If there is white mud inside the toenails and the smell is particularly unpleasant, the most common cause of this situation is onychomycosis caused by fungal infection. At this time, you must receive timely and good treatment. There are many treatment methods. The most common one is packing treatment. Soak in warm water for about half an hour, then thin the thickened nails, apply ointment, and wrap them with plastic wrap once a day. Methods for treating onychomycosis 1. Topical therapy Topical therapy is safer, generally painless and has no side effects. It is the preferred treatment for onychomycosis. Depending on the different medications, soaking, topical application, and packing and scraping are all common methods for treating onychomycosis. 2. Surgical nail removal is suitable for single onychomycosis. The affected nail is removed under local anesthesia. This method of treating onychomycosis causes large wounds, bleeding, and is prone to infection. The operation generally causes more pain and is prone to recurrence of infection. Since it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, it is rarely used in clinical practice. Moreover, patients with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc. are not suitable for surgical treatment. 3. Oral medication: This method of treating onychomycosis is suitable for patients with multiple nails (toes) affected at the same time. This method has been used clinically for a long time, has certain efficacy, and is convenient. However, because this type of drug must reach the nail plate where the fungus is parasitic to exert its antibacterial effect, it requires a large dosage, a long use time, has side effects, and is prone to relapse after discontinuation of the drug, it is not suitable as a routine treatment for onychomycosis. Methods to cure onychomycosis: Folk remedy 1. Drug preparation: Take 500 ml of aged vinegar (the older the better), put it in an iron pot and boil it, concentrate it to 150 ml, then apply the concentrated vinegar with Pafuo Onychomycosis Water to the affected area. This is currently the fastest way to eradicate onychomycosis. Treatment method: Before applying the medicine, soak the gray nails (toenails) in hot water to soften them, and then use a blade to gently scrape off the diseased nails layer by layer. The more thoroughly the diseased nail is scraped, the more significant the treatment effect will be. The treatment should be carried out without bleeding or pain. Then use a sterilized cotton ball dipped in the liquid to soak the diseased nail for 5 to 10 minutes, then apply Pafuo Gray Nail Water. Do this once a day before going to bed. The medicine usually takes 5 to 7 days to take effect. Folk remedy 2. Drug preparation: Take 20 cloves of garlic, remove the skin, chop or mash them, and put them in a wide-mouthed glass bottle with a stopper. Add 150 ml of 10% acetic acid (vinegar can also be used instead), soak for one day, and then it can be used. Treatment method: Soak the diseased nail in warm water for 5 minutes to soften the nail, use scissors to cut off or scrape off the diseased nail that can be removed, and insert the diseased nail into garlic extract and soak it for 15 minutes. Take it 3 times a day and you will see results in a week. If not cured, another course of treatment can be given according to the above method. To save time, you can also apply garlic extract on the diseased nails with cotton swabs, soak or apply garlic extract. Sometimes the diseased nail may feel a little painful, but you should persevere. Garlic extract can be stored for a long time and used repeatedly. This method is also effective in treating tinea pedis (athlete's foot). |
