The onychomycosis is the disease of nails caused by a fungal infection. This pathology is very widespread, all suffers from an onychomycosis from 10-20% of the population of the globe. Contagiums are most often dermatophytes, is slightly more rare – a trichophytosis, microsporias and epidermophitias. Very often activity of dermatophytes is complicated by the accompanying development of drozhzhepodobny or mouldy mushrooms which strengthen negative displays of a disease and cause resistance to therapy.
Infection with an onychomycosis happens during visit of baths, saunas, swimming pools and other places of public use. It is possible to catch an onychomycosis, having touched benches, lattices, paths, carpets and any other objects on which surface skin scales, the containing pathogenic microorganisms get. Let's note also that all activators which cause an onychomycosis not only perfectly feel in the conditions of the increased humidity, but also keep at the same time productive capacity. Uncolored wooden surfaces are most dangerous from the point of view of transmission of infection. Quite often distribution of an onychomycosis happens in one family when people use the general slippers, basts, towels, etc. Usually scales disappear during combing of affected areas of skin.
The onychomycosis is provoked also by some other factors. So, for example, the infection arises at people with disturbance of blood circulation of extremities, a diabetes mellitus, HIV, immunodeficiency more often, and also to those patients who completed a course of corticosteroid, immunosuppressive or antibacterial therapy earlier. Speaking more simply, people with the weakened immune system therefore treatment of an onychomycosis has to include fortifying therapy surely are subject to this disease.
Allocate three types of an onychomycosis: normotrofichesky, hypertrophic and atrophic.
Symptoms of an onychomycosis depend on type of a disease and weight of a clinical current. However, it is possible to allocate a number of the main symptoms which are characteristic of all types of a disease:
The preliminary diagnosis is made by the dermatologist on the basis of external survey specifying diagnosis is carried out by means of microscopic examination of scraping, in certain cases can be required бакпосев. After diagnosis treatment of an onychomycosis has to begin immediately as the infection develops quickly enough and can extend, infecting other nails.
Treatment of an onychomycosis in most cases begins with local antifungal therapy – the ointments and creams containing antimycotics (the antibiotics capable to influence a fungal infection) are used. If the nail plate contains the died-off sites, they need to be removed. Removal of a nail plate is made or by a surgical method, or by means of special keratolytic means which are applied on the struck surfaces, soften them and allow to get rid of a nail almost without serious consequences.
Local therapy can be enough at an early stage of a disease, in other cases also system treatment is shown. Briefly about the most widespread drugs which are applied for this purpose:
All above-mentioned drugs have serious side effects therefore the choice of drug is carried out only by the doctor on the basis of data of a microbiological research and taking into account individual contraindications. At any signs of intolerance reception of medicine it is necessary to stop and pick up other drug.
At once we will make a reservation: if you use exclusively folk remedies, it will be very difficult to achieve treatment of an onychomycosis. It is better to apply national methods as addition to system therapy, and also to prevention of a recurrence after completion of the main treatment. For this purpose we offer you several simple recipes.
