How to treat

Before treating the nail fungus on the toes or hands with brilliant green, it is recommended to first soften the affected tissue with a bath. A solution of potassium permanganate is well suited for this purpose. After the end of the water procedure, the feet are wiped dry and the nail and the skin around it are treated with brilliant green.

Brilliant green solution and antifungal agents. To enhance the effect, experts recommend using antimycotic drugs together with brilliant green, such as Trident, Clotrimazole, etc.

Zelenka and Burov's solution. The latter contains water, alum, acetic acid and calcium carbonate. You can buy the product at the pharmacy - a 50 ml bottle will cost about 100 rubles. Treatment is as follows:

• cotton swabs are rolled up, moistened with Burov's solution, and placed between the fingers affected by a fungal infection for 20 minutes - contact with diseased nails is required;
• after the necessary time, the lotions are removed, the legs are dried and treated with brilliant green.

As a rule, such treatment also brings quick results, provided that the disease is not neglected. Otherwise, experts advise the joint use of antimycotic antibacterial drugs - Ketoconazole, Griseofulvin, etc. This approach significantly shortens the treatment period, accelerates the recovery of the nail and the skin around it.

A solution of brilliant greens and tea tree oil. It is also widely used in the fight against fungal infections. In combination, these funds have a pronounced antimycotic and disinfectant effect. Before the treatment procedure, be sure to do a foot bath - from a liter of water, 1 tbsp. tablespoons of baking soda and the same amount of grated laundry soap. Then, tea tree oil is applied to the affected nails and the skin around them, and after it is absorbed, the area is treated with green paint.

The procedure is repeated daily until the tissues are free of fungus. In addition, the specialist may prescribe the drug Fluconazole for internal use, which will accelerate recovery.

Zelenka and kombucha. An equally effective combination in the treatment of onychomycosis. The last remedy stops the growth and reproduction of pathogenic flora and restores the appearance of the nail. Before the procedure, a small piece of the mushroom is soaked and applied to the nail plate. Cover with cellophane from above and fix with a bandage. The compress is left overnight. In the morning it is removed, the exfoliated areas of the nail are removed and the tissues are treated with green paint. The course of treatment is 7 days.

In the absence of kombucha, you can use a simplified alternative - laundry soap. It also creates unbearable conditions for the causative agents of candidiasis and onychomycosis of the nails, preventing the growth and development of infection. A thick soapy foam is applied to the nails previously softened with a bath for 20 minutes, then the product is washed off and treated with brilliant green. The procedure is repeated in the morning and in the evening until the pathology disappears.
