What should I do if the edge of my toenails is a little yellow?

If the edges of your toenails turn a little yellow, you should be alert to onychomycosis. Onychomycosis is a common nail disease caused by fungal infection. At this time, you should receive timely treatment. First of all, you should do a good job of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal treatment. You should pay attention to keeping it clean and pay attention to the course of treatment. You should avoid recurring attacks and avoid adverse effects on your health.

Nutritional supplements for patients with onychomycosis

① The amount of protein (including various single amino acids) used should be based on the product label. Amino acids are the components of nails, and using amino acids will allow them to be absorbed and utilized faster. ② Vitamin A or vitamin A emulsion: the dosage is 15000IU or 25000IU per day respectively. Without vitamin A, the body cannot utilize protein and the emulsion is absorbed and utilized more quickly. ③ Brewer's yeast: dosage is as indicated on the product label. Contains various essential nutrients and is rich in protein. ④ Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D: dosage as indicated on the product label. They are essential nutrients for nail growth.

Be careful to prevent onychomycosis from infecting others:

1. You should pay attention to washing your hands frequently, keeping your shoes and socks dry, and keeping your feet clean, cool and dry; do not wear non-breathable shoes to prevent fungal growth. You can put cotton balls containing formalin in your shoes to sterilize them before wearing them. 2. Onychomycosis is highly contagious, so whether you are traveling or have guests at home, you should avoid direct or indirect contact with friends and family and their belongings. Try to use your own slippers and washing supplies when bathing. Do not share basins, towels, nail clippers and other items with family members. 3. Try not to choose damp and dark places, do not walk barefoot on carpets or bathroom floors, try not to scratch the soles of your feet or between your toes if they itch, keep your nails at a normal length, do not cut them too short, and do not leave any thorns.

What is the reason why onychomycosis cannot be cured?

Experts say that the symptoms of onychomycosis generally include graying and thickening, yellowing and blackening, delamination and breaking, lack of luster of nails, and detachment of the nail plate and nail bed. Suffering from onychomycosis will seriously affect your image. It is important to adopt correct and effective onychomycosis treatment methods in a timely manner. At the same time, patients also need to have enough knowledge about onychomycosis. What is the reason why onychomycosis cannot be cured? There are two most common reasons for the recurrence of onychomycosis. On the one hand, if you still do not pay attention after being cured and share slippers and other items with others in public baths, the chance of being reinfected with onychomycosis will greatly increase. On the other hand, there is no consolidation treatment. Many people stop taking medication once they see that the original diseased nail has fallen off. However, they do not know that the dormant fungi in the diseased nail may not have been completely eliminated, which may induce the recurrence of onychomycosis. In addition, since our daily actions are inseparable from our hands and feet, nail injuries are also very common. If they are not properly disinfected, fungi can easily invade through the injured area, causing reinfection and onychomycosis. In addition, long-term malnutrition of the nails, or frequent irritation from chemicals such as paint and gasoline, can easily cause onychomycosis to recur.
