How Should I Treat Toenail Fungus?

Nail thickening is black and gray, or yellow and white spots appear, and tarnish is the main manifestation of ringworm diseases. Commonly known as onychomycosis, TCM is called goose claw wind, and it is now called onychomycosis. It is caused by a large group of microbial infections called pathogenic fungi. The folds show abnormal nail color and morphology. Onychomycosis is also called tinea unguium, onychomycosis. Is the most common disease of A, accounting for more than half of A disease. Fingernails can be affected, and toenails are more susceptible.

Fungal onychomycosis

Western Medicine Name: Fungal onychomycosis
Chinese Medicine Name: Fungal onychomycosis
English name: Fungal ringworm of the nails
Affiliated Department: Department of Physiology-Dermatology

Disease site: Nails
The main symptoms: Unevenness, metamorphosis
Main cause: Chemical stimulation
Contagious: Contagious
treatment method: Gray finger flat

According to a survey by the domestic dermatological prevention department, the number of patients with onychomycosis has doubled year by year. In 2007, the incidence of onychomycosis was only 5.3%. In 2008, the number of onychomycosis had exceeded 13.8%. According to statistics in 2010, the number of onychomycosis was as high as 53.6%, which means that one out of two people has onychomycosis. The incidence of onychomycosis has soared, which has seriously harmed the health of the Chinese people.

True candida

What are the causes of onychomycosis? When it comes to onychomycosis, everyone is sure to be familiar with it. In daily life and work, you often see this disease.

Is fingernail separation the onychomycosis? Many patients wrote to reflect the symptoms of separation of their nails, asking if they got onychomycosis, which treatment is more effective?

Professor Yuan Yuanxin here shows that nail separation and onychomycosis are two different diseases, but the two are not unrelated. What is nail separation? Nail separation is the separation of nails from the parental area of the nails to the free edge of the nails. In the end, all the nails fall off without any pain for the patient. If the parent material of the nail is normal, new nails can still grow, and there may be periodic nail removal, called nail peeling, or nail scar formation. This disease is caused by temporary dysfunction of nail matrix during acute inflammation or vesicular skin disease, such as severe multiple erythema, exfoliative dermatitis, bullous epidermal slackness, and diabetes. It can also occur after infection with febrile diseases. It can also be caused by congenital diseases and other factors. It may be caused by trauma crush or onychomycosis infection.

The causes of fungal onychomycosis are mainly divided into the following types, hoping to attract the attention of patients, but also prevent it!

Cold damage

Onychomycologist Zhou Yanxiong said that long-term work in cold environments can damage the nail matrix and deform the deck. The lighter ones have s-line and the severer nails completely fall off. Such as fighting feet, acute frostbite, frostbite can cause changes in nail structure. This is also a factor that causes onychomycosis, as these can be avoided, so we must try to avoid these in daily life, so as not to cause onychomycosis.

Burns

Burns are also a cause of onychomycosis. Mild burns can cause nail peeling, and severe burns can cause nail deformities, scar formation, and cracked nails.

3. Radioactive

Radiation can also cause onychomycosis: People who often work in a radiation environment are prone to onychomycosis. The most common manifestations are brittle nails and mediastinum. Later, the color of the deck becomes darker, slightly cloudy, and light brown halo. Nails fall off. Malignancy can be predicted when wart-like damage occurs in the nail bed.

4. Microwave irradiation

It can cause nail lumps, nail peeling, and other malnutrition on the deck. It may be caused by microwave-induced heat damage to the nail matrix. In severe cases, it can cause nails to fall off.

The average person sees that the shape, color, thickness, and smoothness of the fingernails or toenails are abnormal, and they are deemed to be "grey fingers / toenails", and the doctor continues to explain that the patient still cannot accept the fact that they are not "grey fingers / toenails". Here are five ways to identify if you have onychomycosis (onychomycosis symptoms):

1. Turbid nails and onychomycosis fungus invade the deck or nail bed. Due to the rapid proliferation of a large number of mycelia and spores, a large amount of horny matter accumulates on the nail bed. When viewed by naked eyes, the deck becomes cloudy and opaque. For gray finger (toe) nails.

2. The nails are thickened. After the fungus invades the deck or nail bed, the horny substances in the deck are highly proliferated by the fungus, and the accumulation of horny substances makes the deck thicker. The thickening of the deck also deepens the turbidity of the nail bed. Generally, it can be 1 to 3 times thicker than the normal deck.

3. The nail surface is uneven, because the horny matter accumulates on the deck or under the deck, and the deck is destroyed at the same time, making the surface of the deck rough, uneven, and tarnished. This unevenness is both vertical and horizontal. At the same time, it can be understood that the main lesions of disease A are below the deck.

4. The nail deck becomes brittle and fragile. Due to the fungus invading the deck and nail bed, the keratin but white is dissolved under the action of keratinase, forming fine keratin particles. The damaged deck lacks elasticity and toughness and becomes brittle. The powder is easy to fall off, loose and become broken.

5. Layered nails: The cuticles thickened by onychomycosis dry, become chipped, and become brittle. It is easy to fall off between the deck and the nail bed, making the nail surface that was originally bonded to the fingernails appear hollow, that is, The nail is divided into two layers, the surface layer is separated from the finger meat, and a thin layer of nail is separated and adhered to the finger meat.

Affect aesthetics

As the saying goes, "The hand is the second face of a person." The beauty of the hand directly affects a person's temperament. And the beauty of the hand is largely in the nails. The onychomycosis of the hand is indeed a hindrance to aesthetics, and the patient even feels embarrassed and even embarrassed by shaking hands, let alone other close and intimate actions.

Restrict work

The consequences of damaged nails are not limited to the viewing itself, but will affect or even endanger the work of the patient, especially some professions with high profile and strict hygiene requirements. Such as doctors and nurses, catering industry, silk weavers, public relations and other jobs.

Influence daily life

Nails are of great physiological significance to us. Humans are inseparable from the assistance of nails in the tasks of threading, writing, cooking, typing, knitting, and playing. Once you have onychomycosis, such work will be disrupted. Fingernails have a protective effect on the end of the hand. Once sick, the hand will be easily injured by collision. In addition, like scratching, it is troublesome without nails.

Produce abnormal psychological disorders

Onychomycosis patients, especially when long-term treatment is not effective, often have a sense of distress and frustration that cannot be rid of. Especially when certain aspects, such as work, marriage, and society, fail due to the effects of onychomycosis, the psychological impact on patients is greater than that of normal people, which often results in a sense of inferiority.

5. Many complications:

When onychomycosis is severe, it can cause pain and discomfort, and the internal nail muscles are exposed or suppressed by thickened nails. Once suffering from various trauma, the bacteria are prone to drive straight in, which can cause concurrent complications such as paronychia, nail bed inflammation, and finger pustular disease Disease, causing patients to develop serious symptoms such as erysipelas or cellulitis. Onychomycosis can invade deep tissues of the human body, cause infection of deep tissues and organs, and even endanger life. Lesbians suffering from onychomycosis can spread to the genitals, forming difficult-to-cure gynecological diseases such as fungal vaginitis and candida albicans vaginitis.

6. Become a source of human infection:

The fungus that causes onychomycosis is extremely stubborn, always waiting for the opportunity to spread pathogenic fungi to the outside world, and patients with onychomycosis can easily become the source of infection. Onychomycosis patients can infect fungi to other parts of the body with scratching, which can cause new ringworm disease, which can be transmitted to family and friends. Family and friends often become infected with onychomycosis because of changing shoes, touching hands and feet, and sharing daily necessities. Once infected, it is easy to form

Fungal onychomycosis fast-acting iontophoresis

Its unique "A + B two-way therapy", "immunological metabolism dredging system", "biologically activated molecular sustained release technology", and "nano-drug molecule introduction technology" four major technologies can address various symptoms of onychomycosis and fungal infection. Different types penetrate the nail bed to break through the barrier of the deck. Kill pathogenic fungi to completely cure onychomycosis.

A+B Fungal onychomycosis A + B two-way therapy

The medicine used is to repair and reorganize the DNA of the damaged cells of the nail bed skin, while the deck restoration particles contained in it continue to repair the diseased nails. The improved cell population produces powerful pathogenic fungal immune antibodies. Immune antibodies are formed, and the disease recovers.

Fungal onychomycosis immune metabolism dredge system

Repair and dredge the nail bed immune system, and promote the nail bed to automatically generate strong pathogenic fungal immune antibodies. This life-long immune antibody completely cuts off the replication of pathogenic fungi in the human body, establishes a green isolation barrier in the body, and continuously performs self-repair of immunity Promote the ecological balance of the nail bed, can effectively block the invasion of pathogenic fungi to the human body at any time, and prevent the regeneration of onychomycosis.

Fungal fungal onychomycosis bioactive molecular sustained release technology

The 24-hour long-lasting drug power continuously acts on the lesion, allowing the drug to quickly penetrate into the human blood, destroying the environment in which the viral gene fragment of the fungus survives, causing the viral gene fragment to die, truly treating both the symptoms and the symptoms, and completely preventing recurrence. The damaged deck is also undergoing rapid self-healing, with thorough treatment and faster results.

Fungal onychomycosis nanomedicine molecular introduction technology

Using NAM nanocrystal technology, the drug particles are converted into 400nm-sized nanomolecules, the drug molecules are extremely small, the penetration is strong, the treatment time is shortened, and the pathogenic fungi are eliminated in a short time.
