Fungal diseases should be treated under the supervision of a dermatologist.Mischooled antifungal agents can only lead to temporary improvement without the need to cure the disease itself.
Treatment of fungal diseases should be accepted under the supervision of a dermatologist.In the case of self-assay, the wrongly selected antifungal agent can only lead to temporary improvement without the need to cure the disease itself.
When choosing a treatment method, it is necessary to consider the area and form of the damage, the prevalence of fungi, the presence of the disease, and the age of the patient.
There are two types of antifungal drugs: for external and internal purposes.External drugs themselves are only effective in the early stages of the disease, and then treatment should be complex: the fungus must act externally and internally.
Internal medicine
To successfully and safely treat fungal diseases, it is recommended to follow certain rules with internal antifungal drugs:
- The diagnosis must be confirmed by a doctor.
- During treatment with internal antifungal drugs, it is recommended to limit the use of other drugs, but it is crucial.
- For a long time, medication should be used under the supervision of a doctor until the fungus disappears completely.
- Control checks must be performed first every 2 weeks and then once a month.Control Scratch - 6 months after treatment ends.Retreatment is required when detecting fungi.
Currently, dermatologists believe that pulse therapy is the most effective and safest treatment, using medication at long intervals.In some cases, a 1-week treatment was prescribed, followed by a 3-week rest period, followed by a new 7-day treatment.During intake, the drug accumulates in the body and continues to actively fight the infection in the following weeks.
The complete treatment process is usually designed for three months.However, upon completion, the drug continues to function throughout the year, protecting the fungus from re-presentation.On the one hand, this technology enables the body to “relax” the medication, and on the other hand, it does not rule out the possibility of taking other medications, including antibiotics.In addition, the risk of recurrence is greatly reduced.
External medicine
Due to the damage to the nails, not only internal medicines were used, but local medicines - nail polish and keratinizing fluid plaques and ointments to remove cornealized areas of the skin.
As antifungal varnishes, those that penetrate deep into the nails and nail beds are used.Apply paint to the top cut (the nail file attached to the varnish can be used to remove the surface area of the nail), clean and low-fat (for example, using alcohol).
In addition, cuticle liquefaction ointment and wood can be used to remove affected areas of the nails.These products soften the nails and therefore easily and painlessly remove from the surface of the nail bed.This patch is currently used as a keratin component urea or salicylic acid.Sometimes, fungicides or topical antifungal agents are added to the composition of the plaque.
Apply keratin to the surface of the nail and seal it with waterproof and bandage.After 2-3 days, the affected area is cleaned and the patches are glued again.Perform the process every day until the affected nails are completely removed.The average treatment time for nails is 6 months, and the nails on the legs are 9-12 months.
In addition, special kits are produced for treating nails, which usually include a cream that has both antifungal and keratinous fluid effects, nail scrapers and plaques.
For fungal skin lesions, use a local face cream.Apply the cream to the affected area every day.The average treatment time is 2-3 weeks; on the treatment foot - up to 6 weeks.
Handle infected things (disinfection)
All substances exposed to the fungal infection are very important after this process and after treatment of the fungal infection.Disinfection should be subject to the stock of floors, walls, bathrooms, showers, bathrooms, and patients’ personal belongings: underwear, shoes, skin care items and nails.
The walls and bottom of the tub are treated with a mixture of diluted to a creamy shape, from equal parts of the laundry detergent and chlorine or chlorine (the powder must be washed after 30 minutes).You can also use 5% chloramine or chlorine lime solution, or 3% Lysol solution.
It is recommended to treat shoes with formalin solution (25%) or acetic acid (40%).Wipe thoroughly with a moisturizing tampon insole and the sides of the shoe.The swab is then placed in the toes of the shoe and the shoe itself is placed in a sealed cellophane bag for 24 hours.After using acetic acid or 25% formalin solution, ventilate the shoes or wipe them with ammonia to destroy the odor.
Underwear, stockings, socks, and leggings can be sterilized in a 2% soap bar solution for 15-20 minutes of boiling.Then, they should be ironed with hot iron.
The manicure scissors are sterilized, immersed in alcohol, and then burned on the flame of the burner.
prevention
To prevent fungal infection, the following rules are recommended:
- Use only shoes.
- Do not wear narrow shoes, which retain a damp environment, and the skin and nails will be bound by friction and microspots.
- Care shoes, the shoes should be dry after wearing them.
- It is recommended to use local antifungal agents (oints, face creams, varnish) for those who regularly visit saunas, pools, bathrooms, sports and gyms.
- Garbage carpet in the bathroom - poor washing and therefore an excellent refuge for all kinds of microorganisms including fungi.
