before, there was no effect. Lapmisil in tablets is harmful to the liver, at the same time you need to drink something for the liver.

I have nail fungus since childhood. Thanks to my grandmother for letting me wear her slippers. Plus, to all the external beauty, the legs sweat, emit a wonderful aroma and itch ..

From sweating and itching, I was helped by a special powder, which I poured into shoes and socks. Called "Sweat and Foot Odor Remedy", GalenoPharm, gray little sachets, sold in a pharmacy. Baths with vinegar and soda also help.

I got rid of keratinized skin on the heels and near the fingers with a razor and pumice stone: once a week I shaved, grinded and smeared with hand cream. This is most effective in the summer when you can wear breathable open shoes.

From beautiful crumbling nails yellow color I got rid of cutting, scraping off the top layer of the nail, then everything grew back.

Of course, all this is not a cure, but the appearance improves significantly and discomfort is minimized.

And now I express my gratitude to the manufacturers of synthetic linings in leather boots .. Again I am struggling with all the delights of an aggravated fungus.

People, I ask for advice or just useful information, I have a nail fungus, it used to be only on my little fingers, today I saw that my nails thumbs began to turn yellow, psychologically I can’t tune in to go to the doctor, I know it’s stupid, but somehow it becomes unpleasant from one thought. I once talked with one doctor, she advised batrafen varnish, it didn’t help, now I’m thinking about how to treat, summer is coming, yes, and it’s disgusting for me, who knows, please tell me, I’ll go to the doctor, but only when I find a good one, thanks in advance for the answers.

Last year, in the summer, I hit my finger, and as a result, about nail bed festered, and then gradually the nail fell off, a new one began to grow. And then I noticed that it was somehow thickened and there was yellowing at the tip. At first I thought that after the injury it was deformed, but then I noticed yellowing and thickening on the other thumb. And over the autumn-winter, more and more and more, and now one corner of the nail began to peel off. In addition, my legs began to smell, although I wash my tights daily and my legs too. I always take care of my feet, often do pedicures, paint my nails and in the summer I love open sandals. but due to a finger injury, while she was treating suppuration, she didn’t go for a pedicure, but only to a surgeon and where she managed to pick up a fungus and, moreover, start it. I'm shocked by myself!

THE PROBLEM IS IMPORTANT AS NEVER. Therefore, I tried to collect more EFFECTIVE MATERIAL on this topic. I advise everyone who is "lucky" to face this problem download the book of Zhanna Vasilievna Stepanova - the country's largest mycologist - it is in the mailing list **, also go to the RADIO RUSSIA website - in the health program section in the Archive you will find programs for recording programs with Elena Malysheva " HEALTH" - for THIS Infectant and Disease. LINK HERE - // http://yadi.sk/d/KZA4KerBPSc4b //

For me personally, a doctor prescribed a SYSTEMIC TREATMENT for the treatment of nails - RUMIKOS * + Exederil solution - I replaced it with EXODERIL cream with a wrap *- Because I thought it was more economical + TRAVOCORT CREAM // + Mikostop / FURTHER I have already finalized PULSE - CAM Therapy - Baths + SPECIAL DIET - also not superfluous to follow // FOR SHOE DISINFECTION - UPOO "Timson" is sold in pharmacies ** and nete, + soaking of all socks, things. special pesticides. Until the treatment has begun in full - I SHARE ONLY PLANS, WHAT I KNOW **

If funds allow - go to the capital - there is some kind of mycological center where the DNA of the Anthropophile-causative agent is isolated and, according to it, certain most effective drugs are prescribed according to the degree of resistance * Information found on http://www.gribok.ru/ -

whipped soap and salt and a little water in a blender according to your recipe, smeared it for three weeks, wrapped it with adhesive tape, salt swelled one finger and burned the skin around the nail, the fungus did not disappear, but spread even more (((not a single ointment helps, before that, I cured the fungus with pills - I drank them for half a year, every two weeks I had to go to give blood for chemistry (tests) I suffered, but cured it, but for a short time almost immediately picked it up again. heh..nya!

I bought all known and unknown ointments, varnishes, drops, powders for more than tens of thousands of rubles. (

I have been struggling with this order for 8 years, but to this day nothing has helped. I took oral antifungal drugs even worse, I don’t know, please help.

Fungus is generally very difficult to cure. I had such an experience - a nail affected by a fungus was reduced with the help of nailtimycin cream. In the clinic, such nails are generally removed, and this procedure is painful, not only physically, but also morally difficult.

I agree with you, I'm already suffering with him not the first time. At what the first time 2 months treated with all sorts of folk remedies. Now it has reappeared. Where can I buy this nailtimycin?

There is nogtimycin in the pharmacy, she took it herself in the nearest, most ordinary one near the house. I think it will not be difficult to find him, the main thing is to help!)

I really hope so, to be honest. Somehow I don't want to surgically fight. Is he expensive at all?

Inexpensive nailtimycin, when I bought it cost something about 130 rubles.

Ageris has such a team of specialists for about 16 years in this market. I think you should try your hand there.

Lamisil tablets every day for a year did not help. I smeared it with a cheap obsolete (as I was told) ointment, I’m not sure what’s right - Liniment Grizewulfina, sounding like, only this helped. Sore nails were removed not surgically, but with another equally outdated mask - Nogtivit. I found it in a small village by chance, I talked with my grandmother - she advised. I couldn't find it anywhere in Moscow, everyone was unanimously offering expensive drugs.

the fungus is difficult to cure, complex treatment is necessary: ​​internal and external, because. mushrooms live everywhere. For outdoor, I recommend a proven method: Indian onions. Rub every day 2-3 times a day the juice of the birdman (as it is called) into the nails and under the nails, as well as the soles of the feet and between the fingers. One day you will notice that the nails are no longer yellow, they gradually began to level out. The treatment is long, but worth it. And inside, use, for example, fluconazole or others, which the doctor will prescribe.

Fingernails grow at a rate of 1 mm per month. On the legs, almost two times slower. With successful treatment, they can be restored throughout the year. Provided that the procedure is carefully followed. For more speedy recovery nothing to hope for. If that suits you, please get in touch.

Can you give more details about your prescription, proportions, how to mix and duration of treatment. thank you in advance

I was treated with a similar composition, 6 months - and everything is fine. 10 years without recurrence.

Fungus on feet infection, which is caused by pathogenic microorganisms localized on the skin, in the interdigital spaces and nail plates. It brings tangible discomfort and provokes serious complications. Let us consider in more detail how to treat a fungus on the legs in order to prevent the transition of the disease into a chronic form and exclude relapses.

Causes and symptoms

The disease is caused by spores of Trichophyton rubrum and other yeasts and molds.. Under favorable conditions, they multiply rapidly, rapidly worsening the condition of the legs.

Doctors identify several factors that contribute to the development of pathogenic microflora:

• weakened immunity;
• excessive sweating of the feet;
• shoes that do not fit;
• corns, calluses, scratches on the legs;
• chronic infectious and endocrine diseases;
• long-term use of antibiotics;
• lack of hygiene;
• wearing shoes made of artificial materials that do not allow air to pass through;
• flat feet.

Children are more susceptible to mycotic infection. Their immunity is not yet sufficiently formed, the skin on the legs is too thin, so the fungi easily penetrate the body and begin to multiply.

When the skin of the legs is infected, they quickly appear unpleasant symptoms. Most often, primary infection occurs in the interdigital spaces, gradually spreading to the foot. Many pathogens also affect the nail plates, causing the development of onychomycosis - nail fungus.

Pathology has several stages, which are characterized by certain signs.

The neglected form of the disease leads to the fact that a rash appears between the fingers and on the feet. Small dense bubbles often merge with each other. When they burst, weeping wounds remain in their place, which are very itchy.

Ways of infection

Fungal spores remain viable for a long time environment, so it is easy to contract the disease in the most unexpected places. But the most favorable conditions for their development are warm and high humidity. Due to this, people who visit:

• pools;
• baths;
• saunas;
• fitness centers;
• beaches.

The fungus can be on any thing that is there, even if regular disinfection is carried out. Therefore, in such places it is necessary to avoid objects of common use and be sure to take a change of shoes with you.

Soldiers are under threat. Most often, soldiers in the army wear uncomfortable shoes that does not allow air to pass through. Because of this, the legs sweat, microtraumas appear, into which the fungus penetrates.

There are two types of infection. The first is a direct route through direct contact with the infectious agent while communicating with a sick person, caring for an animal, while walking barefoot on the ground and sand. The second - an indirect way leads to infection through objects belonging to infected people or pets.

Diagnostics

In order for the treatment of the fungus to be successful, a consultation with a dermatologist is necessary. The specialist will conduct a visual inspection, carefully examining the lesions.

For the correct diagnosis, it is important to tell the doctor about all anxiety symptoms and report on previously transferred mycoses and other diseases.

To accurately determine the presence of infection and the type of pathogen, the doctor must take blood, scraping a nail or skin for analysis. Laboratory tests should be carried out in without fail. There are more than 500 types of fungi that have a different threshold of drug resistance and require different treatment tactics.

The hospital should be contacted for any changes in the condition of the skin. Even slight peeling and itching between the fingers cannot be ignored. Otherwise, the disease will affect the foot, nails, and it will be more difficult to cure it.

Treatment

Fungus on the feet integrated approach. The intensity of treatment depends on the type of infection and the extent of damage to the skin and nails.

Ointments

The choice of antifungal ointments is very wide. Before starting treatment should be excluded allergic reaction and others side effects. To remove the fungus, doctors recommend:

If fungal infection stop is complicated by a secondary infection and other means do not bring the expected result, the dermatologist prescribes ointments based on glucocorticosteroids.

Medicines quickly relieve inflammation and stop the disease at any stage, but have many contraindications. They must be taken strictly according to the instructions, without exceeding the dosage. Such ointments include Mikozolon, Triderm.

After compresses, the skin can be very flaky and peel off. It is easy to get rid of such manifestations soda baths(1 tablespoon of soda per 1 liter hot water). The procedure must be done every other day throughout the treatment.

Pills

To enhance the effectiveness of therapy, the use of external agents is often combined with internal medication. Tablets can greatly affect the body as a whole, so they should not be taken uncontrollably.

1. Fluconazole. The drug belongs to the group of azoles and quickly stops the progression of the infection. The course of therapy lasts up to 4 weeks. In advanced cases, it can be extended for another 2 weeks.

In the human body, fungi cause diseases of varying severity, which are collectively called mycoses. Skin, nails, internal organs. Treatment is selected depending on the location of the disease and the type of pathogenic microflora.

Some types of fungi live in the human body as part of a healthy microflora. Such microorganisms are classified as opportunistic pathogens. Under favorable conditions, for example, with a decrease in immunity or during an exacerbation of certain diseases, they begin to actively multiply, attacking the body and causing various infections. Pathogenic fungi infect internal organs, skin, hair, causing serious harm to health.

Conventionally, all types of pathogens of mycosis are divided into several groups:

• yeast;
• moldy;
• dimorphic.

Being in the body, fungi live in balance with the microflora, so they do not cause concern. The balance can be disturbed due to a decrease in immunity. Various unfavorable factors can contribute to this:

• illness;
• pregnancy;
• antibiotic treatment;
• age-related changes;
• taking alcohol and drugs;
• severe stress.

Causes

Mycosis is a disease that develops due to the uncontrolled growth of pathogenic microorganisms. To protect yourself from infection, you need to understand the causes of the disease.

In the first place is the body's immunodeficiency. Weakening protective functions organism can occur due to various factors:

• severe diseases that debilitate the defense system - AIDS, tuberculosis;
• long-term use of antibiotics;
• the use of a local antiseptic that kills the natural microflora of the mucous membranes.

The second position is occupied by a high content of glucose. Blood with increased performance Sugar is a beneficial nutrient medium for the active reproduction of microorganisms. Sweet lovers are often prone to fungal infections. They also affect people with diabetes and disorders in the endocrine system.

Other reasons for the development of pathogenic microflora include:

• failure of the hormonal background;
• damage to the mucous membranes;
• caries;
• environment.

Along with listed reasons diseases, one should pay tribute to psychosomatics. It has been proven that frequent nervous shocks, stress, depression are sources of weakening of the immune system. The result of this may be the addition of a fungal infection.

Possible routes of infection

Fungal infection occurs different ways. Extreme care must be taken to avoid unpleasant consequences and long-term treatment.

In medicine, there is a classification of ways of infection with mycosis:

• Alimentary. The fungus enters the body with food. Children are most often affected, an example of this is the thrush of the oral cavity in childhood up to a year. In advanced cases, microorganisms penetrate deeper into the digestive system;
• Air. Fungal spores are capable of long time survive in the environment in anticipation of a favorable environment for reproduction. So spores are carried with dust over long distances and penetrate the human body by inhalation;
• Contact. Transmission from a sick person to a healthy person is carried out through touch. The presence of injured skin is considered the entrance gate for the penetration of microorganisms;
• Sexual. During unprotected sexual contact, fungi penetrate the mucous membranes and begin to multiply actively.

The first signs of the disease

In order not to start the disease, you should be aware of the initial symptoms of damage to the body by fungi. People often miss the first signs, after which the infection progresses and is less treatable.

Symptoms of damage differ based on the localization of microorganisms. Allocate surface infection (on the skin, mucous membranes, nails, hair) and systemic - damage to internal organs.

Symptoms of superficial mycosis:

• discoloration of the skin, peeling;
• growth retardation or hair loss;
• thickness changes nail plate;
• itching, burning.

Symptoms of internal infection:

• disruption of the gastrointestinal tract - flatulence, diarrhea, constipation, colic;
• allergic rash;
• frequent diseases of the ENT organs - sinusitis, rhinitis, sinusitis;
• cystitis;
