Nail fungus treatment

Toenail fungus, or, in medical terms, mycosis, is a very unpleasant disease that is transmitted through common objects. Toenail fungus can be infected in the bath or in the pool if you do not use personal slates. You also run the risk of catching fungus spores by wearing the slippers of a person who is a carrier of the disease. In general, the use of other people's household items is highly undesirable.

Your personal defense against fungal disease is your immunity and hygiene. The fact is that with poor foot care, the skin becomes vulnerable to the invasion of microbes. First of all, wounds, calluses, increased sweating (constant humidity) are considered an unfavorable factor. By the way, all these phenomena may be the result of the choice of shoes : tight and uncomfortable.

The first symptoms of toe fungus are the appearance of redness and itching between the toes. Peeling, burning and even the appearance of pustules are also not excluded - it depends on the neglect of the disease. Therefore, it is so important to notice the problem in time and start treatment. Otherwise, the lesion will spread to the foot and nails.

Signs of nail fungus are as follows: the nail thickens, acquires a gray or yellowish tint, exfoliates, sometimes crumbles. In this case, not necessarily all toenails will be affected.

Treatment of toenail fungus with folk remedies

Types of fungus are different, the doctor must determine. But if you do not have the opportunity (or desire) to visit a dermatologist, then some folk remedies may come in handy.

Grind a clove of garlic, put on a bandage and tie so that you get a bag of soft garlic. Apply to the nail to cover the finger to the joint. Wrap with a piece of plastic bag, bandage, put on a cape. It is possible to simply rub garlic juice into the surface of the nail (previously steamed in water with potassium permanganate). Change this bandage daily. At first, pain is not ruled out.

It helps to apply a crushed piece of kombucha to the nail. Make the bandage the same as indicated in the first option. Change every day, but at the same time, after each bandage, rinse your feet with water with a solution of potassium permanganate, and change socks. Do until full recovery.

Take a bowl of hot water, add a strong decoction of celandine. Soak your feet in this infusion. Repeat several times (of course, not in one day).

Natural coffee is not only any of the many drinks, but also a remedy for toenail fungus. Strong coffee needs to be brewed. Let cool a little. Oddly enough, it sounds, but immerse your feet in coffee several times without raising the sediment from the bottom. Repeat for several days, preferably at night.
