How to get rid of fungal nail infections and how to treat nail fungus at home. #nailfungus #onychomycosis #nailinfection What is a Fungal Nail Infection? A fungal nail infection (Onychomycosis) occurs when a fungus infects a fingernail, toenail or the skin under the nail (called the nail bed). Fungi tend to attack nails that are already damaged through small cuts in the skin around your nail, or through the opening between your nail and nail bed. What are the symptoms of a fungal nail infection? Common symptoms of fungal nail infections include: * your nail getting thicker * your nail changing colour (yellow, white, blue, purple or black) * the skin near your nail itching or cracking * your nail separating from the nail bed * pain around the nail area. What causes fungal nail infections? 1. Spread from a fungal skin infection. For example, athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis) can spread to the toenails if the skin infection is not treated early. 2. Fingernail infection may occur after a toenail infection has become established. The fungus may spread to a finger if you scratch your itchy toes and toenail. 3. Fingernail infections are also more likely to occur if you wash your hands frequently, as constant washing may damage the protective skin at the base of the nail. 4. A nail that has recently been damaged is also more likely to become infected. You have an increased risk of developing a fungal nail infection if you have other health conditions eg: * Diabetes. * Psoriasis. * Poor circulation. * A poor immune system * A general poor state of health such as heavy alcohol consumption. 5. Nail infections are more common in people who live in hot or humid climates. 6. Smoking also increases the risk of developing a nail infection. Sometimes a fungal nail infection can occur 'out of the blue'. Who develops fungal nail infection? Between 3 and 8 out of 100 people will have a fungal nail infection (tinea unguium) at some stage of their lives. It also happens to young swimmers and athletes. Other Nail Disorders That Look Like Nail Fungus: * Psoriasis * Eczema or dermatitis * Lichen planus * Viral warts * Onycholysism (separation of nail from the nail bed) * Onychogryphosis (nail thickening and scaling under the nail) which is common in the elderly How To Prevent Spreading Fungal Nail Infections? * don't share nail clippers or nail files * treat other fungal infections such as athlete's foot. * keep your feet cool and dry by wearing breathable footwear and cotton socks * keep your toenails trimmed * avoid high heels and shoes with narrow, pointy toes that may injure your nails * when using communal showers, wear protective footwear * using antifungal shoe spray * hot washing your socks * bleaching your shower floor and nail instruments * try to avoid injur ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkqpynXo3HI

How you get Genital Herpes, what are the most common Genital Herpes symptoms and how you treat Genital Herpes fast. #genitalherpes #treatgenitalherpes What is genital herpes? It is a sexually transmitted viral infection that causes blisters on a person's genital skin (vagina, penis or testicles) or anus. What are the symptoms? * painful blisters and sores on the genitals * tingling or pain in the area before the blisters appear How common is it? Genital herpes is very common affecting 1 in 3 adults. Upto 80% of people do not know they have the virus (Herpes Simplex) because they have few or no symptoms. How do you get it? The virus is usually transmitted from a cold sore on one partner's mouth to the other partner's genitals during oral sex, but can also be caught during sex if a partner has active genital sores. Sometimes the first episode of symptoms appears months or years after being first infected. This is why a first episode can occur during a current faithful sexual relationship. It is not clear why this happens, but may be due to the way the immune system reacts to the virus in different people. Can it come back? After the first episode, it can come back again even after a long time as the virus stays in your system. Flare-ups tend to be less severe and shorter than the first episode lasting from 7-10 days. Recurrences tend to be less frequent over time which can vary greatly between individuals. Some people have 6 or more a year, others have much less. Some people notice particular triggers like sunlight, physical illness, excess alcohol or stress that trigger a flare-up. You can use anti-viral treatments to control flare-ups. What treatments are there? There are treatments available called Aciclovir (Lovir) and Valaciclovir (Vaclovir). They work by preventing the virus from replicating so your immune system can fight the infection. If started early, it reduces the severity and duration of symptoms. These medications are only available on prescription. How do I take it? If this is your first episode, you must see your doctor for a swab and examination as sometimes other infections may be present that need treatment eg Chlamydia. For a flare-up of confirmed genital herpes the treatment is 3 days of Vaclovir, or 2 days of Aciclovir. If you are getting 6 episodes or more a year or severe attacks it is usually best to take Vaclovir or Aciclovir every day. The recurrences will either stop completely or their frequency and severity are greatly reduced. General advice is to take this for a year and stop for 3 months to see if the recurrences are still frequent or bothersome. **Link to what genital herpes rash looks like: https://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/genital-herpes-images/ Want to see more videos about health? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmyIM2vuPbg
