Causes of yellow toenails

Yellowing of toenails may be caused by fungal infection. In daily life, we can use a knife to remove the yellow part on the toenails, and then use alcohol to disinfect the toenails, so as to deal with the yellowing of toenails. Yellowing of toenails mainly occurs in March and April. I hope everyone will pay attention to the cleanliness of toenails during this period.

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that yellowing and thickening of toenails is obviously a fungal infection. Different fungi can cause different color changes on toenails. It manifests as thickening of the toenail and a bulge in the shape of a pile. The nail plate is no longer transparent, and the yellow color covers the natural pink color of the nail bed itself, making the appearance rough and ugly.

This disease is very common in March and April, but some details in life can avoid its occurrence. Don't cut your nails too short. Many behaviors in life can damage the soft tissue around the nails, such as washing clothes, cooking, etc., and bacteria can enter the subcutaneous tissue through the damaged areas and grow and multiply, which can easily lead to bacterial infection over time. Especially for toenails, which will bend inward during the growth process. If the nails are cut into an arc shape or cut too short at this time, the toenails will sink inward and embed into the nail groove, inducing repeated infection. Therefore, it is best to cut the toenails into square heads to play a preventive role.

Different fungi can cause different color changes, such as yellow, black, etc., which cover the color of the nail bed. Fingernails can also develop fungal infections. To prevent and treat such nails, first wipe your hands or feet clean after washing them, trim the nails, and then apply 35% glacial acetic acid solution once a day for at least 3 months, and they will generally be cured.

First, cut off the yellow part completely. After cutting it off, use the small blade on the nail clippers to thin the surrounding nails. Then use a knife to remove the yellow flocs. This will expose the nail bed. Be gentle and don't break it, because there is a thick film outside the nail bed. Then comes the process of making the medicine. You mash the garlic and add white vinegar (or medical acetic acid) to create a viscous liquid that can be preserved for a long time. Apply the medicine on your toes, wrap them with gauze, and take it off after an hour and a half. If you persist for seven days, you will find that the nail bed has become smooth. If you persist for another week, it will be completely healed. Generally, your toenails will grow fully in about three months.

I hope everyone can pay attention to the reasons for yellowing toenails introduced above, so that we can control the development of the disease in time. If we want to treat the disease of yellow toenails in life, our main method is to soak our feet and pay more attention to the cleaning of toenails, so as to prevent toenail infection.
