Medicine treatment
The treatment method of gray nail is actually the main external medicine, gray nail treatment is no very good method, is that we usually use the external method, it is necessary to clarify such a concept to everyone. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do that with the help of your own personal computer.
We now have a lot of means of treatment for gray nails, but for patients with mild disease, we generally recommend local medication, even for patients with severe disease, we need to local medication plus systemic treatment combined treatment method, So you can say, the basic treatment of gray nails is local external medication.
Mainly includes topical antifungal preparations, antiseptic solutions, disinfectants, exfoliators, dyes, etc. We commonly use topical medications such as 30% glacial acetic acid topical coating or 10% glacial acetic acid immersion of the sick nails, once a day for more than 3 to 6 months, but due to the nature of these topical medicines have a weak acidic properties of the skin around the nails will have a certain corrosive effect on the skin. The skin around our nails will have certain corrosive effect and make the surrounding skin damaged, so we must pay attention to protect the surrounding skin when applying. However, due to the dense and tough structure of the nail, most of the topical medications are difficult to penetrate and the sterilization effect is not good.
Currently, 5% amorolfine nail coating is often used in the clinic, but it needs to be combined with oral medication. It is a broad-spectrum antifungal drug, on the skin ringworm and yeast have a certain killing effect, we can so understand, it is a kind of nail polish that can be antibacterial, and the formation of a protective film can stay on our nails for a very long time, compared to the previous topical medicines, the penetration of this is more strengthened, because it is the formation of a protective film will slowly penetrate into our nails, it is now relatively The most important thing to remember is that it's a good idea to get the best out of it.
Overall, the external drug treatment of nail fungal disease is the basic means, but the course of treatment is long, generally only applies to the early gray nail , but the gray nail occurs particularly rapid, generally we found that have reached the mid-stage, and at this time and then apply the method of the external application can only play a supporting role, so we have based on the clinical experience of the gray nail
This is the first time that the external application of drugs to treat the nail fungal disease. We have found that the occurrence of the situation, generally we are rarely applied alone external medicine, systemic treatment is still the first choice of treatment.
We commonly used topical medications are 30% glacial acetic acid external coating (pay attention to the protection of the skin around the nail) or 10% glacial acetic acid immersion of diseased nails, once a day, for more than 3~6 months; other commonly used topical medications are cyclopiazonic acid nail coating, salicylic acid, urea ointment, amorphophallus powder, etc., although this method of treatment is long, But every day in accordance with the standardized method of medication, the possibility of recurrence after the cure is very low.
¤ systematic treatmentsystematic treatment is oral medication, is for the whole body of the antimicrobial treatment, the reason why we get gray fingernails, or because of our body's antimicrobial capacity is insufficient, or that the whole body has been infested by the fungus, your nails are just a symptom of the body has been infested by the fungus, so oral antimicrobial medication is the main treatment for us. The main method of treatment for gray fingernails is oral antimicrobial therapy.
And gray nails when found, our splint involvement area has reached more than 50%, how to calculate the area of deck involvement, not we can see with the naked eye, the deck, including the leakage of the nail plate and not leakage of the nail plate, and there are decks deep in the mother of the nail , when we found that the exposed deck of the occurrence of gray nails, in fact, the mother of the nail already infected by nail fungus.
So the area of gray nail involvement that we see with our eyes is not the real area of involvement. When we find that gray nails have reached a state of serious illness, our nails will become very thick, and the general topical medication can not penetrate, so this time we need to take medication orally.
Oral medication can systematically kill the fungus, and oral medication antimicrobials can be directly from the body to the nail matrix, basically from the root of the elimination of the fungus, the efficiency of this system of treatment is relatively high, basically three months to be able to see the effect, but because there are many people, or to feel that the course of treatment is long, Clinically, we generally use the combination of methods of treatment from the The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the fungus, and it's a complicated situation, the fungus is not the same, the invasion of the location, the depth of the different, the effect of various treatment methods there is a great deal of difference.
Therefore, more and more doctors are using combination therapy, such as topical drugs combined with oral drugs, oral drugs combined with nail extraction. Appropriate combination therapy can improve efficacy and shorten the course of treatment. Oral new antifungal drugs, such as terbinafine, itraconazole and fluconazole, etc., the cure rate can reach 70% ~ 80%, commonly used therapy for daily oral terbinafine tablets 250mg, 6 ~ 12 weeks; or itraconazole 400mg, 7 days in a row, rest for 21 days for a course of treatment, continued for 3 ~ 4 courses, according to this method, basically will not recur.
¤ Surgical treatmentRegardless of which surgical method, basically the purpose is to remove the diseased nails, so that we can grow new nails again, this is a more direct and dry method, but the repair time is longer, and the post-surgical care is more complicated, but basically eradicated, the possibility of recurrence is relatively low, and it is the method that is now more recommended.
1. Chemical nail extraction with sealing package nail repair, we usually apply keratolytic exfoliative drugs on the diseased nail, such as 0% ~ 40% of the urea ointment, and then slowly peel off the nail plate. Subsequently with a non-penetrating film, closed wrapping of the sick nail, play a role in promoting drug absorption, to prevent drug evaporation, to avoid contamination.
2. New treatment means such as laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, are through the heat and other energy to kill the fungus in the nail, so as to achieve the role of the treatment of gray nails.
Currently, surgical nail extraction is no longer used alone in clinical practice. Partial nail avulsion can be used as an adjunct to oral medication to treat refractory nail fungal disease.
How to prevent gray nails?1. Awareness of prevention: Actively preventing and treating common ringworm and related medical diseases, strengthening the awareness of the treatment of tinea pedis, nail dystrophy, nail trauma and systemic diseases (such as diabetes), etc.
Actively preventing and treating common ringworm and related medical diseases. 2. Pay attention to personal hygiene: We have to wear comfortable loose shoes, but also to wash feet, in fact, the fungus is mainly in the feet of the presence of a lot of, we usually say that foot fungus is caused by the fungus, the fungus is usually occurring in the wet closed place, so we must wear comfortable shoes, it is important to be sure to be diligent in washing feet. 3. Improve the immune system: The main reason for the occurrence of nail fungus disease is still our immune system is too low, so usually we have to eat more vegetables and fruits, adhere to the exercise, to improve the physical condition. Finally, I say one more thing, gray nail treatment course is relatively long, even if we do surgical treatment of gray nails our repair time is relatively long, so we must set up to adhere to the faith, if it is with the local topical treatment, must adhere to the daily standardized medication, systematic treatment, and remember to take the medicine every day. Also, we must maintain an optimistic mindset, gray nails is not a shameful disease, good optimistic mindset can accelerate our treatment, as long as we adhere to, we will be able to cure.
