A fungal disease is a pathological process that is infectious in nature and is easily transmitted from a sick person to a healthy one. Most often, the fungus affects the skin and nails.
The infection process occurs through household means. This pathology can be cured only with the help of carefully selected treatment, which must be left to an experienced specialist.
A specialist who understands all skin pathologies is a dermatologist. Since a fungus is an infectious process that affects the skin, therefore, this is the specialization of a dermatologist. You can make an appointment with a dermatologist at any clinic or dermatovenerological dispensary.
He is the one who conducts the first examination, but then the dermatologist can refer the patient to a mycologist. A mycologist is the same as a dermatologist, but his specialization is narrower, since he is directly involved in the study of fungal infections of the skin, hair and nails. But it is not always possible to find this specialist in the clinic.
By turning to alternative medicine, you can effectively cure the fungus, as well as eliminate the unpleasant symptoms associated with this disease.
This product is highly effective, since the powder composition contains many alkalis. Under their influence, the fungus dies. To carry out the treatment procedure, you need to take 100 g of powder and pour 100 g of hot water into it.
Soak your feet in water every day. The duration of the procedure is unlimited, since it must be carried out until the symptoms of the fungus completely disappear.
With the help of this remedy it is possible to cure the fungus in an advanced stage. But in order for hydrogen peroxide to give maximum effect, you must first thoroughly steam your nails in water and soda. To obtain a solution you need to take 1 liter of hot water and 20 g of soda. When your nails are steamed, you can take a cotton swab soaked in hydrogen peroxide and then treat the affected nails with it.
To prevent evaporation, wrap your fingers in cellophane. The duration of the procedure is 40 minutes. It is worth making compresses twice a day for 2 weeks. Here, the duration of therapy depends on the stage of the disease. You can get maximum effectiveness if you drip hydrogen peroxide directly into the cavity of the nail plate.
Take garlic cloves, cut them in half and soak in salt. Rub it into the affected area. You can also use garlic pulp. It is used for compresses and rubbing. Do the procedure once a day.
Take a glass of water and add 30 ml of ammonia there. Dip a cotton cloth into the solution and wrap the affected areas. Secure the compress on top with cellophane. Perform this procedure before going to bed.
Using regular soda can prevent the spread of infection. Take baking soda and add water to get a mushy consistency. Apply it to the affected area. The duration of the procedure is 20 minutes. Remove the compress with water and apply powder.
Steam your feet thoroughly. Treat dry feet with boric acid powder. Do the procedures at night, and wear socks at night. Perform these actions 8-10 times.
To prepare this remedy, you need to take iodine, glycerin, water and vinegar essence. Take all components in a 1:2 ratio with water. Treat the steamed legs with the prepared mixture. Do the procedure at night. Perform this treatment 10 times a day.
This remedy can only be used if the fungal disease is at the initial stage of development. All you need to do is simply place cotton swabs soaked in alcohol into the spaces between your fingers. Perform the procedure at night.
An ordinary onion can cope with fungal infection in a very short time. You need to take a paste of this product and apply it to the affected area. Do the procedure every day until the fungus disappears.
Take a small amount of chamomile, sage, nettle and mint. These herbs must be dry. Place them in a sock and put them on your feet. Change your sock every day. In summer, fresh herbs can be used for the procedure.
The first step is to steam your nails in a bath of salt. For 1 liter of hot water there are 50 g of sea salt. To get better results, add a little soda there. Place your feet in the resulting solution and steam for half an hour.
Clean the affected areas of the nail and skin using a nail file or scissors. Treat your feet with laundry soap and your hands with hydrogen peroxide. Wait until your feet dry and then apply iodine to your nails.
Take vinegar and water in equal proportions. Use the resulting solution to knead stiff dough. Seal the skin around the nail with adhesive tape.
Place a piece of dough on the nail itself and secure with a bandage. After 5 days, remove the dough. During this time, the affected nail comes off and a healthy one begins to grow in its place.
To carry out this procedure, it is necessary to use the leaves and stems of the plant. Take 100 g of raw material and pour 2 glasses of hot water. Leave for an hour. Pour the hot leg and the resulting product into the basin. Take a foot bath for 20 minutes. Treat your nails with a nail file, removing the softened layer.
You can cure foot fungus not only with the help of proven folk remedies. When contacting a dermatologist, be prepared for the fact that he will prescribe certain drugs and procedures that, in combination with unconventional recipes, can cure the pathology and grow a healthy nail in a short time.

But what are the best medications for toenail fungus are detailed in this article.
Today, the most modern method of treating nail fungus is laser. It is used when all other methods have proven ineffective. The essence of this procedure is as follows:
But laser treatment also has a certain number of contraindications:
Video of fungus treatment using laser:
Laser therapy involves steaming the damaged nail and then removing it. The duration of treatment is 6-10 procedures. But before you start, you need to undergo some examination. The cost of the procedure is 1500-4500 rubles.
Toenail fungus can be cured using external remedies. They need to be rubbed into the affected nail plate and the skin around it. Today, the most effective drugs include the following:
Special solutions help deal with fungus very quickly and effectively. Candide and Dimexide remain very popular. They have a very powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
They are based on an alcohol solution, so during use, irritation of the skin around the nail may occur. Treatment is required for about 4 weeks. The cost of Candida is 380 rubles, and Dimexide is 54 rubles.
By using the drug in this dosage form, you can quickly remove the fungus not only from the affected skin of the foot, but also between the toes. It is recommended to take the spray when visiting public places: swimming pool, sauna, bathhouse. The most popular drugs include the following:
If you have fungus on your nails, it is prohibited to do a regular pedicure in a salon. But today there is such a service as medical therapeutic manicure. It is performed using a device, thanks to which you can completely get rid of the affected nail. In this case, surgical sterility must be observed.
On video medical manicure:
After this procedure, the specialist will prescribe a correction course for the patient until a new nail plate grows. This method of treating fungus must be performed in combination with other methods. Cost 2300-2600 rubles.
An advanced fungal disease can be cured only with an integrated approach. First of all, the doctor will prescribe antifungal drugs. This may include:
The doctor is obliged to draw up a treatment regimen only after a scraping has been taken from the patient. After studying it, it will be possible to understand the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of microorganisms that influenced the development of the disease.
To cure an advanced fungus, you need to take not only pills, but also use topical medications.
Ointments, gels and creams fall into this category:
The presented preparations are very often produced as a set, which consists of an ointment or cream, a scraper for removing nail fungus, and also an adhesive plaster. If an advanced fungus is located on the thumb, then it can only be saved if you complete a full course of systemic and local medications. Tissues affected by the fungus must be replaced with healthy cells.
When the damage to the nail plate is no more than 1/3, and two out of 5 fingers are healthy, then the fungus can be eliminated with the help of local medications. With a more severe lesion, an integrated approach cannot be avoided. Local treatment should be combined with a long course of antimycostic medications.
In addition, it is necessary to carry out pulse therapy. The selected drug should be taken for a week, and then rest for 3 weeks.
You can also quickly get rid of the fungus by combining Exifin with Lamisil in the amount of 250 g per day. Taking these medications is prohibited during pregnancy and lactation, as well as in patients with impaired liver and kidney function.
On video, treatment of fungus from Malysheva’s point of view:
If we talk about traditional treatment, then Malysheva means by this the extreme removal of the damaged area of the nail plate. In this case, you need to use scissors and wire cutters. After this, apply the ointment with a patch that dissolves the nail plate.
An excellent solution would be preparations with urea or salicylic acid. Apply them to the nail for 2-3 days, then remove them to mechanically remove the nail plate. After this treatment, apply an antifungal drug to the nail, which is released in the form of varnish. If you turn to traditional medicine, then iodine with garlic and tea tree oil will come to the rescue.
The contents of this article will help you understand how toenail fungus is treated.
But what is the best medicine for toenail fungus is described in detail in this article.
For those who want to understand which drugs against toenail fungus are the best, it is worth reading the contents of this article.
How to treat fingernail fungus can be seen in this article, including in the photo.
Toenail fungus is a fairly common occurrence. You can become infected with it in any place where there is a large crowd of people. It is possible to cure the fungus, but this process is quite long. In addition, you need to take a nap during therapy immediately at the initial stage of the disease so that the fungus does not spread to healthier nails and skin.
Among antimycotic traditional medicine, soda for toenail fungus occupies a leading position. The food product can quickly remove itching, burning, relieve inflammation and soothe injured skin and plates.
Baking soda will quickly cure toenail fungus
Soda or sodium bicarbonate maintains the acid-base balance in the body and can create an unfavorable environment for pathogenic microflora.
Baking soda stops the division of fungal spores and inhibits its further development.
Baking soda creates unfavorable conditions for fungal development
In the fight against foot fungus (mycosis) and nail fungus (onychomycosis), soda is used:
Depending on the stage of the disease and the characteristics of the body, the substance can be added to baths, made medicinal lotions and compresses, and also combined with other useful ingredients (salt, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, laundry soap).
To prepare a medicinal bath solution, you need:
Soda baths are an effective remedy for fungus
Crush fresh mint leaves into a paste and mix with salt and soda (1 tsp each). Place a homogeneous mixture between the fingers and on damaged nails and leave for 25–35 minutes. Do the procedures once a day until complete recovery.
Baking soda and mint will help relieve itching and pain
Combining mint with soda and salt allows you to quickly relieve itching, eliminate burning and pain, soothe and disinfect problem areas.
Add a little water to 50 g of sodium bicarbonate to obtain a creamy consistency. Pour 15 ml of aloe juice into the thick mass and mix thoroughly.
Aloe juice has an antifungal effect
The finished paste should be lubricated on the nail plates half an hour before bedtime. After the product has dried and absorbed, do not wet your feet.
Even a “neglected” fungus can be cured at home. Just remember to apply once a day.
A solution with soda and laundry soap has excellent softening properties. To prepare it, you need to dissolve 15 g of soap and 30 g of soda in 3 liters of warm water (no more than 37 degrees). Steam your feet in the prepared liquid for 10–15 minutes. Then cut off the affected nail and treat it with vinegar or iodine.
Treatment in this way lasts until a healthy nail grows.
Baking soda and laundry soap have a softening effect
Dissolve 100 g of sodium bicarbonate in 1 liter of warm water (quench with vinegar), add 200 ml of peroxide and 150 ml of 9% vinegar. Soak cotton pads in the prepared solution, apply to sore nails and secure with a band-aid. Change dressings every 6–8 hours. The fungus can be cured in this way in 35–40 days.
Pour water heated to 40 degrees into a basin, add 50 g of sodium bicarbonate and 7 drops of an alcohol solution of iodine. Mix everything and steam your feet in this liquid for at least 10 minutes. After the procedure, clean problem areas from the stratum corneum, treat with peroxide, and allow to dry on their own.
The recipe helps get rid of fungal disease within a month.
Iodine and soda will quickly get rid of nail fungus
A solution of sodium bicarbonate in combination with kitchen salt will help soften the skin, disinfect affected areas and relieve inflammation.
The feet should be kept in such a bath for 25–30 minutes, then the affected nail should be cut off as much as possible and the problem area should be treated with vinegar, peroxide or iodine. The product kills fungal bacteria and prevents their active spread.
After baths with soda, wipe your nails with vinegar
Baking soda kills pathogenic microflora, regulates the acid-base balance in the body and prevents the proliferation of fungal infections. Its use in the fight against onychomycosis makes it possible to quickly cope with an unpleasant disease and prevent relapses for a long time.
“With the help of soda baths and laundry soap, I was able to get rid of the fungus on my big toe. At first I was skeptical about such a remedy, but after the first use the itching went away and the inflammation decreased. I did water procedures every other day until a healthy nail began to grow.”
“My nail fungus was already developing. Thanks to the lotions, the unbearable itching and painful discomfort decreased. I used soda solution as an additional medicine in drug therapy. I alternated baths and compresses, added peroxide and vinegar.”
“The child was diagnosed with nail fungus and prescribed treatment with pharmaceutical ointments. In order not to poison the little body with antimycotic drugs, I decided to first make soda compresses and treat with hydrogen peroxide. Within a week, positive results were noticeable. The folk remedy helped us.”
I already had a fungus and I thought I got rid of it. But this bastard was apparently waiting for me in winter boots. Now I’m taking exoderil again. There are no visible improvements yet.
There was also a fungus in the common bathhouse. I don't go there anymore. I smeared it with everything, ointments and creams. And I tried folk remedies - it was useless. People don't waste your money. Once the fungus has gotten under the nail, it is difficult to get rid of. At first, everything may go away, based on external signs, but there may still be some fungus left, in the skin or under the nail, and then that’s it. I had to go to the doctor. He immediately said that ointments are all nonsense, at an early stage they can still help, but even then it’s rare. Good luck to all !
That's right, nothing to add, verified by my own bitter experience! Please tell me which doctor you went to? and does it even matter? vsm to a private clinic or to a regular dermatologist! It is already 100% clear that without testing and antifungal drugs, fighting this infection is useless and very costly...
So I’ve been suffering from this infection for twenty years, it’s still possible to cure it somehow, but you really need to change all your shoes. Everyone who writes here about healing nail fungus with varnishes, ointments, etc. are most likely advertising agents for manufacturers. I have not yet seen a single person who has cleaned their nails, but about ten years ago the doctor advised me orungan, which is what it’s called, as far as I remember, these are tablets. The warnings are very expensive and hepatotoxic, that is, they hit the liver and pocket, I took one course instead of two or three, I don’t remember how many there were, but I actually cured the nails on my small fingers, due to circumstances, due to circumstances, I could not continue the treatment and The fungus remained only on two thumbs. After taking it, the nails began to grow, the effect was immediately visible on the thumbs, just a little bit was left.
Now, due to liver problems, I can’t take these pills, and they are very expensive. Ten years ago, a course of these pills cost about 100 bucks. I file my nails down to the meat and cover them with batrafen, which, it seems to me, prevents the fungus from growing further, from time to time the skin between my fingers begins to itch, I smear clatrimazole or spray with thermikon, for a while it looks like...
Alcohol tincture of propolis (10%) helps in 1-2 applications)
Just wet cotton pads and apply a compress overnight)
The skin on the toes will subsequently peel off and change, but the fungus will go away and the nails will become strong and healthy)
When treating, the most important thing is not to catch the fungus again. Nowadays there are a lot of tips on shoe processing on the Internet. This doesn't help. A friend of mine bought a type of “branded product” Mycostop. The instructions said to treat the shoes and you can forget about the fungus. It's all a lie. Like an idiot, he bought this Mycostop and flooded all his shoes. After 2 months, the fungus returned to him.
Unfortunately, there is only one guaranteed way. Throw away old shoes. It is impossible to treat the inner surface 100% without damaging the shoes.
All the main popular drugs, Lamisil, Exoderil, etc. They hide that they don’t always help. In fact, all these drugs are antifungal antibiotics and act on a specific type of fungus. And there is a whole family of fungi: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale, Trichophyton tonsurans, Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis. And they all cause nail damage with very similar symptoms. To be cured, you need to take a culture test to test the sensitivity of the fungus to various medications. Do you think why folk remedies for treating nail fungus are so popular? The answer is simple, only because the same “kombucha” acts on all types of nail fungi.
When treating, it is very important to file off the damaged areas of the nail, since many substances kill the fungus, even ordinary vinegar, but not all substances can penetrate under the nail plate and it turns out that part of the fungus dies, and part safely hides and then gnaws at your flesh again.
I have already been treated with exoderil 2 times and each time the fungus comes back.
And my son caught a fungus at wrestling classes, they changed shoes there. The doctor recommended a new drug, Mikozan, to me; it is safe and can be prescribed to children. We are currently in the process of treatment. The result is already visible, but I was told that I need to treat continuously for at least 3 months.
I liked “Nogtevit”, it’s a very real thing!! But treating fungus requires a lot of patience; I use Nogtevit for both treatment and prevention of healthy areas. I constantly remove diseased areas and treat my shoes with vinegar essence.
As for returning, we need to consolidate the results obtained. I think prevention should become a good habit, we brush our teeth in the morning and evening, why not take care of our legs, they fully deserve our love and care, they work all day!
I suddenly developed a fungus, not only my nails, but also my feet, covered in this nasty stuff, the smell is terrible, and the look is terrible. And beach season is coming soon, I’m just in shock ((((I smear my nails with iodine, but so far there’s no use (I’ve been suffering for a week). What should I do, tell me, help!!
Have you tried any folk remedies? Some people get help, my friend at one time smeared her feet with celandine and said that there was some improvement.
Has anyone tried taking vinegar baths? None of the drugs from the pharmacy like Lamisil, etc. help, so you have to turn to traditional medicine (((
You know, I tried these baths. It’s okay, they relieve itching and somehow alleviate the situation and sensations, and they fight off the smell quite well, but they don’t completely cure, unfortunately. At least they didn't help me.
Yes, I already realized that these baths will not cure you completely, no matter how hard you try. I decided to try Mikozan, I’ve been smearing it on my nails for a total of 4 weeks now, the appearance of my nails has noticeably changed for the better, which gives me hope))
I treated the fungus for a very long time with various means, and there was practically no effect. Thanks to this site, I saw information about mikozan here. The choice fell on it because the fungus is not addictive, I decided to try it and was very happy with the quick effect. Not only did the fungus go away, but the nails became more beautiful and stronger than before. It looks like it also has general strengthening properties!
Iodine helps very well with fungus. If you lubricate the infected areas more often, the result will be, but unfortunately, not 100%. Folk remedies are good for prevention, but they are often not enough for a complete recovery.
Serov, thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that folk remedies help someone else too! The last time I had a fungus, I was also treated with iodine. Another important thing: you need to be careful with shoes and hosiery, some may feel sorry for them and not throw them away, so it is important to process them somehow too.
I used Lamisil. It’s not cheap, but it doesn’t fight fungal infections. It did not help relieve inflammation or itching.
I smear the second bottle of exoderil. There are no shifts!
Hi all! I actively play sports, play basketball, go to the gym, to the pool, in general, I don’t know where I got this attack. My feet itch terribly, everything between my toes is covered in blisters, it’s unbearable. I bought loteryl and started using it right away - nothing helps! Tell me what to do, how to treat it.
Try Ecodax for feet, it’s inexpensive, about 100 rubles. It was worth it, but the itching went away quickly, I hovered my legs and applied it right away, many people say that it helps a lot.
I didn't like loteryl either. I applied it before and after the pool - no effect. I’m also tired of looking for a normal remedy for fungus, and it’s a shame to come to the pool with such legs.
Has anyone managed to cure the fungus completely? I got it about half a year ago, unexpectedly, but basically, if you paint your nails, you can’t see it unless you look closely. I couldn’t take the pills that the doctor prescribed because... I started having liver problems. I don't know what to do. Help, although the fungus is not very noticeable, I still want to be cured.
I got infected at the beginning of LAST May! Where? I have no idea! And this is especially offensive!
I went to the pharmacy - they ruined me for 3500 rubles. In the annotation of the drug (taken orally) cirrhosis of the liver was prescribed as a complication! Threw it out right away! I used Exoderil - there was an effect, although it was very slow, but then the fungus suddenly appeared again, and it no longer helped. I combed the Internet and tried folk remedies.
As a result, I bought Mikozan and went to the dermatologist. I only recovered a month ago, so you can imagine how much I suffered. It’s a pity that I didn’t go to the doctor right away to buy a normal, effective, and not dangerous product!
I hope it helps someone else.
They say that they often become infected with a fungus from taking antibiotics. I ate these antibiotics in batches and now I suffer from fungus on my feet. For a whole year I tried to be treated with Canizon. In the summer, it seemed to start to get better while I was walking barefoot in sandals, but in the winter it got worse again. This canison is of no use: it’s like milk from a goat.
I treated toenail fungus for a long time in different ways, as a result, one thing more or less helped - remove the infected plate and treat the whole thing with iodine. By the way, Exoderil is complete garbage, I was treated with it for six months and no progress towards recovery.
Folk remedies stopped me, but did not cure my nail fungus, despite long-term use and high hygiene of my feet, socks and shoes. I tried all sorts of loteryls - the effect was somehow short-lived ((I washed my feet at least once a day with soap. The only thing was that the characteristic smell disappeared, but then reappeared! What should I do, help??
A killer remedy for combating foot odor is Hexamethylenetetramine.
In the late 90s, security officers at work suggested. Previously, it was produced in the form of tablets, in a metal can/flask, and cost mere pennies.
You need to crush two tablets, pour each into a sock and put them on clean feet before going to bed. Wear socks with medicine without removing them for 24 hours.
I tested this method on myself - on the third day after use, yellow crusts appeared on the skin of the feet, which peeled off within a week. The smell disappeared immediately and for at least half a year, the sweating of the feet decreased significantly, I did not treat the old shoes with anything, I just replaced the old insoles with new ones.
I was surprised by the effect, since the indications for the use of the medicine are kidney diseases, not fungus.
I asked a doctor I know, and he explained that most likely the effect is due to the presence of UROTROPINE in the medicine.
Unfortunately, the release of this medicine has now been discontinued in the form of tablets (I have never tried the liquid form). If there is a problem with odor, and this happens extremely rarely, only after wearing artificial or rubber shoes, I use Teymurov’s paste (it contains methenamine) , there is an effect, but the duration of action is shorter.
draw your attention. that I did all the experiments on myself without a medical examination or doctor’s prescription.
I cured toenail fungus not only in myself but also in my family with MIKOSAN serum. I smeared my nails twice a day (4 weeks) and then once a day until a healthy nail grew, it was convenient to use, and did not have an unpleasant odor. Personally, in general, for the two nails that I had affected, I needed two five-gram packs.
Tell me, has anyone been tested for fungus? I took it - the result is negative, but I SEE it! What to do - go retake?
Tests do not always show fungus. I also saw that I had it, but in the tests it showed up only the second time.
With fungus, the itching appears very strong. This itching is difficult not to notice; if the feet do not itch much, then it is likely that there is no fungus.
I was treated for fungus on all my toenails, as a result I went to the clinic, the doctor advised me to remove everything (((, I went to a paid clinic, had everything removed there, then I had to take a complex of very expensive pills + all sorts of different ointments and regular procedures at the clinic. Before this, I treated the fungus for more than 5 years, tried all possible Lamisils, etc., everything helps for the time being, then all this treatment turns out to be useless.
It’s already been six months since the treatment, my nails still look great, I don’t remember when I was able to admire them!
But removal, of course, is a radical method; if I only knew a remedy that could help without such measures, I would definitely try it! So don’t get sick and don’t self-medicate! Good luck to all!
Nadezhda, hello. I have fungus on my big toe. I was treated by doctors several times. I have taken my nails off twice already, the plate is all clean, but the nail grows back with fungus, no pills were prescribed these times. Once I was treated only with tablets, also as prescribed by a doctor, but in this case the doctor did not prescribe removal of the nail plate. By the way, the small nails were cured of the fungus, but the fungus remained on the big fingers. I live in the periphery, we do not have paid clinics for the treatment of fungus, we do not perform any procedures here, we ourselves are treated at home as prescribed by the doctor. Maybe you can tell me what pills you took against the fungus, what pills you took to protect the liver and in what dose, and what ointments and creams you used to treat the fungus after removal. I will be very grateful if you answer me. Olga.
I got infected with this stupid fungus from a friend(((I got it in full, so to speak! I borrowed his flip-flops to go to the pool once, and you wore them too! The doctor prescribed Batrafen. Until I was cured, my friend also still can’t get rid of the fungus((!
Has anyone tried treating fungus with essential oils? A girl I know advised me, but somehow I don’t really believe in it. ((This is what you need to treat something like this, just to be sure?
I am treated with tea tree oil, you can mix it with lavender oil. Tea tree oil is the strongest natural antiseptic. I’ve been taking treatment for about 2 months, in the morning and in the evening, and also during the day, if possible, the results are pleasing, but you still have to continue until the diseased nail grows back, but it’s better to do it constantly and for prevention, so that you don’t pick up a new one, just like brushing your teeth in the morning and in the evening.
The doctor told me that in order to cure nail fungus, it must be completely removed, otherwise it would be useless to apply medicine to the affected nail. I didn’t listen, because I was very scared, and bought Mikozan at the pharmacy (to be honest, I chose the medicine out of the blue). For the past week I have been admiring my now healthy nails, I gradually removed the old diseased part, and the new nail grew healthy. So removal is not always necessary; it is important to choose the right drug.
Tell me, what product can also be used for children? My son is 7 years old, they found a fungus on him, no dermatologist, he doesn’t know what to prescribe, he prescribed some baths with celandine (((
There is so much useful and interesting stuff on this site! I will also use your advice, guys! And then I also discovered a fungus, I need to be treated somehow ((
Guys, thank you very much for your experience that you share! I will also slowly try these remedies and recipes, I really hope for success!
And my fungus appeared when I was breastfeeding, during this period the doctor forbade me from doing anything, only prescribed some ointments, which turned out to be completely ineffective ((It turned out that I simply filed off the diseased area of the nail more often, everything that was possible. After breastfeeding, I was treated with pills, but they are very harmful, keep in mind (It’s better to look for an alternative.
Hi all! Recently I discovered a fungus on my big toe nail, the nail began to turn yellow, it was generally kind of scary at the edges, and the nail had clearly begun to crumble(((I read a lot on the Internet of horror stories that it is almost impossible to recover from this, I dug there were a depressing number of stories about the sad experience of treating fungus, and I just started to panic. The main thing was that there was summer and the beach ahead, and I had fungus. I went to the clinic for an appointment, first one, then another, each doctor gives his own advice In the end, I decided to try Mikozan, which was repeatedly recommended to me in different clinics (I was also offered to pull out the nail, but I didn’t dare). Now the nail has almost completely recovered, almost all of the diseased part has already been cut down, the new one is healthy)) So try it, sufferers )) It's not so scary!
For a long time, my two toenails have been deformed and thick and difficult to trim. Finally I went to the doctor, he said that it was a fungus, he explained what to do at length and at length, and boiled it all down to the fact that the nails need to be removed in some way…. Afraid(((
Maybe you shouldn't rush to delete it? Look how many things people try, one thing works for some, another for others, but many are cured without removing the nail! And besides, a torn nail does not guarantee anything: a new one can grow back again! ((
I wouldn't rush to remove the nail either! Maybe you’ll still pick up something, not from medicines, but from traditional medicine, or vice versa! Even removal, if you decide to do it, must be associated with complex treatment!
I’m really tired of sick nails with fungus, I got to the point where I began to fumigate my nails with smoke, but nothing helps at all ((I’m sincerely happy for those who are able to recover.
My family has had a problem with foot fungus for a long time. The doctor prescribed Lamisil. but we did not get the expected effect((. We then decided to use folk remedies to enhance the effect. The improvement became noticeable only when combining Lamisil with vinegar rubs. So it is powerless alone, at least for us.
The same song! Lamisil also helped us, if only we combined it with something else. And when I got sick again, it stopped helping at all; it seems that the fungus simply “got used to it” ((
Iodine helps very well with fungus. If you lubricate the infected areas more often, the result will be quite noticeable!
There are different fungi, it helps well with lichen, but it is useless for leg diseases, it doesn’t even relieve the itching. Ecodax relieves itching well and quickly.
I’m glad that people have already posted so many of their “recipes” for fungus on this page; I think now it will be easier for many to decide on the method of treatment and avoid some mistakes! I haven’t found my remedy yet, so I’ll wait for new stories with a happy ending and try again!
People, do you know what is the most effective remedy for fungus now? Mikozan! It was like this: my husband recently had this crap on his feet. I saw a doctor, the prescribed medication did not work. Can you imagine the panic we had? This is a big problem for us; at work we have to communicate with people, and he works as an instructor in a fitness center, so we were afraid that the fungus would also appear on our hands, and then on our seams in general! Who will train with an instructor who has fungus? Yes, you can infect people! In the end, he was cured with the mycosan already mentioned here; he didn’t have time to transfer anything to his hands; the matter was limited to only two nails on one foot. He recovered quite quickly, so try this drug, it really TREATS!
There is a recipe for fungus: mix 1 tbsp. spoon of nitrofungin, the same amount of 98% vinegar and garlic juice, 5% iodine and pour it all into a resealable container.
Then wipe your nails with this solution twice a day (morning and evening).
They say, however, that the treatment takes a long time, but it should help.
I treated the fungus with kombucha, it helped me very well at one time. I try to avoid chemicals, my grandmother is generally a well-known herbalist in the area, so going to the pharmacy for me is like an excursion, nothing more. I can also recommend baths with celandine for fungus.
Interesting method with kombucha, I haven’t tried it yet! I will definitely look for the recipe on the Internet. And then on the third attempt I was diagnosed with onychomycosis, they prescribed some ointments and a bunch of pills, but I already understood from the discussion that it was better not to take them. So I will continue to experiment with folk remedies. And you’re right about pharmacies - there’s nothing to do there.
Soda baths help me fight nail fungus. I can’t say that everything goes away at all, but it noticeably improves the condition of the nails, so I highly recommend it as an express remedy.
The fungus may not manifest itself for a long time, and then result in major health problems. Therefore, you should always carefully monitor your nails, because it is better to start treatment as early as possible. Everything can be cured with folk remedies, the same iodine, for example. In fact, there are a lot of types of fungus, but there are also plenty of resources. So don’t despair and look for yours!
Thanks to everyone who shared their experience of treatment with mycosan, it also helped me, everything went away in 4.5 months! So yoohoo! Long live summer and open shoes! And a pedicure.
I suffer a lot due to fungus on my toenails - I paint it with varnish, but I still constantly think that someone will see my nails unpainted, and now they are dark, scary, clearly yellow, what should I do?! I went to the doctor at Kozhven, he said to use mycospor - zero effect. I unrealistically want to be cured - but I’m afraid of ruining my liver, I’m already complex, everything has gone downhill with MCH, because I’m afraid that he will see and be disgusted. Tell me, what is the treatment?
I have been struggling with fungus for a long time, I have already tried a lot of things. I recently removed it with some special product, it all took a long time and was unpleasant, and most importantly, after reading the reviews, I realized that there is still no guarantee that the nail will grow healthy (((I’m just getting depressed!
I have been suffering from toenail fungus for several years now. It all looks ugly, I don’t remember the last time I wore open shoes and sandals. At home I’m embarrassed to walk around without socks, I’m ashamed in front of the young man. I went to a mycologist, but after the first procedure with him, I didn’t go again - the methods of removing a nail are sadistic, I can’t stand it. I gave up on this matter for a while, but we are about to have a baby soon, and I am very afraid of infecting him with this nasty thing. I bought Lotseryl varnish - zero effect! To my horror, I noticed that two more toenails began to change color to some kind of yellowish color. People who have recovered from anything, please share! Please! I will be very grateful!
I can personally recommend Mikozan to you. You will gradually file off the nail, a healthy one will grow in its place - and that’s it. I got rid of the fungus in 4 months, but this, of course, is individual, give or take. And don’t go to all these stupid procedures anymore, they are of no use!
Thanks to those who advised me not to buy Batrafen, I saved a tidy sum)) Now I’m trying to be treated with folk remedies, albeit more slowly, but also cheaper, and there’s still a high probability that I’ll be cured. I'm betting on iodine.
Iodine treats lichen well, has no effect on foot fungus, and does not even relieve itching. Ecodax relieves itching well and is inexpensive, about 100 rubles.
I got a fungus from a relative 15 years ago, I damaged my nails with tight shoes, then I put on my aunt’s slippers, and she had a fungus, and it started. My nails began to grow so thick, I filed them off at the top and dripped exoderil for about a year, but it didn’t help at all. Then I went to a dermatologist, they prescribed medication, took it for half a year, again no improvement. I gave up on this matter and had my nails filed and then extended by a padologist. I'm tired of all this. I read this recipe on the Internet and decided to try it. For three months I took the drug Irunin, I take it for a week, then take a break for 3 or 4 weeks. I removed the spared nails with mycospor ointment, applied it for 2 weeks and the nails were cut off very easily. I also took hepatoprotectors at the same time, I don’t remember the name, to protect the liver, because... Irunin is very toxic. By the way, foreign orungal is better, but it is expensive, our equivalent is Irunin. After all this, half a year has already passed, the nail has grown by half, I don’t understand whether it’s healthy or not, because... I haven’t seen my healthy big toe nails for a long time, but they are definitely much better than before. I'm thinking of buying Mikozan now
I went for special pedicure treatments at the medical center. It’s gotten better, I can honestly say, but it requires a lot of time; once you start, there’s no point in quitting, then it’s better not to start. Before this, mycospor was prescribed, but it didn’t help, unfortunately.
How to get rid of nail fungus quickly and effectively? I really need to get better as soon as possible because I have a vacation in a month. Maybe someone can recommend an express remedy?
Kombucha helps a lot against fungus, maybe I missed it, someone wrote about it. An effective method of treatment, suitable for lovers of traditional medicine, for whom everything is not very neglected.
The most useful remedy for fungus is its prevention. Otherwise, people will let themselves go, and then begin to look for a way out. I live in a village, and I don’t know such problems, but in the city there are continuous complaints and sores!
I had it first on my feet, then it appeared on my left thumb, after that I went to a dermatologist: the doctor prescribed me a real course of treatment (with ointments, tablets, baths, etc.) a course for six months, thank God... So it’s better to see a doctor) ))
I would like to add to all the advice that you should never self-medicate, but first get a diagnosis from a good dermatologist and listen to his recommendations. Any illness can cause even more harm, believe me.
In case of fungus, I immediately fill the matter with iodine, everything goes away pretty quickly. The only thing is that sometimes stains remain on linen and clothes, but there’s no escape from that.
I spent a long time thinking about how to treat the fungus, and as a result, I finally decided to buy mycozan. Not bad: in three months the fungus has almost completely disappeared, the nail still has a little time to grow, so I finally cut it down. There are no words!))
I went to a dermatologist in our city, he looked at me and didn’t really say anything except that I had a fungus. I myself am aware of the fact that it is a fungus, I would like to understand how to treat it ((The nail is slowly turning yellow, I decided for now to just smear it with iodine.
Hi all! I agree with everyone who recommends Mikozan, the product also helps me, thanks to everyone who shared their experience of treatment and talked about this wonderful product. I have made noticeable progress in treatment, I think that soon I will be able to show off my legs again without shame or embarrassment. I wish the same for all of you.
Now there is supposedly a wonderful remedy for fungus - exoderil, many doctors strongly recommend it and talk about great healing, etc. Don't be fooled! This is complete bullshit, I was treated with it long and hard, to no avail, it’s better to smear it with iodine, and even then it’s more effective.
I also spent 4,000 rubles on this damn Exodiril and it didn’t help me.
My fiance has had problems with fungus since the army, we tried to be treated with mycospor, but we didn’t get the expected effect, we are at a loss as to what to grab next, there is simply no extra money for another ineffective remedy. Tell me what I can try to treat so that I can definitely solve this problem?
I love saunas, so I know first-hand what fungus is. Unfortunately, picking him up there is a piece of cake, so you often have to meet him. I tried it once during the next manifestation of the fungus Lotseril. Unfortunately, despite the high cost, the medicine is not very effective, and the fungus “gets used to it,” as I found out (((, so even if I am cured, I won’t be able to use it again.
So don’t be lazy, but try folk remedies! Rubbing your feet with vinegar helps a lot (and don’t forget about your nails); some people make compresses with baking soda! This is much better and, most importantly, safer than Loceril and the like!!
So I didn’t wait for an answer and bought mikozan. Not an express remedy, of course, but it treats quite specifically, my nails began to look better, although I’ve only been using it for two weeks. But compared to what it was, it’s still much better!
The site is just great! I found so many necessary and important things for myself here! Now I know that I need to try folk remedies, and then rush to the pharmacy, I can imagine which ointments for fungus are better not to buy! Thank you all very much!
I was prescribed Mycospor, but I didn’t notice any significant improvements. Mom makes me baths with soda, and they help better, although the improvements are noticeable very slow and insignificant. I just can’t wait for it to finally go away!
I also suffered with a fungus, I was prescribed Batrafen and iodine, but I couldn’t afford Batrafen, so I was treated with iodine. A normal remedy, but the treatment took more than a year. This student economy option worked for me too)))
I tried a lot for the fungus, as a result I am now being treated with mycosan, nothing else has “taken” my fungus. But mycosan really gives results, though the nail grows healthy, which has already been written about here several times, I was pleasantly surprised by the drug.
My nails are basically brittle and ugly, and then they started to turn yellow. The doctor said it doesn't look like fungus, but I doubt it. What should I do, maybe it’s better to go to another dermatologist? Or can a fungus really be identified without analysis?
Yes you? How can this be without tests? A good dermatologist should examine you from head to toe and prescribe a bunch of tests. Definitely, you need to see another specialist.
We don’t have a dermatologist, we only have a therapist, he looked and said that I have fungus on my nails, but other than folk remedies, he can’t advise anything, because that’s not his specialty. How do you like this answer??((
Yes, this fungus of yours is such a beauty. When I got MCH, I was simply terrified, you can get infected with it in no time. It’s good that I didn’t have time to pick up this beauty))
At one time I bleached my nails because they started to turn yellow, but I didn’t even think that it could be a fungus. In short, I was exhausted myself and infected my wife, now we also bought mycozan and are actively treating it. The yellowness really goes away, the nails look completely different, although I think there’s still a long way to go before the end of treatment - we’ve started this business.
Tell me, yellowing of the nail definitely indicates that it is a fungus. I often work with chemicals, I read that the nail may well begin to change color from the chemicals. The only thing that confuses me is that one of my nails has also become very fragile and layered. Interested in your opinion.
I go to the pool, I picked up this bug about 3 months ago, the doctor advised me to smear it with Mycosan, after a couple of weeks everything went away, then I smeared it for another month, for prevention. Everything is fine now.
I also liked Mikozan, I agree with all the positive words about him. The remedy does not help, of course, instantly, but how could it be otherwise? After all, nails are a very complex mechanism, and if we talk about feet, nails generally grow very slowly there. In general, Mikozan pleased me because it is very convenient to use, I won’t even talk about effectiveness, everything is clear here))
I saw enough advertisements about loteryl and decided to buy it. They painted and advertised it in such a way that it couldn’t be better, and any fungus would go away in one or two minutes... I still don’t understand how I could buy into yet another advertisement. There is practically no effect, although I used it for a long time and according to the instructions (((Very disappointed((((
Tell me, is it really possible to recover completely or not? I have had fungus for six months now, my nail has become thick and is moving away from the nail bed. If desired, of course, you can hide it with varnish, but I really want to cure it. I can’t take oral medications, I say right away, because I have a diseased liver.
Actually, it's possible. But it's hard work. It is not enough to smear, you need to properly maintain hygiene and care for your nails and shoes. I use Mikosan. He does his job very well. The fungus does not spread further along the nail, the nail grows back and the affected areas are filed off gradually (as the nail grows). And the affected areas became softer and not so lifeless.
Kakadi. Of course you can, I used Mikozan to treat fungus on the nail, although the course took three months, but a new healthy nail grew, so everything is in your hands.
I treated him for a long time using different means. Result 0. Mikozan gave real results. The nail was susceptible to fungus halfway down from the bed itself.
The effect will be better if the nail is completely removed. For those who have thickened nails, it will be difficult to cure without removing the nail. I advise you to remove the nail with mycospore, it softens the nail plate well, and you can cut the nail without pain. Tested on myself
Of all the above, I liked Mikozan; it gave effect after just three weeks. It was possible to get rid of the fungus completely only when a healthy nail grew back. Now I try to keep my feet clean and change my socks more often, there have been no relapses.
I’ve been smearing mycosan on my nails for exactly 4 months, twice a day, as expected, but the fungus has only gone down by about a third. Is it possible to cure completely or is everything useless?
I picked up nail fungus 25 years ago in the army. I have been taking Irunin for two months now and applying Mikosan, the results are positive. Previously I tried Exaderil and Lamesil and they did not help.
Even as a child, I contracted a fungus from my mother, first one nail, then everything, some more, some less, doctors, their recommendations did not help, I tried, probably everything! But as a result, there is a variable improvement, it seems that it is not visible under the varnish, but without it it is simply terrible, on the toes the large nail is so thick that it is difficult to cut, on the hands they are wavy and yellow, the nails on the thumbs move away from the skin, crumble and peel, in one in a word, I had to hide it from my husband, that is, I had to. Now the positive: on one of the sites I found positive reviews about hydrogen peroxide, tried foot baths made from peroxide, there really are results! Just slow. The smell disappears immediately, but the appearance of the nail changes, but at a snail's pace. Of course, I couldn’t take baths every day (remember about the conspiracy from my husband?), but 1-2 times a week definitely worked. I bought Mikozan, there was only one incentive to buy it: I haven’t tried it yet. Now pay attention. I smear it with mycosan for 1 week (2 times a day) and do peroxide baths, my nails are no longer yellow! The waviness disappears, is barely noticeable, the size of the affected nail on both the toes and hands has decreased by 1 mm (I measured everything before mycosan)! My conclusion: hydrogen peroxide enhances the effect of mycosan.
Mikozan has only recently appeared, but a lot of people have already been cured on this site. We need to quickly run to the pharmacy, otherwise they will sort it out.
Hi all! I almost cured the fungus) Hurray)) I read all this on the Internet: buy hydrogen peroxide, cotton swabs and duct tape! Cut a piece of a tampon and drop some peroxide, then apply it to the affected nail and wrap it with tape! Wait 20 minutes)) it will really burn a little) be patient!! In a month you will see the first results! To get rid of the fungus altogether, buy Irunin tablets, they cost about 720 rubles, drink 1 capsule for a week, then take a break of 3 weeks and drink again for a week)) and the fungus is gone)). By the way, I smeared iodine on my nails, it had no effect, I just burned the skin and that’s it!! Good luck, it can all be treated)).
In the photo: 1 photo taken on December 15, 2 photos on January 7, 3 photos today))
I was prescribed Dermazol. Did not help.
Dermazol didn't help.
The cure is real! The main thing is not to be lazy, do not treat the fungus in a day or week, for a long time from 2 to 6 months, and sometimes more. I recently dealt with a fungus myself. I bought Mikozan for myself and solved this delicate problem, I recommend it. Pah-pah marigolds are beautiful now)))
I have been treating fungus for 2-3 years now. I tried a lot of pharmaceutical products - garbage. And in general, all this is bullshit, a scam for money. Just one spray seemed to clear up the fungus (in the corner of the upper edge of my nail). And then it appeared again, although this time it was implicit. So, don’t believe the advertising, it doesn’t get rid of anything forever.
Going to doctors is more expensive. I think that we need to look for folk remedies. Most likely, the answer is, as always, on the surface, and very simple. And naturally they hide it from us, because... We need to make money off of us idiots. I read here that they treat with iodine, soda, perhaps herbal decoctions will help. In general, I will look for the answer in simple means. If I find it, I’ll share it)
Good afternoon At the moment I’m treating the fungus with Dermazol, I can’t write anything specific about improvements yet, I’ve just started treatment. And I only eliminate the smell of sweat with Duftafit spray! It’s not chemical, it’s based on plant extracts, so I spray it on my bare feet, in my shoes and there’s no that terrible stench. I don’t know how, but the spray eliminates the smell, and does not interrupt it, like regular antiperspirants!
There is a very good remedy for fungus, I ordered it on this site, I don’t remember the name now. I myself suffered for a long time with this infection until I tried this remedy. The smell is disgusting, of course, but the result is just a bomb - I smeared this liquid on my nails and between my toes at night for a week, as described in the instructions, and you won’t believe it, after a week the foot fungus was completely gone and a healthy nail began to grow! So I recommend it to everyone, I want to help other people suffering from this disease! Try it, you won’t regret it, and if it doesn’t help, the site offers a money-back guarantee! Be healthy!
Try the cheap product from the Tula pharmaceutical company Fukortsin. Works great against nail fungus. By the way, I keep it in the first aid kit as an ambulance. It has many useful properties, for example, it can be smeared on cuts and wounds instead of iodine. DOES NOT stain fabric or burn skin.
Good day, fellow fungus fighters!
People don't believe the advertising. The dermatologist told me so, they are beautiful, colorless, odorless, but they are of no use. I was diagnosed with a fungus only the second time, the first time they didn’t find anything and just sent me to a therapist saying there was no fungus, the problem was something else. I walked like this for 3-4 years (I have lesions on my fingernails) and finally decided to go to a therapist and take tests from a dermatologist in advance. Since the old test data was not preserved, they suggested seeing the doctor again.
This time the doctor was experienced and immediately took tests; at the second appointment she said that there were no fungi, but the culture tests would only be done in a month. And a month later I was glad that they had finally found the culprit of my nail suffering.
And this is what they prescribed: Once a week, take a bath of 5 liters of warm water, 2 tablespoons of laundry soap + 2 tablespoons of soda and keep your nails in the water for 30 minutes, so to speak, steam it. Afterwards, clean the skin around the nail and remove any hangnails.
clean your nails. Dry and then treat with ointments and solutions.
Terbizil ointment 1-2 times a day.
Tablets Mikosist 150g or Diflucan 150g. Once a week.
Nitrofungin solution once a week. (Legs become bright yellow, but they said better than advertising products)
The course of treatment is 3-6 months.
Treatment of shoes: Vinegar 70% + water 1:1, soak a swab in the solution, wipe the shoes from the inside and put in a bag and seal tightly for 24 hours. Period 1 time in 1.5 months.
PS As we wrote above, there are many varieties of fungi and medications must be selected using laboratory tests for the fungus. So if you self-medicate, you should at least know what type of fungi you have, i.e. In any case, you need to get tested.
Good luck to everyone in defeating this scourge!
Instead of steaming, you can smear it with uroderm. It also softens the nail and the medicine penetrates better after it. And a bath, of course, is also a good and pleasant procedure. There’s just not always time for it.
The fungus appeared after childbirth. They said that the immune system had weakened and here you go. I caught it during the procedures at the salon. (even expensive salons do not protect against this crap). I visited the doctor. I ordered ointment according to a prescription at the pharmacy - for feet and nails and took Itrazol according to the regimen. I started treatment in February, and by May I had healthy nails and feet, despite the fact that the fungus was advanced. Twelve years have passed. The fungus is back again. I went to the hospital with a prescription that I had saved from my previous treatment (the piece of paper with the prescription became yellow and old). I left this piece of paper because... I read a lot of literature, everywhere it was said that this nasty thing could come back, and so I, too, “waited.” I came to the hospital, told the doctor to write me the same prescription (it was taken by some young criminal), he began to refuse, sent me for tests, said that such ointments are no longer made, I need to buy serious ointments like Lamisil, etc. The treatment will cost about 50 thousand. For reference, 12 years ago the treatment cost me 12,000 rubles. Ointments from the pharmacy cost a penny, but pills cost about 500 rubles for a week. I still keep the old recipe, so I’m thinking about ordering it at the pharmacy through the “back door”, I know what pills to take. The doctor said that such ointments are not made now, they are based on sulfur. Maybe someone can recommend some inexpensive sulfur-based ointments? Help. There is no faith in doctors, they are all idiots. It's rare to find normal ones. And the young people in general all bought diplomas.
Itrazol tablets according to the scheme, sulfur-based ointments. The treatment is correct. She cured foot and nail fungus herself. Treatment began in February, and in May my nails were already healthy and beautiful.
