Nail iodine: benefit and harm

The antiseptic is affordable, sold in every pharmacy, costs a penny. Iodine helps very well in the treatment of nail plates.

Let's get acquainted with the useful properties of iodine:

• it will help get rid of fungal infection.

The benefits are obvious, especially since the tool is affordable and is literally a penny. You just need to understand that any drug can harm if it is wrong to use it.

Can iodine harm? Yes, undoubtedly, especially if you use this powerful antiseptic chaotic. Iodine can not be used every day, since there is alcohol in the composition, and it dries the nail plate. Therefore, every day you can’t use this tool, but 1 or even 2 times a week can apply iodine to the nails, with the aim of strengthening. This method will help strengthen the nails and avoid their fragility. This tool works as a preventive one in order to prevent infection and fungus.

If the nails are already spoiled, then to strengthen the nail iodine just suitable. Just apply it every other day so as not to dry the plates. Ideally, this is a tool for brittle nails, very thin, with chips and cracks.

The only drawback is that iodine stains the nail plate. That is, after the use of the antiseptic, the nails become yellowish. In some girls, the color returns quickly, and some have to walk with yellow nails for a long time. To remove this shade, you just need to lubricate the nail plate with a slice of lemon. By the way, lemon is also an excellent tool for nail care. It has a slight bleaching effect.

How to strengthen your nails with iodine? Select 2 days a week. For example, Monday and Thursday are preventive days. At night, you need to treat your nails with a cotton swab moistened in iodine or use a cotton wool (so as not to stain your hands, table, clothes and furniture). Processed - wait a few minutes, then it is advisable to then not wash your hands, so you need to do processing before bedtime. In the morning we got up - looked at the nails if they are a yellowish tint, then you need to cut off the slice of lemon to wipe each nail with juice. Such actions will help strengthen the nail plates and make the nails ideal: strong and beautiful.

Treatment of nails with iodine

Iodine for nail growth is wonderful, but what to do if a problem has appeared? It is necessary to urgently take measures and iodine from nail fungus will help. Before telling how to quickly and effectively get rid of this common disease, let's find out what are the causes of infection and signs of the disease.

Who has already encountered a fungal infection on the nails, knows how difficult it is to get rid of it. Doctors say that it is very simple to become infected, but in order to recover, you need to try thoroughly. The fungus is transmitted (aka onykhomycosis - the medical term of this disease) even within a few hours from one family member to another, when visiting a sauna, a pool. Only one visit to the public place (saunas, steam rooms, pool) is enough to make the fungus attack a new person. By the way, he "clings" not to everyone. People with weakened immunity are subject to the disease.

What are the signs of an insidious disease:

1. The nails were modified: the plates became yellowish, covered with stripes. The color of the nail affected by the fungus can be either yellow bright or pale, or dark, grayish shade.
2. Healthy legs do not smell, but the unpleasant smell struck by the fungus when wearing synthetic tights and socks, if you walk in shoes for a long time that does not breathe and do not comply with the elementary rules of hygiene.
3. The nail changes its shape and structure: it becomes heterogeneous, can thicken or vice versa, thin out in the middle or closer to the edge.
4. Nails can be very dense in some places due to thickenings, and in other places-on the contrary, thin and brittle.
5. Around the affected nail, the skin is constantly itchy, it seems that it literally “burns”.
6. Cracks appear on the nails.
7. The skin around the nail changes the shade, becomes brighter, reddish.

Many experts insist that special synthetic drugs are used in the fight against the fungus. But it is not always possible to cure the fungus only with pills, you need an integrated approach.

How to smear your nails with iodine:

• wash your hands with soap;
• use a special varnish removal;
• wash your hands again to wash off the chemical drug with the nail plate;
• take a fat cream (for the hands or body, you can oil), treat the skin with a cotton wool around the nail plate. Such prudence will protect from dryness and will not allow the skin to be painted in a dark yellow shade;
• treat the nails with iodine (brush or cotton wool). Wait until the product dries, then you can go to bed or go about your business. Only in the first couple of hours it is better not to wet your hands.

Treatment of nails on the legs and hands of iodine. Folk recipes

At an early stage, getting rid of the disease is easy with the help of a conventional bubble with iodine. Let's start with the simplest recipes - these are baths. This method of treating nail fungus is considered the most optimal, since the nail plate is not overdried and not painted yellow. The plus of this method is also that you can treat all the hands or legs with an antiseptic, and not just the nail plates.

Recipes:

Then, for another two weeks, it is necessary to treat the nail plates only with vinegar (fortress 9%), and with fuccurcin - the final 2 weeks of treatment.
4. Apply iodine on the nails of the legs: we buy in a pharmacy not ordinary iodine, but blue, add our own apple vinegar (so reliable, because in the stores a synthetic is sold), dilute 1 to 1, apply this mixture twice a day: in the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning. When they washed and wiped their legs dry, in the evening - similarly, before going to bed. The course of treatment is 14 days, then a ten -day break and we start all first.
5. Oil plus iodine. We take a spoonful of oil, preferably olive, warm in a water bath, add 3-4 drops of iodine, gently mix with a toothpick. We use a cotton stick to distribute the oil along the nail plate. We wait 10-15 minutes so that the oil is well absorbed, we can carefully soak the remains with a napkin, put on cotton socks. You can’t wash your legs, it is advisable to do such a manipulation right before bedtime. Sleep - in socks. After sleep, remove socks, wash the legs in a basin with warm water, wipe dry, apply any nutrient cream for the skin.
6. Salt and iodine for nails are an excellent recipe for strengthening and combating the fungus. You need to make a bath in the evening before you go to bed. Take hot water - 1 liter, sea salt - 40 g, add salt to the water and 2 tbsp. baking soda. We do not use iodine against the fungus of nails yet, it will come in handy a little later. We make the bath for half an hour, process the nail plates, if necessary. Then we wipe the dry and now process with a cotton swab dipped in iodine, problem areas. If the fungus has spread over all the nails, then you need to treat the skin between the fingers, and best of all the feet are completely. The nails on the nails need to be applied to 3 entry, only between each one - to take a break so that the antiseptic manages to absorb.
7. Sea salt and nail iodine is another simple recipe. It is necessary to dilute a tablespoon of salt in a glass of water, add 7 drops of iodine, mix, hold your hands in a warm bath, then wash in warm water, wipe it well. If necessary, iodine rubs into the nail plates.

If you did everything right, then after 7-10 days the first results will be noticeable. You need to navigate not only visually, but also feelings, because iodine literally burns the fungus, so the feeling of light itching is a normal process, and if a burning sensation appears in the nail, then you need to increase the interval. That is, apply iodine from the fungus of nails on the legs, as well as on the hands not every other day, but after 2-3 days.

IMPORTANT! During processing and course of treatment, make sure that the fungus is not to bring the fungus to neighboring, healthy nails. Therefore, process separately affected nails and healthy, different tools. Remember that if only one nail is affected, you need to process everything!

Treatment of nails with iodine. Reviews

« Iodine from nail fungus you can win if processing is systematically and not be lazy". So Olga believes, who managed to defeat the fungus at an early stage.

« There is no such pill that will help get rid of the fungus. I drank - and forgot, it will not save, because over time, fungi adapts to drugs and they do not affect them. Therefore, I believe that you need to contact a specialist in order to eliminate the problem. I took pills and at the same time made baths with iodine. I liked the method with butter, because the skin does not dry. I tried to apply pure iodine on the nails while I was on vacation, but I think that this is not enough, I would need to treat longer. By the way, iodine strengthens the nails well, I liked it" - says Nadezhda.

Oksana, 54 years old: "" The pharmacy has a lot of things from the fungus, only expensive. I was already faced with a fungus at one time, cured, now I use iodine for prevention. I buy the one on alcohol. I only recommend making a sample, as even harmless iodine can cause allergies. I applied a drop of iodine on the skin, waited 20 minutes, in my case everything ended safely. And if there is redness or the skin will “burn”, then look for another remedy for the fungus».

Ivan, 65 years old: "" Iodine did not help me, he rushed late. The nails are long ugly, thick, with stripes and not as pink as before. I thought it was age, but it turned out that the fungus. He treated with iodine, but only lost time, now I understand that in advanced cases you will not be saved with one iodine. I almost cured, there was one nail on the thumb, I continue with iodine processing once a week, for prevention».
