Onychomycosis,

There are many reasons for nail changes, and nail diseases cannot be considered to be onychomycosis. However, it should be grasped that the onset of onychomycosis often starts with one fingernail and then gradually spreads to other fingernails. Experts from the Guangzhou Air Force 458 Hospital said that if ten fingernails or toenails develop at the same time, it is often a manifestation of systemic diseases and a thorough physical examination is needed.

Timely treatment

It is best to choose treatment from April to September of the year. Everything grows most vigorously in spring and summer, as is nails. Choosing an effective treatment method that suits you in this season can shorten the treatment time by one third, The impact on patients is minimized and costs are minimized.

Watch out for cross-infection between family members

According to statistics, about 30% of family members of onychomycosis patients in China also have different degrees of foot mold infection. Experts say that people often ignore the severity of onychomycosis. Only when they treat outbreaks of fungal infections in other parts of the body can they find onychomycosis in their hands and feet. Many of these infections come from their families.

Supplement: Onychomycosis of nails caused by external force for a long time

Many female friends have the habit of wearing high heels because of their work or image needs. I don't know that wearing high heels or small (smaller) shoes for a long time will increase the chance of contracting onychomycosis.

Due to the structural problems of high-heeled shoes or small (compactly squeezed) shoes, the force on the forefoot of the foot will increase after wearing, and the five fingers will squeeze each other, which will easily cause the nail to deform or the nail bed to peel off. When the health of the nails is affected, indirectly, the chance of contracting onychomycosis will greatly increase.

Experts point out that the widespread spread of onychomycosis in the family is mainly caused by the patients' inattention to the disease, the failure to seek and adhere to the correct treatment in a timely manner, and the poor hygiene habits in the family. Onychomycosis mostly spreads directly from hand and foot ringworm. To prevent onychomycosis, we must first cure the hand,
