Onychomycosis is not only a cosmetic problem, but is affecting as well the health and the quality of life of patients.<\/p><h3><span class=\"title_destacado_text\">How do I know that I have a nail fungus?<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"translation-block\">Usually, nails with onychomycosis represent the following, easy observable characteristics:<\/p><ul><li>Changes in colour of the nail; it may become yellowish grey<\/li><li>Nails that thicken with an irregular surface<\/li><li>Brittle nails which break easily<\/li><li>Presence of yellow\/brown material inside the nail<\/li><li>Bad smell<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"translation-block\">For a complete safety in the diagnosis of onychomycosis, it is recommended to perform a mycological culture analysis.<\/p><p>Sampling for such a culture is painless; small pieces of material obtained during the normal nail cutting process are taken. These particles are sent to the laboratory and after about a month the results will confirm the presence of the fungus including the species, or the lack thereof is reported.<\/p><h3><span class=\"title_destacado_text\">Conservative treatment of onychomycosis<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"translation-block\">A fungal infection of the nail, which does not affect the whole nail can be treated by a thorough cleaning of the nail by cutting and milling. An antifungal lacquer will be applied which, later on, should be applied daily by the patient at home. It is recommended a monthly consultation of the patient, to conduct a thorough cleaning and to assess the development of the infection<\/p><p>If the fungal infections affect the whole nail surface, a combination of local antifungal treatment with an oral antifungal treatment might be applied. As this treatment might not be adequate for all patients, analytical liver function controls before, during and after treatment are recommended.<\/p><h3>Auxiliary measures in the treatment of fungal nail infections<\/h3><p>The patient suffering from onychomycosis should exercise extreme hygienic conditions to avoid contagion, both, within the family and for the own unaffected nails.<\/p><ul><li>Treatment of the footwear with antifungal agents (powder or spray)<\/li><li>Change the footwear daily<\/li><li>Daily change of socks. Preferably use socks made of natural fibre<\/li><li>Use soap with an acid pH value and with an antimicrobial component for daily hygiene<\/li><li>Use a towel exclusively for the affected foot<\/li><li>Conduct a thorough drying of the entire foot, especially the spaces between the toes<\/li><li>Control excess sweating by using antiperspirant products<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dc878a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0dc878a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4116b11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4116b11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e40ebec elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4e40ebec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quiropodia b\u00e1sica Quiropodia Spa Verruga plantar Onicomadesis \u00f3 rotura de la u\u00f1a U\u00f1a encarnada u onicocriptosis Onicomicosis u hongos en las u\u00f1as Dermatomicosis o pie de atleta Para m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n 639 205 286 \u00bfQu\u00e9 es la onicomicosis?
