(SKDS) - Onychomycosis accounts for almost half of the cases and nearly 1/3 of nail fungal infections of the skin. This is a condition that is not dangerous but very persistent movements and difficult to treat.
Clinically, nail fungus can be divided into four:
The fungus under the nail in the nail tip and 2: 3 main characteristics keratosis beneath the nail, nail targets causing separation from the nail bed and nail inflammatory skin around the nail. The most common cause is Trichophyton rubrum fungal.
Fungal nail surface: disorders of nail color (usually white and sometimes black), a common cause is Trichophyton mentagrophytes fungal and Interdigitale.
The fungus under the nail in the nail root: common nails, mainly caused by candida.
Onychomycosis with nail dystrophy: usually hurt all the components of the nail and tend to spread to all the nails.
Treatment How?
If not treated, onychomycosis rarely go away, tend to spread to all the anatomical structures of the nail and spread to other nails as well as those around them. In addition, there onychomycosis risk of secondary infection around the nail, especially in patients with diabetes and impaired immunity. The treatment of onychomycosis include measures essentially removing nail surgery and antifungal drugs applied topically or drink. The advent of new antifungal agents in recent times have significantly improved the treatment of onychomycosis efficient thanks to a stronger resistance to fungal and less side effects than the older drugs such as ketoconazole and griseofulvin.
Some new antifungal
Itraconazole: broad-spectrum activity on both filamentous fungi, yeasts and molds. Treatment lasted for 12 consecutive weeks or every January session in 2 months and 3 months nail fungus toenail fungus, each round of 7 consecutive days. Usage Monday equally effective but less side effects than the first usage. The side effects of the drug occurs in approximately 3% of patients, the most common are headaches, digestive disorders, allergy and hepatotoxicity. The drug should not be used in people who have heart disease, pregnant women, avoided with some drugs such as Astemizole, simvastatin, lovastatin, midazolam, cisapride, digoxin, phenytoin and cyclosporine. The rate of successful treatment of drug and 75% recurrence rate of about 21-27%.
Terbinafine: Used primarily with the filamentous fungus infections. With these strains, the drug is highly effective than itraconazole. The treatment duration of 12 weeks for toenail fungus. Very rare side effects, mainly headache, taste disturbances, digestive disorders, liver enzymes and allergic rashes. Avoid concomitant use with drugs that contain caffeine terbinafine, cimetidine, cyclosporine, theophylline and rifampycin. The rate of successful treatment of drug and approximately 76% recurrence rate of about 3-20%.
Fluconazole: is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent, relatively few side effects and is particularly good for candida. In the case of onychomycosis caused by Candida, drugs commonly used 1 times / week for 2-3 months.
The topical medications: Ciclopirox nail polish liquid form is a new drug is put to use in the treatment of onychomycosis since 2000. The drug has broad spectrum activity on fungi and bacteria, the ability to penetrate well into the organization nail. With continuous usage time of 48 weeks, the drug is effective in approximately 29-36% of patients, mostly mild cases.
Prevent toenail fungus
So slippers, shoes or other protective gear legs using a shared bathroom, dressing room or toilet because there are suitable living environment for bacteria to help and fungal growth.
Always wash your feet and keep them dry every day. Can use talcum powder rubbed into the feet, help absorb any moisture. In addition, you can also use cornstarch to absorb moisture.
Replace every day. Should choose socks with breathable fabric such as rayon. Sweaty feet are helping to facilitate the type of bacteria and fungi proliferate development.
Always neatly trimmed nails, regularly.
Do not use tools toenails trimmed. Need restrictions cut, trim, paint or soaked in nail salons.
Wear shoes and socks fit the foot size. Do not choose socks or shoes are too tight, will be very prone to fungal nails.
Regularly wash your feet with soap and water.
Onychomycosis is far more common in hot and humid environment, especially in summer, when the rainy season arrived.
Onychomycosis is common in the elderly, diabetes, impaired immunity or
frequent contact with water is not hygienic, the cause is mainly due to
the strains of filamentous fungi on the skin surface, sometimes by the
yeast. Common fungal toenails than fingernails and fungus is difficult to treat because toenails grow more slowly.
