Diabetes mellitus, despite its sweet name, is a very serious disease with a lot of complications. One of them is the so-called diabetic foot. It develops on average in 5-10% of patients with diabetes.
The diabetic foot is one of the most formidable complications of diabetes, accompanied by deformation of the feet and the appearance of ulcerative lesions on them, which is caused by damage to the nerves and blood vessels of the legs due to the underlying disease.
Basically, diabetic foot syndrome develops in patients with type II diabetes. In order to prevent a tragic ending in the future, namely the amputation of the leg, the treatment of diabetic foot must be dealt with in a timely manner. As soon as the so-called minor problems of the feet appear (excessive dryness of the skin and its thickening, fungal lesions of the nails, ingrown nail, cracked heels, calluses, mycoses, corns, swelling of the legs and pain combined with lameness), it is necessary to pay close attention to the condition of the skin of the feet and toenails.
Diabetic patients often suffer from mycoses, that is, fungal diseases of the feet and nails. This is not only an unaesthetic sight, but also a rather dangerous disease, including for all household members. The fact is that mycoses are very contagious, and if someone in the family is sick, then the risk of infection for the rest of the family is extremely high. Therefore, at the slightest change in the color or shape of the nails, their delamination, crumbling, you must immediately contact a specialist.
The specialists in ortonixia and the treatment of nail fungus effectively and painlessly deal with this problem at the Self-Perfection clinic. Here, the fungus is fought with the help of the German apparatus RAST-med, which works on the principle of photodynamic therapy. This is a relatively new development of scientists, which is based on the simultaneous effect of a special emitter and a pigment on microorganisms and spores. The pigment is applied to the cleaned nail for 10 minutes (the cleaning of the affected part of the nail is carried out with an apparatus and is absolutely painless). The areas affected by the fungus are stained with pigment, after which the lamp is turned on, the luminous flux of which acts directly on the affected areas. The method is absolutely painless and effective, it can be used even by pregnant women and children.
In addition, the elimination of the fungus is carried out without the use of drug systemic therapy (tablets). And this is very important, especially for diabetics! It’s no secret that antifungal drugs have a number of unwanted side effects. Exposure to a lamp and local mycotics (drops, ointments, etc.) in the Self Perfection clinic avoids these negative aspects.
Before proceeding directly to the procedure, the specialist will examine problem areas, take a scraping from the affected nail for sending to laboratory analysis for diagnosis. The processing time for one nail is 20 minutes. The number of procedures depends on the area and depth of damage to the nail plate, as well as on the type of fungus that affects the nail. As a rule, the first five procedures are carried out once a week, the next five procedures are carried out once every two weeks, then once a month, and so on until a healthy nail begins to grow.
An equally unpleasant and painful problem is the ingrown toenail.
The Self-Perfection clinic uses an effective and most modern method of eliminating this problem – orthonyxia using various correction systems: titanium thread and gold plate. The technique consists in hygienic processing of the nail and surrounding tissues, followed by cutting the nail plate. Full recovery comes quickly enough.
In order not to become a victim of the above diseases or to recognize them in time, make it a rule for yourself to regularly, once a month, do a professional hygienic pedicure. The specialist will immediately see the emerging problem and take timely measures.
Important! Hyperhidrosis, diabetic foot, deep cracks, ingrown toenails and other problems in people with diabetes mellitus require careful care and verified effects of cosmetic preparations. It is necessary to use for foot care only those cosmetics that contain in the description the phrase “approved for diabetic patients.” For example, the clinic “Self-perfection” uses a specialized series GEHWOL-med, which combines products for serious care. The GEHWOL-med series contains only the most effective products that give patients with difficult diseases the confidence that their problem will be solved in the best possible way. It is advisable to use professional cosmetics of this series for home care as well. The mass market in this case is undesirable because it is much less effective. Careful regular care (both home and salon), high-quality professional cosmetics and, most importantly, the patient’s desire to effectively resist the ailment – these are the three pillars on which foot care in diabetes is based.
Incidentally, 14 and 15 November in “Perfection itself” acts 15% discount for professional cosmetics for diabetic feet. The action is timed to the World Diabetes Day, which is celebrated around the world on November 14.
