HOW TO TREAT NAIL FUNGUS?
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF NAIL FUNGUS?
In the case of nail fungus , it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis with a sample. Antifungal treatment can be started without waiting for the result. There are suitable local treatments in the form of a film-forming solution (a liquid which dries to form a solid film after application) or in the form of an ointment. In the case of a material breach of the nail, drugs antifungal by way oral are required. Sometimes you have to have the nail removed surgically.
MEDICATED NAIL POLISH
The film-forming solutions are used as a nail polish, once or twice a week for products containing amorolfine or once a day for products containing ciclopirox . Before each application, it is necessary to plan to remove the varnish with a solvent. The treatment should be applied until healthy nail regrowth, which may take several months (three months for fingernails, six months for toenails). Some products can be purchased without a prescription; they are intended to be used on the advice of the pharmacist, when the infection does not affect more than two nails.
AN OINTMENT COMBINING AN ANTIFUNGAL AND UREA
An ointment containing an antifungal agent and urea can also be used to treat nail fungus and toenail. The ointment is applied to the diseased nail and covered with a bandage. The applications are renewed every day. Before each renewal, you should bathe the nail in hot water for about 10 minutes, then remove the softened part with the scraper. The treatment lasts on average 2 to 4 weeks the time of the complete elimination of the infected part.
