Onychomycosis is contagious

As a result of scratching, onychomycosis can spread the fungus to other parts of the body, causing new ringworm. Onychomycosis can also be contagious and cause onychomycosis and dermatophyte disease in family members or other people.

Onychomycosis can induce other diseases

Especially for lesbians, onychomycosis can be transmitted to cause gynecological diseases such as genital fungal infection and Candida albicans vaginitis. Onychomycosis is an invisible source of infection that often spreads pathogenic fungi to the outside world.

Onychomycosis causes psychological problems

Patients with onychomycosis, especially when long-term treatment is ineffective, often feel that they are plagued by the disease and cannot get rid of it. They often feel embarrassed and frustrated. Especially when certain aspects, such as work, marriage, life, and social life are affected and fail due to onychomycosis, the psychological blow to patients is greater than that of normal people, and they often develop inferiority complex.

Onychomycosis can limit job options

The hazards of onychomycosis may also limit the patient's job type, such as doctors, nurses, silk weavers, public relations workers, etc. Since onychomycosis affects appearance and often gives people a bad impression, jobs that require a high image, such as reception, flight attendant, model, etc., are often not accepted.

Treating onychomycosis

The prevention and treatment of onychomycosis and onychomycosis should first be to actively prevent and treat common tinea diseases. More attention should be paid when the nail is traumatized or malnourished.

Onychomycosis is one of the more difficult to treat dermatophytes. Relapse is often possible after clinical cure. In general, onychomycosis and onychomycosis are best treated with local therapy.

1. Apply 30% glacial acetic acid or 10% glacial acetic acid to the affected nails once a day for 3 to 6 months. The diseased nail should be scraped thinly before applying the medicine, so that the treatment will be better. When applying 30% glacial acetic acid, care should be taken to protect the skin around the nails.

Apply half of 2.6% salicylic acid, 12% lactic acid, 95% alcohol solution, 10% iodine tincture or half of 10% lactic acid to the diseased nail. Its usage, treatment and precautions are the same as above.

3. For medical nail removal, apply 40% urea ointment and then remove the diseased nail.

Alternatively, you can take 200 mg of Sporanox orally, twice a day, for 3 weeks. Take it for one week at the beginning of each month and then stop taking it. Take it for another week at the beginning of the second month and another week at the beginning of the third month. You can also take Levitra orally.

The above are some common methods for treating onychomycosis. Finally, I would like to remind you that if a family member has onychomycosis, you must pay attention to separating their cleaning products to avoid the harm of infection. At the same time, if you have already got onychomycosis, it is best to treat it in time so that you can stay away from the harm of the disease as soon as possible.
