Onychomycosis, also known as onychomycosis, is a common fungal infectious skin disease, which is caused by dermatophytes invading the deck or nail tissue. There are generally no conscious symptoms. Clinically, the deck is grayish yellow and turbid, dull, thickened and damaged, fragile and easy to fall off, which may lead to paronychia and redness and heat pain. In severe cases, it may affect the fine movements and walking of fingers.

Onychomycosis often occurs in people with low immunity (such as the elderly, patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, people who use glucocorticoid or immunosuppressants for a long time) and people who live in high temperature and high humidity for a long time. The course of the disease is slow, stubborn and difficult to treat, and sometimes it can recur after cure. What should we do?

How to do onychomycosis recurrence? How to relieve symptoms?

Onychomycosis is one of the most stubborn and refractory dermatophytosis, and it is easy to recur. Once it happens, we should actively treat it in time, pay attention to daily hygiene habits, and pay more attention to nursing. The specific methods are mainly as follows:

1. Recurrent onychomycosis should be treated with adequate and regular antifungal drugs under the guidance of doctors and followed up regularly. If necessary, it can be combined with clearing the diseased nail and laser treatment.

2. Onychomycosis is contagious and can be spread by contact. If you have onychomycosis or have suffered from onychomycosis, you should use slippers, bath towels, bathtubs, bedding and other items carefully to avoid walking barefoot in public places such as swimming pools, saunas and gymnasiums. , so as not to aggravate or reinfect, leading to recurrence of the disease.

3. Pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene. Wash hands and feet frequently, change clothes and shoes frequently, and use chlorine-containing disinfectant to clean towels, socks, shoes and other personal items that may be contaminated by germs. At the same time, keep your skin dry and avoid wearing clothes, shoes and socks that are airtight, sweat-absorbent and too tight.

4. Avoid nail trauma. Minimize or not trim your nails, so as not to damage the soft tissue around your nails and reduce your local defense ability. Moreover, the nail tools used by many people also have certain health risks. In addition, too tight shoes and socks or high heels make the toes squeeze each other, which is easy to cause nail damage, aggravate the diseased nail, and lead to prolonged healing time of the diseased nail.

Therefore, patients with onychomycosis should be treated promptly and actively, and pay attention to maintaining good daily hygiene habits during or after treatment to prevent the recurrence of the disease. # Medical Union Media Super Group # # Breeze Project #
