What is nail fungus?

Nail fungus or onychomychosis is a fungal nail infection occurring in the nail and causing its gradual destruction. It is characterized by the changing appearance of the nail, with the nail plate becoming thickened and yellow in colour and beginning to separate from the nail bed. Pain, especially during walking, may be experienced. Without treatment, the condition is likely to become worse and the infection may spread to other nails, the skin, or even contaminate other individuals.

What can cause nail fungus?

Many factors promote the appearance of nail fungus: micro-traumas, wearing synthetic socks, narrow shoes, certain sports including swimming, hiking or marathon running and, generally speaking,all situations in which feet are prone to sweating, maceration, dampness and repeated shock. Nail fungus results from fungal contamination of the nail after prior infection of the skin, as for example in athlete's foot. In fact, when poorly treated or left entirely untreated, skin fungal infections can spread and cause nail fungus. It should be noted that certain individuals are more easily subject to fungal nail infection: diabetics, people suffering from blood circulation problems, and those with occupations requiring the wearing of safety shoes or boots, etc. If the problem persists, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How can you treat it?

When a nail is damaged by fungus, its repair process takes a long time in most cases. A toe nail may take up to 6 or even 9 months to outgrow completely! It is therefore important to take action as soon as the nail begins to show the first signs of deterioration, and to continue use of Mycosan as directed in this leaflet for successful treatment. Treatment of nailfungus consists first in inhibiting its development in the affected nail, and later in ensuring the growth of a healthy nail. At the same time, it is important to reduce all risk of contamination to surrounding nails.

Instructions

Before use, clean and dry nails and where appropriate, remove all traces of nail polish.

Attention! Squeeze tube gently.

Apply a small drop of serum twice a day for four weeks on the affected nail and under the tip of the nail.A small drop is sufficient. Leave on to dry for one minute. After four weeks apply Mycosan once a day until the affected area has grown out.

After treating the nail for one week, carefully file down excessive thickness of the affected area with accompanying nailfiles once a week. By filing the nail the serum will penetrate the nail plate easier for optimal results.

Use every nail file only once to prevent spread of infection.

Finish the treatment for a successful result!

Preventive treatment - to avoid contamination to surrounding nails apply Mycosan Fungal Nail treatment kit once a day to healthy nails near the fungus-affected nail.

In order to monitor the progress of the nail, make a pencil note of the area affected by the fungus every monthon the diagram below. This will help you measure the progress made.

For a successful treatment, it is important to follow the treatment schedule consistently.

Use the schedule below to keep track of your improvement.

Even though improvement may not be so visible in the first month, this does not mean that the treatmentis not working. Human nails grow slowly and it may take 6 to 9 months before the affected area iscompletely grown out. Treat the nail consistently and monitor your progress with the nail template.
