The consequences (and not only aesthetic) is not forced to wait. Darkened, loose, scrub the nails, the smell of feet and shoes are far from being the worst manifestations of the disease. Without treatment, the fungus is capable of spreading to adjacent areas of the body, reduce local immunity and promote secondary infection – the penetration into the tissues and blood of pathogenic bacteria, as well as become the cause of the contamination. Risk to family members of the patient - those whose skin is in contact with the surfaces on which remain microscopic particles of infected skin. It is for this reason, the acquisition of the home kit an effective way to nail fungus is an excellent idea, especially if you visit the gym, swimming pools and other public places with high probability of infection by the fungus. So, what are the best ways of nail fungus we offer modern of the pharmaceutical industry and traditional medicine?

Benefits. High efficiency is confirmed by clinical studies, but the rate of healing of lesions of the nails taken into account in the last round: the attention has been paid to the fungal diseases of the skin. For this reason, it is difficult to say: if the cream is effective if the onychomycosis, as if the seborrhea of the scalp. But what really proved it at the local use the active substances are not detectable in the blood, even in case of prolonged use of the tool. Therefore, for the treatment of nursing care, pregnant women, and people with diseases of the kidneys and the liver this cream is allowed. Disadvantages. Not very practical, the pattern of use of the cream two times per day), in association with its consistency – not thick and greasy, can deliver the complexity. This is especially true for those who the treatment has taken to the road, or outside of the house.
An assessment. In general, the shampoo deserves the 10 points in ten. But no large-scale clinical studies on the issues that are of interest to us here and now – the treatment of nail fungus - all the same to reduce its rating. Therefore the emphasis on 9 points. Of the opinion: "I liked the shampoo, when the treaty of oily seborrhea of the head. This is why, when it was discovered a fungus of the nail, immediately bought eponymous cream. Not yet noticed visible results on the nail – the beginning of the treatment a week ago, but the skin around the nail started to look more healthy".

Of the opinion: "I believe that the average prices to be high, although the use in a form of spray is really comfortable. The fungus is past, however, as-grown nail, used to cure for about a month". In the varnish for the treatment of nail fungus are used for different active substances, and the cost of these drugs varies widely. What are the best and the most popular of varnish for the treatment of fungal infections of the nails, and they are all united by the same advantages and disadvantages.

The ease-of-use of paint leaves no doubt – periodic or ad hoc treatment of the infringement of the nail before the first (or every) use of the tool, and thereafter all that remains is to follow the instructions: "tinting" the nail once or twice a day or even once per week. Disadvantages. Unfortunately, with all the effective antifungal substances entering into the composition of varnish, they are ineffective if deep lesions fungal, as well as during the localization of fungus under nail. This lack to a certain extent, offset by the ability of the nail to accumulate the drugs, which with the times apply to the interior. But even taking account of this, there is no guarantee that a few months later after the end of treatment fungus does not appear "anywhere". It is known where: site of the nail, which could not penetrate the active substances.
An assessment. The impossibility of predicting the efficacy of a treatment immediately deprives even the best varnish for the treatment of nail fungus from several points of classification. But they will come back, as it still is the best tool for the prevention of fungal infections. Therefore, those who frequent public swimming pools, the sauna and sports halls, it will be interesting to know what the "double" evaluation of varnish: we give them 7 out of 10 points as drugs for the treatment, and 10 out of 10 years as a means for the prevention of nail fungus.

The spectrum of action of tea tree oil is wide, but certain types of mushrooms have a resistance to tea tree oil, which makes this tool useless for the treatment of certain fungal infections. The oil is not recommended to people with individual intolerance components of this tool. An assessment.
