Varnishes that relieve the fungus

Unlike ointments and creams, which quickly disappear from the surface of the nail (washed off or absorbed into clothing), the nail polish is perfectly fixed and does not cause inconvenience during application. Here, only it is expedient to use it only in cases when the pathological fungus occupies not more than 60% on the nail plate.

Main characteristics of varnishes

After application to the nail, the healing components of the varnish penetrate deep inside, simultaneously blocking the access of oxygen to the spores. Within 48 hours after the first use, the maximum concentration of lacquer in the nail bed is reached and the pathogens of the fungal infection begin to die. Visibly noticeable only a decrease in redness, but this is a signal that the death of parasitic fungi has begun.

• Acceptance of systemic drugs is contraindicated;
• The superficial form of onychomycosis is diagnosed:
• Matrix was not infected with fungus;
• No more than 2-3 nails are affected.

The therapeutic varnish can be applied under the cosmetic. Such use will not lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of treatment.

Subtlety of use

Correctly selected varnish from the fungus of the nails on the legs is the key to a successful cure , but only if the technology of application is thoroughly observed.

The varnish is convenient in that it is not necessary to remove the nail plate to facilitate penetration of the medicine deep into the nail. But, nevertheless, the nail plate should be prepared for application of varnish. Foot and nails are washed with household soap, and then degrease the surface or a special cotton swab that comes complete with varnish. You can use other products that are sold in the pharmacy: an aqueous solution of blueberry, alcohol, diluted in half with water, iodine solution. The next stage of processing is thorough drying or wiping of feet and nails with a cloth made of natural materials or a cotton disc. Next, the nail plates are ground with a special disposable nail file (often included). Nail should also be cut as short as possible. After the end of the preparatory activities, all tools for manicure / pedicure are disinfected or discarded, if they were intended for one-time use.

The process of applying the varnish is as follows: it is spread thinly over the entire surface of the nail plate at the frequency indicated in the instructions to the preparation. It also indicates whether and what to remove the remaining lacquer on the nails before applying a new layer. After the lacquer dries completely (it lasts from 30 seconds to 2 minutes), you can start everyday activities. While waiting for the varnish to dry, the spatula used to apply the varnish is wiped with alcohol. They also process the neck, after which the bottle is tightly closed.

It should be taken into account that it is not possible to use two different therapeutic varnishes simultaneously, because antifungal activity has a property in this case to decrease.
