MOLISAN — SKIN & WOUND CARE SOLUTION is used in external care programs for affected skin and nails. This page separates skin/foot care, fungal nail disease, hygiene and situations in which the diagnosis should be clarified.
MOLISAN — SKIN & WOUND CARE SOLUTION
Possible signs
- itching, scaling and redness;
- cracking or maceration between the toes;
- ring-shaped or gradually spreading scaly patches;
- thickened, discoloured, brittle or crumbly nails;
- separation of the nail plate from the nail bed.
Nail colour or shape alone does not prove a fungal infection.
Skin and nails are different
- Many superficial skin dermatophyte infections are treated with topical antifungal medicines for weeks.
- Scalp ringworm usually needs systemic antifungal treatment.
- Nail disease should be confirmed when prolonged treatment is being considered.
- Fungal nail treatment takes much longer; healthy nail growth from the base is the practical sign of recovery.
MOLISAN protocol for skin and feet
Recommended MOLISAN external-care protocol:
- wash the affected area and dry it thoroughly;
- apply a four-layer dressing soaked with MOLISAN;
- re-wet it about every 10–15 minutes so it does not dry;
- repeat the procedure 6–8 times daily during the first 5–6 days.
If the nails are affected
- soften the nail in warm water and carefully trim/clean the accessible damaged portion;
- use warm MOLISAN at approximately 40–42 °C;
- maintain contact for about 30–35 minutes as a bath or warm wet application.
Standard medical treatment for confirmed onychomycosis may include topical or oral antifungal medicines. Treatment can take many months, and a new healthy nail must gradually grow out.
Footwear and hygiene
- keep feet clean and dry, especially between the toes;
- change socks daily and after heavy sweating;
- allow footwear to dry before reuse;
- do not share towels, shoes or nail tools;
- use individual footwear in public showers and changing rooms;
- treat athlete's foot promptly to reduce spread to the nails.
What to avoid
- do not use steroid cream on a rash that could be ringworm without clarifying the cause;
- do not stop prescribed antifungal treatment as soon as symptoms start to improve;
- do not cut deeply into the nail or injure the nail bed;
- do not assume every itchy/scaly rash is fungal.
When to seek assessment
- the nail is abnormal and fungal infection has not been confirmed;
- the problem spreads despite care;
- several nails or much of a nail are affected;
- there is significant pain, swelling, pus or bacterial-infection signs;
- the scalp is affected;
- the person has diabetes, impaired foot circulation or weakened immunity.
Fungus, psoriasis and eczema are not the same
Fungal infections are caused by fungi and can spread. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated condition, and eczema is a group of inflammatory skin conditions. They can look similar but require different treatment approaches.

Cystitis. In April 2011, while visiting Tbilisi, Georgia, I caught a cold and developed bladder inflammation. Later I also experienced discharge, which a doctor diagnosed as a fungal infection.
I took Colloidal Silver three times a day, one teaspoon each time, using a total of two bottles. I also used Molisan locally as a cleansing rinse. Thank you very much. I feel wonderful.
I took several bottles of Molisan back home with me, and now I am running out (I use it for preventive purposes). Unfortunately, I have not found an equivalent product in Russia. I regret not buying Colloidal Silver as well, since it is much more expensive here than it was in Tbilisi.
