How does Loceryl® nail polish work?

Loceryl® contains the active ingredient amorolfine, which quickly penetrates the nail and penetrates deep into the nail bed.This means that the antifungal effect lasts particularly long and the nail only needs to be treated once a week.Amorolfine stops the fungi from growing and kills them.The active ingredient is a broad-acting antifungal agent and covers all relevant nail fungal pathogens.Compared to other treatment methods, the nail is not detached with Loceryl® nail polish, but can grow out healthily.

Can you help treat nail fungus?

Yes, through small everyday measures you can accelerate the healing success of Loceryl® nail polish against nail fungus and prevent relapses:

If you have a fungal infection, towels, washcloths and socks should be washed as often as possible and at at least 60 degrees.

You should never walk barefoot in public wet areas.

Also ensure good blood circulation in the feet, e.g. by doing foot exercises.

Wash your feet every day and make sure to dry them carefully afterwards, including between the toes.

Since fungi can penetrate the skin particularly well through cracked areas of skin, you should always moisturize and care for your feet well.

What does nail fungus actually look like?

Nail fungus is best recognized by discoloration and changes in the nail.White, yellow or gray-brown spots form on the nail, which are often elongated or semicircular.Later, the nail may thicken, become brittle or crumbly and, as the disease progresses, it may even separate from the nail bed entirely.The fungal disease usually begins at the edge of the nail and progresses towards the nail root.The fungi feed on the keratin in the nails and skin.This is why the nail bed is often also affected.Toenail fungus is much more common than nail fungus on the hand.The big toes and the fifth toenail are most commonly affected.The risk of infection increases from the age of 40, and almost every second person over 60 suffers from nail fungus.Men are affected more often than women.

How does nail fungus infestation occur?

Healthy nails usually have their own protective barrier against fungal pathogens.But even the smallest injuries can lead to fungi settling in the nail area and multiplying there.The so-called filamentous fungus is the main cause of nail fungus, accounting for over 80%.Skin and nail fungus are contagious diseases and are transmitted through contact with infected people as well as through contact with infected objects.There is a particular risk of infection in changing rooms, wet areas of sports facilities, fitness studios, swimming pools and hotels.You can prevent infection everywhere by not walking barefoot.Circulatory disorders and a weakened immune system can also increase the risk of infection.

Nail fungus and athlete's foot often occur together

Nail fungus is often accompanied by athlete's foot because both diseases have the same pathogens.And just as nail fungus can spread to the skin of the feet, athlete's foot can spread to the nails (ping-pong effect).If symptoms of athlete's foot also occur, it may make sense to supplement nail fungus therapy with treatment for the skin of the feet.

Tip: For this you can e.g. For example, the “Loceryl® Cream” can be used to treat foot and skin fungus.

Application

Nail fungus does not heal on its own. Without treatment, the fungus can spread to other nails or areas of skin and infect other people.It is therefore particularly important to treat it early.Start your very first treatment with Loceryl® by first filing the affected nail parts with a disposable nail file.Infected nail material is removed before treatment.Then clean thoroughly and apply Loceryl® nail polish with the DIREKT-applicator.From now on, simply continue using the medical nail polish once a week until the nail has grown out completely healthy again.

Tip: The affected nail only needs to be filed down before the first use.This is no longer necessary for any further applications.However, you can file again if necessary, for example if the nail plate has thickened due to nail fungus.
