A strange circumstance: there are more and more new antifungal drugs in pharmacies, but there are no less people suffering from fungal diseases. In addition, statistics clearly show that infection with a fungus has recently become an epidemic. And this despite the fact that only every tenth sick person seeks help from a doctor. For some reason, the fungus is not considered a serious infection among people. Not deadly! And this is the most dangerous illusion.
The fungus just for now can "pretend" to be such a harmless misunderstanding, from which only problems, that a terrible itch yes, sorry, a heavy spirit of the legs in individual cases. Well, another cosmetic defect, in which the nails lose all attractiveness, exfoliate and crumble.
In fact, an untreated fungus can later spread to the foot and other parts of the body. A more aggressive infection can easily penetrate through fungus-damaged skin, and therein lies the real danger in the form of intractable skin conditions. It turns out that the fungus also penetrates a person's internal organs, disrupts their activity, which leads to serious consequences and even death in people with weakened immunity.
And you can catch the fungus very easily in the bath, sauna, swimming pool, through other people's slippers and hygiene items. The general fascination with self-medication with antibiotics also leads to the "binge" of the fungus. Well, wearing synthetic socks and shoes only makes the situation worse.
In a word, if a nuisance like nail fungus has happened to you, start treatment immediately.

Wait until the egg is completely dissolved in vinegar, remove the undissolved film of the resulting substance. You won't need it, but the vinegar egg liquid is the miracle cure for nail fungus.

Iodine for nail fungus
One tool tested by many from experience is common iodine. Drip a drop of the drug on the nail plate at night, sleep in your socks. Usually in 10-15 days the fungus disappears.
According to another method, we need to put some iodine in a basin of warm water and soak our feet in the solution for 10 minutes, then cut the affected areas of the nail, treat the skin with peroxide and apply a bandage with antibacterial ointment. The duration of the course of treatment is only 3 procedures. Many people who have used this method highlight as another advantage the fact that the effect of the procedure is quite fast.
You can also mix iodine and apple cider vinegar in equal proportions and treat the affected nails. For prevention, you can use neighboring nail plates. Many people in their reviews focus on the fact that in order to treat nails affected by onychomycosis and healthy, it is necessary to take different discs. After treating a nail with a fungus, it is not necessary to treat neighboring healthy nail plates with the same cotton pad. This procedure should be performed morning and evening every day for two weeks. After completing the course, at least 10 days must pass, then you can (if necessary) continue treatment.
Horse sorrel, garlic and lemon against nail fungus
Pass sorrel roots through a meat grinder along with a head of garlic and half a lemon. Spread the resulting "mashed" on small cotton swabs and apply to painful nails, fix with tape or bandage. Leave overnight. It almost always helps, but try not to get this mixture too harsh on the skin around the nail. The course of treatment will be approximately 21 days.
