Changing shape and color of nail, separation of layers, dryness and flaking – marked fungus. To get to the leg, he has quickly mastered, and he felt fine, by multiplying down the plate of the nail and feed on keratin, from which it is made. Gradually, the fungal mycelium grows and eventually destroys the nail. Then to correct the situation from the outside, the inside will not – require a comprehensive medical therapy, with the use of the pill, and sometimes and serums (if the doctor-mycologist find the nail mold).
But until now they didn't, and fungi managed to "conquer" is only the tip of the nail that affect no more than 2/3 of the surface, can strike a blow ahead of the curve and kill him with the help of the course of anti-fungal drops.
How to choose an effective tool for fungal infections of the feet?
Before you start your treatment and buy drops of the nail fungus, you need to figure out exactly what parasite you have to deal. Often the invaders – the representatives of one of the three categories of fungi:
- dermatophytes – the race with the effective drugs on the basis of azola and allylamine;
- candida – die after interaction with polyene antimicotica, which include drugs nystatin group?
- mold – powerful enemy, which afraid only antimicotica from the class of echinocandins.
To identify the mushrooms can abroad features:
- Dermatophytes are starting to "eat" the nail with free edge, gradually moving towards the hole. Fun yellow, it becomes hard, wavy, begins hyperkeratosis – increased thickness of the nail.
- Candida behaves differently. It was the first thing that hits the nail at its base, begins to deteriorate near the hole, and then the fungus grows up to the brim. The plate can be yellow and becomes white, but to grow it won't be anymore – mushroom destroys the cells responsible for nail growth.
- Mold make fun of darken, covered dark spots and streaks. Moreover, it is rarely limited to a single nail. Quickly destroying the mold proceeds in soft tissues.
So the mushrooms must behave in accordance with the scenario of the medical books, but, in practice, to distinguish dermatophytes from candida in only one appearance is not always under the power of even an experienced dermatologist. Latent phase of development of fungal infection can be closed for the next few years and categorisation of fungus in the beginning is very difficult.
So to decide which of the active substance used in the treatment and, therefore, some drops of the market, can only be a doctor, and exclusively, since it will take the conclusion of the workshop. So, don't be surprised if they took your dermatologist, you will make scraping of the nail. Were no differences in the laboratory will draw and then it becomes clear what the mushroom settled in the leg.

How it works treatment for nail fungus in the feet on drops
Depending on the type of the active substance contained in the medicine, drops against the nail fungus on the feet act in one of two directions:

- Slows down the process of cell division, i.e. not to give them to proliferate – fungistatic action.
Drugs fungicidal effects work against adult forms of the fungus, but it is powerless from the spores of fungi. While drops with fungistatic action consume just the new shape. It is obvious that destroy mushroom mycelium, rooted in the plate of the nail, it can only be the drug it has at the same time, and fungicidal and fungistatic effect. Fortunately, most modern drops apply to both of these directions. And however, to understand the pharmacological properties of the drug and make a doctor's appointment.

The fact that in the vast majority of cases of fungus bowing down to the plate of the nail and to get there by using external means – ointments, creams, varnishes, drops – it's not easy. Therefore, to the active substance is introduced directly to the target and the treatment was effective, the patient will have to adhere to certain recommendations.
