Treatment of nail fungus (treatment of onychomycosis)

Fungus affecting the nails of the toes (feet) and hands is an extremely common problem. The risk of nail fungus increases with age; the disease is contagious to loved ones and never goes away without treatment.

On the contrary, over time it becomes more and more obvious, spreads to other nails, contributes to fungal infection of the skin, as well as the addition of a bacterial infection and allergic reactions.

Fungal nail infection

Many patients perceive these words as a sentence, despite the fact that now there are many opportunities to cope with this problem.

What does a patient experience when he begins to suspect he has this disease? First of all, shame. People are embarrassed by affected nails, cannot take off their shoes on the beach and in the pool, do not wear open shoes and blame themselves for being unclean.

This is not true, because a fungal disease is an infection and anyone can become infected with it. After all, we don’t blame ourselves for catching the flu?
