What Is White Superficial Onychomycosis?

White superficial onychomycosis is also known as superficial white onychomycosis. At first, a small turbid area on the surface of the deck began to appear. Lunar area, the free edge of the nail, or two folds. Can be limited to one place or spread to the whole.

White superficial onychomycosis

White superficial onychomycosis also known as superficial white

The symptoms of white superficial onychomycosis are white spots on the surface of the deck or white 1 mm diameter patches, and the nails are brittle and scrape. This type consists only of gypsum-like trichophyton or mold-like fungi,

White superficial type

Onychomycosis caused by Candida is often associated with paronychia. It begins with wrinkles on both sides, with a small amount of pus, and the skin on it becomes red, swollen, and tender. The skin near the nails was dark, raised, and separated from the nail bed underneath, and finally the entire deck was affected. Nails are more susceptible to infection than toenails. More common in housewives, cooks and people who often come into contact with water. The deck is not as soft as Trichophyton infection, and yellow mold can also cause onychomycosis, and there may be a lot of debris under the deck.

envirnmental factor

High temperatures and high humidity are important conditions for the frequent occurrence of ringworm. Therefore, ringworm in summer and rainy seasons is more severe than winter and dry seasons. Some drought-resistant and cold-resistant ringworms still cause disease in cold and dry seasons, which is more common in northern China. The working and living environment of patients cannot be ignored. Well-ventilated places have a lower incidence than airtight, stuffy places. In crowded places, the incidence is high, and in contrast, it is low. It can be seen that occupations and types of work have a great impact on the incidence of ringworm. In high-temperature, high-humidity workshops, especially in poorly ventilated environments where heavy work clothes must be worn to produce, it is susceptible to ringworm. Without bathing equipment or failure to take a timely bath, the incidence of ringworm will increase significantly.

personal reason

Men, women and children can get ringworm. Generally speaking, young men and women are more susceptible; those who are active and active are also susceptible. Ringworm is not inherited, and it is unclear whether there is a family susceptibility. Personal hygiene is directly related to ringworm. People who frequently change clothes and often take baths are less susceptible to ringworm. People who wash basins in public bathrooms and swim in pools with poor sanitation are more likely to contract ringworm. Pets such as cats and dogs are susceptible to ringworm infections on pets. People who sweat a lot are prone to ringworm.

Factors for certain chronic diseases

Such as malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, ringworm in patients with diabetes are common, and the symptoms are also severe. Some severe cases, such as patients with AIDS and advanced cancer, not only have a high incidence of fungal ringworm, but also have a wide distribution of ringworm, which is peculiar and very stubborn. Heredity may be another factor in the persistence of fungal ringworm. Recently, a chronic dermatophytosis syndrome has been reported abroad, caused by Trichophyton rubrum. The patient also suffered from tinea pedis, finger (toe) onychomycosis, tinea corporis, multiple body tinea, and folliculitis. The course is long and stubborn. It was investigated to be associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. When the underwear is too thick and too tight, it is easy to induce jock itch and gluteal itch. People who often sit on the toilet are more susceptible to asthma than those who don't. Those who do not shower in time after swimming are susceptible to ringworm and tinea versicolor (sweat spots). In addition, people who frequently bathe and scratch are more likely to develop ringworm. This is because too much bathing damages the protective layer of the epidermis. Frequent scratching not only causes scratches, but also tends to implant fungal dander into the affected area. Or spread elsewhere.

1. Influence psychology

The harm of onychomycosis will cause the patients with onychomycosis to have very physiological stagnation. The patients with onychomycosis often have a sense of illness and inability to escape, and often have distress and upset feelings, such as events, marriage, survival, communication, etc. When affected and lost, the physical damage to patients with onychomycosis is greater than that of ordinary people, which often results in inferiority.

2. affect life

Obstructing normal physiological activities is also one of the dangers of onychomycosis. A new remote expert from Shenzhen Guangji Hospital reminded that the harm of onychomycosis can cause pain, sadness and discomfort in patients with onychomycosis, affecting the movement of the hands. Many subtle incidents that humans are engaged in, such as threading needles and picking up small objects, rely on the help of nails. In addition, like scratching, it is very convenient to have nails, and it is very poor to find temporary substitutes without nails. After some children get onychomycosis, they have to wear cloth shoes or opaque socks to hide in the hot summer.

3. Limit work

Limited incident choices, some types of jobs are limited after suffering from onychomycosis, such as doctors, nurses, silk weavers, public relations incidents, etc. Because of the harm of onychomycosis, people often don't feel very good, and the events that have high requirements on the image, such as welcome, stewardess, and models, are often not taken on.

With the advent of new technology, the complete eradication of onychomycosis has become a reality!

The three research institutions of Nanjing Dongda Medical Research Institute, Guangdong Medical Research Institute Affiliated Hospital, and Shenzhen Guangji Hospital's Gray Nail Clinical Base announced a very important medical achievement: the use of PC-microcomputer drug iontophoresis technology, combined with the latest American cutting-edge technology Olympus fungal detection instrument has broken the problem of onychomycosis for a long time, and has already cured tens of thousands of patients with onychomycosis in scientific research. This technology has caused dramatic response in the medical circles in Guangdong, South China and China!

It is reported that this latest international high-tech treatment project for onychomycosis "

1. Keep the environment clean and dry, prevent humidity, often open windows for ventilation, air convection, and reduce indoor humidity. At the same time, it is necessary to actively treat tinea pedis, tinea corporis, and jock itch, which is the best measure to prevent finger / toenail tinea. Do a good job of disinfection and isolation. In daily life, pay attention to the development of personal hygiene. Towels, slippers, washbasins and other personal hygiene products should be used by special persons, and disinfected regularly to avoid cross-use with family members. Try to avoid public bathhouses or bathhouses with poor sanitary conditions to avoid being infected.

2. Try to reduce the number of nails as much as possible, because in the process of manicure, you need to use a file to thin the real nail, and then paste it on the simulated nail. Therefore, young and beautiful women should consider whether they will cause damage to their nails when accepting the beautiful "simulation nails".

3. Early detection and early treatment of fungal infections. When white or dirty yellow dots or small pieces appear on the deck, the discoloration of the nails loses its original luster, and the surface should be sunken. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Because onychomycosis is contagious, it should be treated promptly to prevent transmission to family members. The Chinese medicine fumigation treatment method launched by Beijing Meidi Chinese Medicine Dermatology Hospital regulates human body functions from the body through Chinese medicine fumigation treatment. It is believed that not only onychomycosis will not return to other skin diseases but will also be well treated. ^[1]

1. Active treatment, active treatment of onset ringworm and athlete's foot is the key to prevent onychomycosis. Once infected with onychomycosis, you should treat onychomycosis and tinea pedis at the same time as onychomycosis. Onychomycosis takes a long time to treat and patients must be patient.

2, develop good hygiene habits, keep the whole family's feet clean, cool and dry. Do not wear impermeable shoes. Not barefoot on the carpet, bathroom floor. Do not share basins, towels, shoes, socks, nail clippers and other supplies with the sick family members.

3. Strengthen the resistance. Therefore, to prevent and treat onychomycosis, it is necessary to improve the resistance of nails. It is necessary to exercise your body and improve your physique, which can resist the attack of various diseases. Nutritional supplements are also necessary, of which protein is the first choice, a high-protein diet is necessary to maintain healthy nails, and egg yolk is a good source of protein. Oatmeal, stone fruits, seeds, cereals, and soy products are all rich in plant protein. Fruits and vegetables should account for 50% of the daily diet. At the same time, pay attention to avoid spicy food, alcohol, and eat light food.

4. Nail care, keep the normal length of fingernails, do not cut too short, and do not leave thorns. Do not use the same nail clipper to trim normal and abnormal nails. Regular disinfection of home environment and patient supplies.
