What method can be used to completely cure athlete's foot and onychomycosis?

Athlete's foot and onychomycosis are both caused by fungal infections, which have a great impact on human health. Especially when onychomycosis occurs, it will give people a worse overall impression and make people very distressed. In fact, athlete's foot and onychomycosis are not difficult to treat. The key lies in how to strengthen prevention after the cure. The main methods of treatment include oral medications and topical medications. In addition, it is also important to pay attention to improving the body's immunity in daily life.

1. Surgical nail removal:

Suitable for single nails. Under local anesthesia, the affected nail is removed. This method causes large wounds, bleeding, and is prone to infection. The operation generally causes more pain and is prone to recurrence of infection, so it is rarely used in clinical practice. Patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. are not suitable for surgical treatment.

2. Oral medication:

Suitable for multiple nails. For example, take 250 mg of terbinafine tablets orally daily for 6 to 12 weeks; take itraconazole 400 mg/day for 7 days and rest for 21 days as a course of treatment, and continue for 3 to 6 courses; take fluconazole 150 mg 1 to 2 times a week for more than 4 months. It can cure more than 80% of onychomycosis and onychomycosis. However, because this type of drug must reach the deck where the fungus is parasitic to exert its antibacterial effect, the dosage is large and the medication time is long, adverse drug reactions should be monitored regularly.

3. External therapy:

The treatment methods vary depending on the different medicines, mainly local application of medicines and packing and cutting treatments.

(1) Use a nail file (non-professionals should not use a razor blade to avoid bleeding and infection) to thin out irregular nails. The best time to do this is once every two days.

(2) Apply 30% glacial acetic acid or 10% glacial acetic acid to the affected nails once a day for more than 3 to 6 months. The effect will be better if the diseased nail is thinned before applying the medicine. Before applying nail polish, be sure to protect the skin around the nails with a mild ointment;

(3) Antifungal topical medications such as terbinafine tincture, amorolfine nail liniment, and ciclopirox nail liniment should be applied topically.
