Onychomycosis is easily contagious. If you use daily necessities of people with onychomycosis without paying attention, you are likely to be infected with this disease. Onychomycosis can be treated with medication, and external application of Chinese medicine is also very effective, but surgical nail removal is not recommended. 1. Various methods to treat onychomycosis (1) Surgical nail removal Under local anesthesia, the affected nail is removed. This method causes large wounds, bleeding, and is prone to infection. Generally, you will feel more pain after the operation. Since it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the results are usually not ideal and it is easy to get re-infected. Moreover, patients with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc. are not suitable for surgical treatment. (2) Oral medication Simply taking antifungal drugs such as griseofulvin has certain therapeutic effects and is convenient. However, because this type of drug must reach the deck where the fungus is parasitic to exert its antibacterial effect, and because its solubility in water is low and slow, and its absorption and metabolism are very fast, the dosage is large and the use time is long. In addition, oral medications have side effects and are prone to relapse after discontinuation of medication, so they are not suitable as a routine treatment for onychomycosis. (3) Topical therapy Generally, external therapy is recommended for the treatment of onychomycosis. Depending on the different medicines, there are mainly soaking, local application and packing and scraping methods. The treatment requires the removal of the diseased nail, so it is generally not as convenient as oral administration, but it is safe, painless and has no side effects. As long as the medicine is selected properly, the effect will be better. 2. How to avoid being infected with onychomycosis? 1. Do not borrow daily necessities from each other It won't happen if you don't exchange shoes with each other. Also, don't share daily necessities, such as slippers, foot basins, water, etc. You should wash your own daily necessities frequently with soap, and then expose them to the sun for a few hours. "Onychomycosis", scientifically known as onychomycosis, is a type of disease caused by skin fungi invading the fingernails and toenails. It often manifests as discoloration, thickening, accumulation of dirt, or destruction or loss of the nail plate. People often say: Asthma cannot be cured internally, and ringworm cannot be cured externally. It can be seen that onychomycosis is difficult to treat, but it is not incurable. Some people think that onychomycosis is an "incurable disease" because they have not chosen the best treatment method. As long as the onychomycosis is treated properly, it can be completely cured. 2. Be persistent in receiving treatment Many people hope that onychomycosis can be treated quickly and effectively in one go. it's out of the question. The speed of treating onychomycosis depends not only on whether the drugs and treatment methods used are appropriate, but also on the growth rate of the nails and the surrounding environment in which the nails are located. Generally speaking, if a benign surrounding environment can be provided for the treatment of onychomycosis from all aspects, onychomycosis can be cured more quickly. However, in real life, it is generally difficult for patients to greatly improve the environment. |
