The area of ​​toenails is getting smaller and smaller

The general area of ​​the toenails will not change much, and the toenails will not get smaller. If they become smaller, it means that there is something abnormal with the toenails and it is necessary to check in time for diseases such as toe inflammation or paronychia. Therefore, it is recommended that patients should receive timely treatment. The following is an analysis of the factors that cause toenails to become smaller and smaller. It is recommended that you take a good look at it.

Under normal circumstances, toenails will become higher and higher than the toes, which means they will gradually grow larger, rather than gradually becoming smaller. If they become smaller, it definitely means there is a problem. If your toenails are getting smaller and smaller, it may be caused by onychomycosis, which is a fungal infection that can cause the gap between the toe and the nail to separate, causing the nail to become hollow. The fungal infection causes the nail to atrophy, deform, thicken or thin, and it seems that the overall size of the toenail is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, in this case, you must go to the hospital for a check-up in time to see if it is a fungal onychomycosis infection and actively receive treatment.

Toenails turn black for no apparent reason, what's going on?

1. Reasons for black toenails

1. If the toenails suffer from onychomycosis, the nails will turn black. Onychomycosis not only causes the nails to turn black, but also causes the nails to become thicker, and the space under the nails to become hollow with white powdery substances.

2. If you walk for too long, are too tired, or your toes are squeezed or collided, blood stasis will form under the toenails. These blood stasis will appear on the surface of the toenails, causing blackening.

3. Nail matrix nevus is also an important cause of black toenails and is also very common in life. The nail matrix nevus can easily develop into nail pigment tumor, and the presence of this tumor causes the toenails to turn black.

4. For some patients with respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, or diabetes, their toenails are likely to turn black, which is caused by the pathological factors of the disease.

2. How to solve the problem of black toenails

1. If toenails turn black due to illness, such as onychomycosis, onychomycosis, etc., the fungal infection of the nails should be eliminated first. Patients can take antifungal drugs, or apply some antifungal ointments and creams externally. For more stubborn onychomycosis, they can also undergo nail removal surgery to completely remove the blackened nails.

2. If the toes are bruised due to injury, causing the toenails to turn black, no treatment is required. Just pay attention to rest your feet and avoid injury to the toes, and the black toenails will heal on their own.

3. For the phenomenon of black toenails caused by some diseases, we should start with the cause. When the disease is treated reasonably, the symptoms of black toenails will naturally improve.

Black toenails may be caused by pathological reasons of the nails themselves, or by blood congestion under the nails, or by certain diseases in the body. These abnormal phenomena may cause black toenails. For this abnormal symptom, patients should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to restore the health and beauty of nails as soon as possible.
