Mycosis of the nails, how to cure it?
What it is and how it manifests itself
Nail mycosis, also called onychomycosis (second medical term), occurs with the appearance of a fungus that ends up infecting one or more nails, hands or feet. We understand that we have been affected when, under the tip of the nails, we see a white or yellow spot. When the fungus goes deeper (and it often happens, unfortunately!) The nails can also get more stained, thicken and shatter on the sides.
The causes
The first triggering factor of mycosis is, of course, the lack of perfect hygiene. Those who practice sports must be particularly careful, because this type of fungus belongs to the group of dermatophytes, which live and feed in warm-humid environments such as showers. and swimming pools, so be careful to expose them too much, especially if there are cuts around the nails, even if they are very small.
However, mycosis can also affect those suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, acne, psoriasis and hallux valgus.
Another cause may be familiarity: if among your loved ones there is someone who occasionally suffers from mycosis risks passing it on to you.

How to prevent?
Unfortunately, sometimes prevention is not enough, but there are small tricks that can help. A few examples? Always keep your nails short, clean and dry. Do not cut or tear the skin around the nails. Try to wear the right socks: synthetics, which let moisture transpire, are preferable to those made of cotton or wool. Do not walk barefoot, especially in public places.
How to heal?
If you have onychomycosis, try Excilor, a special treatment for fungal infections.
Excilor is able to penetrate the nail and modify its microenvironment through a process of "acidification", that is, lowering the pH value inside and below the nail and thus creating an environment hostile to the proliferation of fungi. The effects of Excilor are quickly visible, as the infected part of the nail begins to grow back.
Free of parabens, Excilor is based on glycerol, lipids for nails and biotin.
