Uncle suggested that you can observe it for a while, but you can try some antifungal products for external use. Healthy nails do not respond to antibacterial ingredients.

The shape of nails reflects the health of individuals.

Nail is a special structure derived from epidermis, which consists of deck, nail matrix, proximal nail fold, nail bed and subcutaneous tissue.

Besides protecting fingertips, regulating peripheral blood circulation and increasing the stability of hand movements, nails also have special aesthetic effects.

Nails account for about 50% of the dorsal side of the phalanx (toe). Although the proportion is small, it can reflect the personal health status, such as the growth speed, luster and color of nails, which may be a sign of some local or systemic diseases [1].

There may be the following reasons for nail discoloration and yellowing:

Malnutrition of nails and lack of trace elements lead to abnormal development and color of nails;

Contact with some colored substances, such as smoke oil fumigation caused by smoking, causes nails to be dyed yellow;

The color of the deck is abnormal due to the stimulation of cleaning agents or some chemicals;

The color change caused by onychomycosis infection, in addition to yellowing, will also have symptoms of deformation, thickening, brittleness and unevenness;

Some medical diseases, such as diabetes, lung disease and thyroid disease, can also lead to nail discoloration. For example, lung diseases will affect the blood circulation of the body, leading to ischemic changes, which will lead to discoloration of fingernails.

Pre-onychomycosis discoloration

If you are accompanied by tinea manus and pedis (beriberi, tinea manus), then the probability of onychomycosis infection is higher.

Of course, if the above pictures can't help you, you can go to the clinic for further fungal testing. If the test result is positive, it can be determined that it is a fungal infection.

It should be reminded that due to the influence of sample collection, personnel operation and other factors, there may be some errors in the fungal detection results.

For nail diseases caused by fungal infection, no matter what degree of infection, we should remember that "the best time to plant a tree is now", and timely and effective sterilization will not lead to serious development of the problem.

Compared with tinea pedis (beriberi), the sterilization of onychomycosis is more difficult.

In the process of sterilization, it is necessary to strengthen the repair of bad nails. Only after the bad nails that hinder the absorption of antibacterial components are repaired can the hidden fungi under the deck be removed more thoroughly.
