Of course, having enough patience and professional treatment is the only way to treat onychomycosis. You should know that the metabolic rate of human toenails is completely changed in 300 days, and that of fingernails is 100 days. So, after a month of treatment, I can only say, I have to hold on!
Of course, the so-called onychomycosis, using bright nails quickly, then your onychomycosis is basically impossible to cure.
Get to the point, to understand the consequences of onychomycosis without timely treatment, we must first understand the causes of onychomycosis. Generally, when going to the hospital to see onychomycosis, the first thing to do is to check fungi. If the fungus is positive, it must be onychomycosis.
The fastest way to treat onychomycosis is surgery. But it's too bloody and very painful. Nail pulling, one of the top ten tortures in Qing dynasty ... I don't recommend you to try. Especially toenails, wearing shoes during the long recovery period is a huge problem.
Followed by external application and oral administration. Oral drugs must be taken for a certain course of treatment, because there are side effects, so you must go to the hospital regularly for examination; For external use, I suggest going to a specialized dermatological hospital and giving it to a doctor. Running to the hospital for a long time requires some perseverance and must be adhered to.
What happens if onychomycosis is allowed to grow? Onychomycosis, one infects two. In the worst case, all your nails will be infected, then abscess and fall off ... This painting is so beautiful that I can't imagine it. Moreover, the fungus of onychomycosis not only spreads between nails, but also spreads to the skin of the whole body, and of course it may also spread to relatives and friends. Therefore, I suggest you treat onychomycosis as soon as possible.
The so-called ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain is certain. Inflammation can also cause systemic diseases. In severe cases, erysipelas, cellulitis and other diseases with serious systemic symptoms, such as deep tissue and organ infection, may even be life-threatening.
These are all physical diseases. In society, onychomycosis patients can't take part in many jobs. Medical staff, chefs, service industry, catering industry, etc ... This means that you will lose a lot of social functions, which may lead to mental illness due to inferiority.
The so-called butterfly effect is actually the best one used in this answer. It's hard to imagine the serious consequences of a small onychomycosis. If you are unfortunately infected, you must be isolated in time and treated regularly.
abstract
Onychomycosis (onychomycosis) is a pathological change caused by dermatophytes invading the deck, and it is a fungal disease that occurs under the nails. Fungal infection leads to nail structure change, color change and mutual infection, which leads to nail deformation, thickening, easy falling off and separation, and often leads to multiple nails being infected.
Etiology of onychomycosis: 1. Fungal onychomycosis is generally caused by fungal infection. At present, 60%-90% of onychomycosis patients are caused by dermatophytes, and the cure rate of patients caused by dermatophytes can reach 90%.
2. Infection At present, it is believed that the pathogenesis of onychomycosis is generally contagious, and patients are prone to get sick due to nail trauma and low immunity.
3. The high blood sugar level in the body and the high sugar content in the skin and nails are also conducive to the growth of fungi. People with high blood sugar are prone to "stroke" and relapse and reinfection.
4. It has also been found that the high incidence rate in Guangdong may be related to high humidity, work stress and mental stress leading to immune dysfunction.
Who is prone to onychomycosis 1 and does not pay attention to personal hygiene;
2. Long-term direct contact with water or chemicals;
3. Malnourished people;
4. Nail trauma or impact may cause fungi to invade the gap;
5. Frequent contact with patients with onychomycosis;
6, tinea manuum, Rhizoma Drynariae, eczema, lichen planus, psoriasis and other skin diseases can be accompanied by onychomycosis.
Harm 1, affect appearance: As the saying goes, "the hand is a person's second face". The beauty of hands directly affects a person's temperament. And the beauty of the hand is mostly in the nails. It's really unsightly to have onychomycosis on your hands, and patients are embarrassed to shake hands with others.
2. Restrict work: The consequences of nail injury are not limited to viewing itself, but also involve and even endanger patients' work, especially some occupations with high publicity and strict hygiene requirements. Such as doctors and nurses, catering industry, silk textile workers, public relations and so on.
3, affecting daily life: human beings engaged in threading, writing, cooking, typing, knitting, playing and other work, are inseparable from the assistance of nails. Once you get onychomycosis, this kind of work will be disturbed. Nail growth at the end of the hand has a protective effect. Once you get sick, your hands are easily injured by collision.
4. Abnormal psychological disorder: onychomycosis patients, especially when long-term treatment is ineffective, often feel embarrassed and depressed. Especially when work, marriage and social interaction fail due to the influence of onychomycosis, it has a greater psychological impact on patients and often produces inferiority complex.
5, many complications: onychomycosis can cause pain and discomfort, easily lead to paronychia, onychomycosis, finger pyoderma and other complications, severe cases can occur erysipelas or cellulitis and other deep tissue and organ infections, accompanied by serious systemic symptoms, and even life-threatening. Female compatriots suffering from onychomycosis can spread to the genitals, forming gynecological diseases such as fungal vaginitis and candida albicans vaginitis, which are difficult to cure. 6, become the source of human infection: onychomycosis patients can easily become the source of infection of mycosis. Patients can infect other parts of the body by scratching, resulting in new tinea diseases, and even severe cases can be transmitted to family and friends. Relatives and friends are often infected by changing shoes, touching hands and feet and using daily necessities. Once infected, it is easy to form serious skin diseases such as tinea manus, tinea corporis, tinea cruris and erysipelas.
Western medicine treatment of onychomycosis: 1, oral medicine: This method of treating onychomycosis is suitable for patients with multiple fingernails at the same time. This method has been used in clinic for a long time, with definite curative effect and convenient use. However, because this kind of drugs can only play an antibacterial role when they reach the deck where fungi live, they have large dosage, long time and great side effects, and are easy to relapse after stopping taking drugs, so they are not suitable for routine treatment of onychomycosis.
2, surgical nail removal: suitable for a single onychomycosis, under local anesthesia, remove the affected nail. This method of treating onychomycosis is characterized by big trauma, much bleeding and easy infection. After the operation, you will generally feel more pain, and it is easy to reinfect and relapse. Because of "treating the symptoms but not the root cause", it is rarely used in clinic. Moreover, patients with heart disease, hypertension and diabetes are not suitable for surgical treatment.
3, external treatment: external treatment is relatively safe, generally painless, no side effects, is the first choice for the treatment of onychomycosis. According to the different drugs, soaking, local application and package cutting are all common methods to treat onychomycosis.
Under what circumstances is onychomycosis most likely to recur? Generally speaking, the factors that promote reinfection are as follows:
1. infection: onychomycosis is cured, but tinea of hands and feet is not cured at the same time, which leads to finger (toe) reinfection, which is an important factor causing onychomycosis recurrence.
2, consolidation: some patients, when the nails (toes) almost completely return to normal shape, that is, that is, completely cured, so stop taking drugs. If they don't consolidate drugs for a while, they will relapse.
3, nail malnutrition: due to other diseases and other reasons, nail malnutrition, so that the deck's own defense against pathogenic fungi decreased, gray finger (toe) nail recurrence.
4. Trauma: Re-trauma causes pathogenic fungi to invade the deck and cause recurrence, which is generally rare.
5. Chemical stimulation: Long-term exposure to gasoline, paint, detergent and strong alkaline soap changes the pH value and defense ability of normal skin deck surface, leading to recurrence.
How to prevent the occurrence and spread of onychomycosis? Taking active and effective preventive measures in life is an effective way to prevent the occurrence and spread of onychomycosis.
1, good living habits, washing feet frequently, changing clothes frequently, washing hands with tap water, and keeping shoes and socks dry.
2. Don't mix daily necessities (footbath, foot towel, slippers).
3. Protect toenails from damage: don't dig hard objects with nails, correct children's bad habit of biting nails, don't scratch unclean places, and wear rubber gloves when contacting strong acid and alkali.
4, shoes should be loose, wear high heels for a long time, strengthen physical exercise, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and improve anti-fungal ability.
5. People who are in close contact with patients with fungal diseases should take preventive measures.
A large number of fungi are attached to pets' fur, which is the source of diseases and infections. We should take precautions.
Simply put, the appearance of onychomycosis will lead to paronychia, onychomycosis and pyoderma of fingers. There are many complications and great harm of onychomycosis, which need timely treatment. Onychomycosis, also known as onychomycosis, is a kind of onychomycosis. Simply put, onychomycosis is a fungal infection of toenails or fingernails, which may involve any component of the nail unit, including matrix, bed or plate. Onychomycosis can cause pain, discomfort and damage to nails and their surrounding tissues, and may cause serious physical and occupational restrictions and reduce the quality of life.
Patients with onychomycosis may have the following symptoms: at first, the appearance of nails began to change, but there were no physical symptoms; With the development of the disease, patients can't stand, walk and exercise normally, and their toenails are abnormal, painful and uncomfortable, and their toes lose dexterity, which leads to patients' loss of self-confidence and social behavior disorder.
There are five main subtypes of onychomycosis:
Distal onychomycosis, pale white onychomycosis, proximal onychomycosis, onychomycosis, candida onychomycosis. Patients may have a combination of these subtypes. Total malnutrition onychomycosis refers to the highest level of any subtype.
The causes of onychomycosis include: AIDS: AIDS makes people's immunity decline. Compared with healthy people, AIDS patients are more likely to be infected by fungi, thus suffering from onychomycosis. AIDS is related to the increase of the severity and incidence of onychomycosis. The lesion is not obvious, and it needs more active management than healthy people. Compared with patients who are not infected with HIV, patients infected with HIV are more likely to suffer from onychomycosis.
Diabetes: Diabetic foot may lead to serious complications related to onychomycosis. Peripheral neuropathy and sensory loss in diabetic patients may lead to an increase in painless trauma. The growth, colonization, implantation and vascular insufficiency of fungi may make onychomycosis more serious and may lead to serious sequelae.
Old age: onychomycosis of the elderly is caused by diseases that hinder foot care (such as visual impairment and arthritis). Nail lesions are more common in the elderly, usually involving fingernails and toenails. The possibility of drug interaction is more obvious and must be solved before oral treatment begins.
The drugs that can be used for treatment are terbinafine, itraconazole, fluconazole and posaconazole. Non-drug methods include laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, mechanical, chemical or surgical nail avulsion, chemical removal with 40-50% urea compound, etc.
For the understanding of onychomycosis, people often only care about the ugly image brought by this disease, but patients are not familiar with other knowledge. So, what diseases are easily caused by onychomycosis? Under normal circumstances, onychomycosis can also cause digestive tract reactions, such as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain and so on. The appearance of onychomycosis can lead to paronychia, onychomycosis and pyoderma of fingers. There are many complications and great harm of onychomycosis, which need timely treatment. Patients with onychomycosis may have changes in blood test indexes such as thrombocytopenia around their nails, which may easily lead to severe onychomycosis.

This disease of onychomycosis patients can be accompanied by severe exfoliative dermatitis and frequent liver function damage, and exudative erythema can occur, and more serious renal insufficiency can occur.
Nails can be complicated with bacterial infection, and even cause pain and discomfort when onychomycosis is serious, and the muscles in the nail are exposed or the nail pressure is increased. Once all kinds of trauma occur, bacteria are easy to drive in, and patients are prone to systemic symptoms such as erysipelas or cellulitis. Onychomycosis can also be transmitted to family members or others by washing feet and other factors, so that more people suffer from onychomycosis.
For women, onychomycosis can infect gynecological diseases such as genital mycosis and candida albicans vaginitis.
In life, there are many bad habits that lead to onychomycosis, such as regular manicure and so on. Onychomycosis is highly contagious, so it is best for patients to take good care of the disease to avoid aggravation of infection.
Onychomycosis:
Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by dermatophyte, yeast and non-dermatophyte filamentous fungi (mold). Onychomycosis caused only by dermatophytes infecting the deck is called onychomycosis. Most toenail onychomycosis is directly transmitted by tinea pedis, while tinea manus may be transmitted by tinea manus or directly infected by scratching other parts of the body. Onychomycosis is commonly known as "onychomycosis", which is called chicken feet wind and oily onychomycosis in traditional Chinese medicine. Most of them are caused by the long-term spread of tinea manus and pedis, so that they are disgraceful.

There are many treatments for onychomycosis. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used safely and reliably. The biggest advantage of TCM therapy is that it has no side effects on the body. You can search Professor Niu's official website. Made of natural Chinese herbal medicines, it is mild and non-irritating. Based on the principle of sterilization and antivirus of traditional Chinese medicine, the drug directly acts on the affected part, and the drug effect directly penetrates into the body of the sick A, killing fungi, destroying the growth environment of fungi, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of fungi, and achieving the therapeutic effect. It can also effectively prevent the recurrence of the disease, prevent the fungi left by the disease from being transmitted to others, and achieve the goal of thorough treatment.
If onychomycosis is not treated in time, it will not only cause complications, but also affect the appearance. There are mainly the following points to note:
1. onychomycosis can cause pain and discomfort, and easily lead to complications such as paronychia, onychomycosis and pyoderma of fingers. In severe cases, erysipelas, cellulitis and other diseases with serious systemic symptoms, such as deep tissue and organ infection, may even be life-threatening. If a female friend has onychomycosis, it can spread to the genitals, forming intractable gynecological diseases, such as fungal vaginitis and candida albicans vaginitis.
2. It will affect daily life. For example, our daily work, such as threading needles, writing, cooking, typing, knitting and playing, can not be separated from the assistance of nails. If you get onychomycosis, this kind of work will be affected. Nail growth at the end of the hand is protective. If you get onychomycosis, your hand will be easily injured by collision, which will also affect some of your work.
3. it will affect the appearance. As the saying goes, "the hand is a person's second face". If you have onychomycosis on your hand, it will affect your appearance and you will feel ashamed and embarrassed when shaking hands with others.
So onychomycosis should be treated in time.
Because the root cause of onychomycosis is fungi infected in human nails and nail tissues, patients will not feel uncomfortable when suffering from onychomycosis, so they will not pay attention to this disease. The diseases caused by fungal infection of onychomycosis, as long as they are not cured and the source of fungi is not paid attention to, will spread to others everywhere and induce other incurable diseases.
1, causing ingrown toenails and paronychia. Dermatophyte (a fungus with approach angle protein), a pathogenic fungus of onychomycosis, constantly devours the keratin of nails, and the metabolic secretions secreted by fungi will make the nail-affected deck thicker. When the deck accumulates to a certain thickness, it will affect the growth direction of nails, cause onychomycosis, produce pain and pus, and seriously affect normal life and walking.
2, causing tinea capitis, tinea corporis and tinea cruris. Both onychomycosis and onychomycosis are skin diseases caused by fungal infection. Usually the fungi in onychomycosis transfer to the surrounding skin and develop into tinea manuum, tinea pedis and onychomycosis, and then tinea capitis and tinea corporis occur. Therefore, the root cause of these tinea diseases is the fungus on onychomycosis. Therefore, until onychomycosis is cured, tinea corporis and tinea capitis cannot be completely recovered.
3, cause erysipelas or cellulitis. If the fungus on onychomycosis is not treated for a long time, it will not only stay in the epidermis of the skin, but also directly invade the interior of the body, endangering all parts of the body, thus leading to erysipelas or cellulitis and other diseases, resulting in serious systemic symptoms.
4, causing gynecological diseases. The vast majority of women will suffer from vaginitis, and the most fundamental root cause is related to fungi on onychomycosis. Female vagina is an ideal environment for fungal reproduction, and it is home to a variety of flora. It is possible that the fungus on onychomycosis will transfer to vulva, and then form gynecological diseases, such as vaginitis and vulvitis.

Engaged in clinical, teaching and scientific research of Chinese medicine surgery for more than 20 years, he is good at treating various difficult skin diseases with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, especially eczema, urticaria, psoriasis, herpes zoster and skin pruritus.
If you have time, you'd better deal with it urgently. After all, it is a fungus, which is easy to infect other nails and may also infect other diseases! Especially women! Easily infected with gynecological diseases!
Wash tools separately from your family, especially the footbath!
But don't be too afraid, as long as you ensure personal hygiene at ordinary times, you won't be contagious!
If you have onychomycosis, you can infect them both. In recent years, onychomycosis has become more and more common and difficult to treat. So what kind of disease is onychomycosis?
Onychomycosis, also known as nail polish, is a fungal infection. Some people didn't know they had onychomycosis at first, and some people didn't care if they knew, so it became more and more serious later.
What are the hazards of not being treated in time? 1. Appearance. The most obvious is the appearance. There are many external manifestations of onychomycosis, such as yellow nails, cracked nails and irregular thickening and deformation of nails.
2. Gynecological diseases. Fungi on nails can easily cause gynecological diseases, and most patients with onychomycosis have gynecological diseases caused by fungal infection.
3. infection. "If you have onychomycosis, one person can infect both." If one person in the family has onychomycosis, it is likely to infect children or anyone in the family.
4. pain. There are often nails that inhibit the irregular growth of meat, causing nail growth and paronychia, causing abnormal pain and affecting life.
Treatment and prevention 1. I often hear the clerk say that guests have onychomycosis when they do pedicure, and they can be treated with secret recipes in pedicure shops. We can't completely deny their so-called "secret recipe", but we still suggest that you go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
The doctor may suggest removing onychomycosis. Please don't worry, nails will regenerate. After pulling out your nails, you should pay attention to avoid infection.
3. Be careful not to wear wet shoes, pay attention to personal hygiene, and don't wear other people's shoes or clothes, towels, etc.
4. If you find onychomycosis, you should treat it in time. Don't be afraid of medical treatment. Don't think that it won't hurt without symptoms.
Onychomycosis is a common nail disease in modern life, which is generally caused by yeast and dermatophytes infection. Generally speaking, as long as the formal treatment has achieved good results, onychomycosis often has the characteristics of recurrent attacks, which makes the majority of patients feel uncomfortable. What harm will onychomycosis bring if it is not treated in time?
First, the early stage of onychomycosis is mainly characterized by nail deformation, thickening, delamination and discoloration. Although it does not cause much trouble to the patient's activities, both hands and feet belong to one of human appearances, which will greatly damage the patient's appearance.
The second is to affect normal social activities. For some special industries, such as catering industry and medical industry, the health requirements for employees are very strict. At this time, the fungus contained in onychomycosis is likely to become a threshold, thus affecting the working status of these people.
Third, onychomycosis may develop into paronychia if it is not treated in time. It can also lead to recurrent tinea pedis, one of which is erosive tinea pedis, which is prone to bacterial diseases such as erysipelas.
Fourth, when onychomycosis develops to the later stage, it is very likely that nails will fall off. At this time, due to the expansion of the area, the infectivity of fungi has also become stronger. Patients have become a mobile source of infection, which is a great threat to personal and family health.
Onychomycosis is harmful, so we must put our minds right and cure the disease.
