What causes toenails to fall off and how to treat them

If toenails fall off due to onychomycosis, they must be treated promptly, because this disease is a fungal infection that will continuously erode the surrounding healthy cells and is also contagious. In addition, it may also be caused by lack of nutrition in the body.

① If the toenails fall off automatically, it may be suspected to be onychomycosis, which is commonly known as onychomycosis. The characteristic symptoms of patients with onychomycosis are that the nail plate becomes brittle and easy to break: the fungus invades the nail plate and nail bed, and under the action of keratinase, the keratin protein is dissolved to form tiny keratin particles. The keratin particles are powdery and easy to fall off, loose and become fragmented. The damaged nail plate lacks elasticity and toughness and becomes brittle.

If you find that onychomycosis is causing your toenails to fall off automatically, you should seek timely treatment.

1. General treatment: Avoid scratching skin lesions on other parts of the body with your hands. Keep your fingers and toes clean to prevent infection. Improve your diet and daily life, and pay attention to mental conditioning.

2. Actively treat associated ringworm.

3. Treatment with antifungal (Daktarin) preparations.

4. Surgical treatment: remove the diseased nail and apply topical antifungal medicine.

② If the toenails fall off automatically, it may be due to a lack of trace elements. The symptoms can be alleviated by improving diet, eating more fruits and vegetables, increasing vitamin intake, or taking oral multivitamin pills, Golden Partner, calcium gluconate oral solution and other conditioning.

③ If the toenails fall off automatically, it may be due to trauma. If you find that your symptoms are not very typical, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to let the doctor check your condition if you have time and see if you need to take appropriate measures to improve the symptoms, so as to avoid the symptoms continuing to develop and worsen, affecting your appearance and health.
