Beautiful nails are one of the big pluses in creating the image of a successful, healthy and happy person. But how often leaves to be desired not only in their appearance but also in the health of the nails. They turn yellow, thicken, layer.
In very advanced cases, the nail plate can be completely detached from the finger. The reason for such an unaesthetic and painful condition of the nails is a fungus. Catching onychomycosis, a common and incurable disease, is not as difficult as it may seem.
Visits to saunas, swimming pools without individual shoes, dressing rooms on the beaches are all the most common ways of infection and toenail fungus is the most common type of fungal infection. The development of pathological microflora in the nails is facilitated by frequent stress, emotional stress and decreased immunity.
Bad habits, lack of strict adherence to personal hygiene requirements are also provocative factors for nail fungus. The cure of the disease is not as fast as the infection. From the correct diagnosis of the disease to recovery, it takes at least six months if the fungus is localized on the toenails and up to twelve months in case of foot injury.
Spray for the treatment of nail fungus
Depending on the stage and localization of the fungal infection, different methods are used that allow you to recover at the optimal time.
In the initial stage of infection, the varnish is successfully used for the treatment of nail fungus, the principle of which is the softening of the affected nail plate, as a result, the fungal spores die under the influence of the drug.
Different pharmaceutical companies produce varnishes with different names and all confirm high fungicidal properties.
Medicinal preparations are used successfully to get rid of onychomycosis and prevent recurrence of the disease. To prevent fungal infections, nail fungus varnish is also used very effectively.
Recommendations for the use of antifungal varnishes
To ensure maximum therapeutic effect, treatment of affected nails should be performed in accordance with the recommendations and at the optimal dose. Thus, the spray treatment is performed regularly, twice a week and the treatment continues until the final laboratory and clinical recovery, respectively up to six or twelve months for the fingers and toes.
When treating nail fungus, it should be borne in mind that toenails are able to accumulate several times more therapeutic substances than fingernails. It is also important to keep in mind that the use of different varnishes in combination is undesirable because it leads to a decrease in antifungal activity.
Contraindications when using spray
The use of nail fungus varnish in the treatment of onychomycosis should be subject to contraindications for its use. Prohibited use during pregnancy and lactation, contraindicated in individuals with individual intolerance to the components of the drug, should not be prescribed to children. Applying varnish to treat nail fungus, in some cases it is possible to notice hyperemia of nearby skin areas.
