Abstract
Onychomycosis is an infectious disease of the nail apparatus, caused by pathogenic fungi, manifested in the form of changes in color, configuration of the nail plate, as well as inflammatory processes in the soft tissues adjacent to the nail. Classic therapy in the form of systemic antimycotics is not suitable for everyone (for example, elderly patients with severe liver disorders or concomitant chronic diseases); itraconazole and terbinafine are not combined with a large number of drugs. Therefore, the use of auxiliary non-drug treatment methods becomes extremely important. This article discusses the method of podological treatment of nail plates, proving its effectiveness and safety.
