The mushroom is diagnosed in almost every third person on the planet.The most common type of this disease is the damage from onychomycosis - damage to the pathogenic microflora of the nail plate.Very often, the infection is located on the thumb of the leg, since it is constantly subjected to mechanical effects (rubbed on the shoes), which is why the microcracks appear on the nail.They are the "entrance door" for the pathogen.If the first symptoms of omicomicosis are detected, it is necessary to take the treatment immediately.Without timely therapy, the thumb mushroom will spread rapidly in nearby healthy areas and become a source of pain when walking and an unpleasant smell of the feet.
Causes and symptoms of infection
You can capture the nail fungus when using infected things or when you contact the surface on which the sick person walked.Therefore, doctors insist on wearing rubber slippers in the sauna, bathroom or swimming pool and also prohibit wearing shoes, tights or socks of other people.
The following factors can increase the probability of onychomycosis:
- non -compliance with personal hygiene;
- work in places with high humidity;
- Rare shoes cleaning and washing of underwear;
- reduced immunity;
- Damaging the skin on the fingers of the feet.
In addition, the risk of obtaining a nail fungus increases the presence of nail plate diseases.Anomaly of the growth of the keratin layer, dystrophy, inflammation or deformation of the nail - all this contributes to the rapid reproduction of the pathogenic microflora.
The manifestation of onychomycosis
The main signs that the nail on the thumb of the foot was attacked by a fungal infection, refers:
- small cracks and a change in the color of the nail plate;
- acute pain when the nail is pressed;
- constant itching between the fingers;
- Burn under the nail;
- redness of the skin on the finger;
- unpleasant smell of the feet;
- A sense of expectoration when walking with closed shoes (sneakers, boots, shoes).
In some cases, when it is pressed on the nail from below it, the white liquid can be released: the life of the vital activity of pathogens.It is often used as a sample for laboratory analysis, which allows you to determine the type of pathogen of infection and the degree of development.

Fungal infection therapy on the thumb nail
You can fight the onychomicosis on the thumb of the foot in two ways: drugs and popular remedies.Each of the options has its advantages and functionality, so before starting the treatment, you need to consult a doctor.Only the doctor will say which type of therapy will be effective in a particular case.
Drugs for mycosis of the nail plate on the thumb of the leg
Medicines for the treatment of omicomicosis are available in the following forms:
- spray;
- creams;
- paints;
- Patters.
The difference between them lies in the method of application and composition.Dermatologists often prescribe complex therapy, which includes the use of different types of drugs.For example, the spray spray on the infected surface with subsequent nail treatment with paint or cream is popular.
Antifungini spray
Spray (aerosol) have a series of advantages compared to other forms of drugs:
- The content of the bottle is applied to the thumb nail in a contact without contact, which reduces the probability of spreading infection to healthy areas;
- The active components of the drug are sprayed not only on the nail plate, but also on nearby fabrics;
- The spray can is equipped with a distributor that allows you to control the consumption of medicine;
- When using anti -eight aerosols on socks or shoes, there are no traces;
- The sprays do not cover the nail and the skin of the finger with a dense film and do not delay humidity, which is the main condition favorable for the propagation of the fungal controversy;
- Substances in the composition of aerosols have a drying property and a deodorant effect.
Important!
The contraindications to the use of spray were the individual intolerance of the components in their composition.During pregnancy and breastfeeding, a doctor's consultation is needed.
Overomicosis creams
Cremes are no less effective than aerosols, but have a significant minus - inconvenience of use.After developing the nail plate, with their help you have to wait a certain time, while the active components are absorbed in the keratin layer.If you go immediately or put the socks, the product will be smeared and there will be no benefit.
The substances that make up the funds violates the membrane of the fungal cells and lead to the termination of the reproduction of the pathogen.The treatment of the first and second stadium of onychomycosis can take from one to 2.5 weeks.The advanced form of the disease takes the use of drugs more time, from 20 days to two months.
All drugs are used according to a scheme:
- The foot is steam in water with the addition of soda;
- The nail must be cut every time, clean with a file.If it has a decorative coating, it is removed with acetone;
- A small amount of cream rubs gently in the nail plate.
After developing the thumb, it is necessary to wait 5-10 minutes until the drug dries and absorbs in the keratin layer.
The procedure is repeated three times a day with a 4 -hour interval.The minimum duration of the therapy is 1 week.
Antimicose paints
Glacks for the treatment of the mushroom on the nails are a liquid mixture that dries quickly and covers the dish with a thin breathable layer.The advantages of using this form of medicine include:
- the penetration of active components even in the smallest cracks on the nail;
- drying speed;
- simplicity of the application;
- it does not contain toxic substances;
- hides an unhealthy type of nails;
- It protects from the spread of fungal disputes in healthy areas;
- High efficiency (pathogen microflora begins to die on the second day of the drug).
All paints are used according to the same scheme.Initially, the nail is cleaned, a layer of keratin and an old medicinal film are removed from it.Subsequently, the bottle of paint and its content are applied to the nail plate with an applicator.
Important!
Therapeutic paints cannot be used simultaneously with decorative.Cosmetics create a dense film that does not exceed the air and promotes the growth of the mushroom in the structure of the nail plate.
Rattoppeggio from the nail fungus
With the plaster impregnated with an antifungal composition, you can get rid of the mushroom only if it is found in the initial phase of development.They protect against the spread of the pathogen in nearby areas, help to soften the plate for nails and complete the use of other drugs well.Their main disadvantage was that they are poorly kept on the skin and often detach themselves during the walk.Therefore, it is better to wear them at home and fix only on the thumb.
It is better to use a patch simultaneously using spray or creams.So the maximum therapeutic effect will be achieved.
The patches are applied as follows:
- The tissue ribbon with a medicinal substance is detached from the film and attached above the nail.If necessary, it is cut in the shape of a finger;
- The patch is changed every day before bedtime;
- The minimum duration of the therapy is 12 days.
While wearing a patch, it is necessary to ensure that the humidity does not do it under him.To do this, you can create small holes in the fabric tape with a needle.It is necessary to attack a patch only 20 minutes after smoking your feet in the water with soda.
