How is onychomycosis transmitted? Women should be careful when getting their nails done

Everyone should know about onychomycosis, and it is the most contagious. It will not only affect daily life but also have an impact on health. Common routes of infection of onychomycosis include women's manicure, tinea pedis, and low immunity. Knowing this, we should take precautions.

(1) The main route of transmission of onychomycosis in women is through manicures, because some of the dyes and chemicals used in manicures will directly erode our nail tissue, which will cause the nails to deform and deteriorate and cause inflammation of the nail bed. Cutting and grinding nails during the manicure process is likely to damage the soft tissue of our skin. At this time, if the tools used are not strictly disinfected, it is easy to cause bacterial infection, thereby causing onychomycosis.

(2) Tinea pedis is also one of the main transmission routes of onychomycosis, because tinea pedis is caused by fungal infection, and the fungus species are the same as those of onychomycosis. Therefore, patients with tinea pedis are very likely to get onychomycosis, especially when there is an injury on the outside of the toenail of patients with tinea pedis. They must seek timely treatment and never scratch it with their hands, as this will easily lead to onychomycosis.

(3) Low immunity is another way of spreading onychomycosis. Patients with congenital immunodeficiency are particularly susceptible to mucocutaneous candida disease. The Candida albicans in this pathogen likes to invade the nail groove, nail bed and nail plate, thus causing onychomycosis.

Warm reminder: The infection speed of onychomycosis is alarmingly fast. If we want to prevent onychomycosis, we must know how onychomycosis is transmitted. Based on the above detailed summary for everyone, we all know that onychomycosis is a skin disease that is extremely detrimental to beauty, which brings certain impacts and pressures to the lives of onychomycosis patients.
