Toenails turn yellow

As living standards get higher and higher, people pay more attention to health preservation. Many people find that their toenails are different from others and turn yellow, but they don't take it seriously. This leads to the occurrence of some diseases or even worsening of them. Ultimately, it is caused by people's lack of knowledge of health and weak awareness of disease prevention. Therefore, many experts suggest that early prevention is the most effective solution.

1. If your nails become thicker, yellower, and brittle, you should consider the possibility of onychomycosis!

Onychomycosis, commonly known as "onychomycosis". The disease usually starts with 1-2 nails (toenails), but in severe cases all nails (toenails) may be affected.

The diseased deck loses its luster, and over time the deck becomes thicker and deformed, becoming grayish white or dirty yellow. The nail plate becomes brittle and breaks off, sometimes separating from the nail bed.

In the past, diseased nails had to be removed, with methods such as surgical removal; after the diseased nail was removed, iodine was used to remove the fungus until a new nail grew out. Now, with the advent of a variety of new drugs, oral drugs for the treatment of onychomycosis have also achieved good results. Commonly used drugs include: Sporanox, Lamisil, Terbinafine, etc.)

2. Insufficient protein, calcium, sulfur, zinc and other elements or vitamins A, B and C in the diet. It may cause the nails to deform and become concave. (Supplement the above-mentioned missing vitamins)

3. Congenital (hereditary) iron-boned human body. (It is difficult to gain weight, but you may gain weight when you are older and have a better life)
