In fact, both men and women have the chance to suffer from Hong Kong's foot, especially the elderly, athletes, and people with foot wounds. Once the feet are infected with the fungus, common symptoms include red, itchy skin, small blisters, and shedding of skin flakes. For people with Athlete's foot, if the disease is not treated properly, the fungus may also affect the toenails and form gray toenails. Although Athlete's foot and onychomycosis are generally not harmful to health, if the nails and skin are damaged, followed by wound infection, it may develop into cellulitis and affect the appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, fungus fungus is as contagious as Hong Kong foot, and can be cross-transmitted through contact. Therefore, walking barefoot in public places, or sharing nail clippers, towels, slippers, etc. with others, there is a chance of infection. The home environment is also one of the main places for the spread of fungi. If a family member suffers from Hong Kong athlete's foot or onychomycosis, the fungus may adhere to shared objects, floors, etc., and thus spread the infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To prevent fungal infection, it is advisable to wear dry and breathable shoes. When the weather is sunny, try to avoid wearing shoes made of waterproof materials, keep your feet dry, and even bring an extra pair of shoes and socks for replacement; Chance of nail breakage. In addition, if women wear narrow or too tight high-heeled shoes, the pressure on the toenails will also damage them, making it easier for fungi to attach, causing "traumatic gray nails".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter what kind of shoes you wear, you should develop good habits, clean and replace shoes and socks regularly, and keep them hygienic; you should also pay attention to your toenails from time to time. Onychomycosis symptoms should seek medical attention as soon as possible to face up to the onychomycosis problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At present, gray onychomycosis is generally treated with topical ointment and oral antifungal drugs, but it may not be very effective for severe patients. Since oral drugs may affect liver function, chronic patients and those who take drugs for a long time should use them with caution. Laser treatment is a relatively new and safe method, combined with external application of antifungal drugs, the two-pronged approach is more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
