Mr. Lin from Putian visited Quanzhou ** Disease Prevention and Control Hospital for "nail thickening with defects for 5 years", and had many fungal microscopic examinations and fungal cultures in local hospitals before the visit, all of which were negative, and relevant examinations were also done, saying that nail fungus is not considered at present, and the cause cannot be found. Therefore, I came to Quanzhou ** Disease Prevention and Control Hospital for help, and after the visit, I also gave a re-examination of a fungal microscopic examination, which showed negative, but the clinical manifestation was onychomycosis (nail fungus), and the test result was considered to be false negative, so after communication, in order to use the drug safely, the recommended scheme is as follows: glacial acetic acid external use + naftifen ketoconazole cream external use + fractional laser**. After 5 sessions, the patient expressed satisfactory results.
So why choose glacial acetic acid topical + naffenketoconazole cream topical + fractional laser for onychomycosis?
Glacial acetic acid is a colorless solution that is highly acidic and can be used for onychomycosis。Its main role is to soften and exfoliate infected nail tissue. In the place where glacial acetic acid is treated, new healthy nails will begin to grow.
Naffen ketoconazole cream is a commonly used antifungal cream, which can be used for a variety of fungal infections, including onychomycosis. The mechanism of action of this drug is to inhibit the growth of fungal cells and stop their aggression on human tissues.
Fractional laserBy activating the pulses, tiny areas of heat energy are created to break down the fungal cell wall, thereby killing or destroying the fungus. During the procedure, no anesthetic is required, and the irritation is usually minimal, with most patients reporting that it feels like a gentle tap on the fingernail.
*What are the precautions for the process?
In the process of onychomycosis, in addition to the topical use of drugs such as glacial acetic acid and naffeneketoconazole cream, the following things need to be paid attention to to improve the effect:
Maintain good personal hygiene: Keep your nails clean and tidy and avoid soaking in water for long periods of time.
Avoid wearing shoes that don't fit: Make sure the shoes are breathable enough to keep your feet comfortable and dry, and avoid wearing narrow or tight shoes to prevent localized pressure and friction.
Change clean socks: Change clean cotton socks every day to keep your feet dry. If possible, wash your socks every night and let them dry in the sun to kill any remaining fungus.
Prevent transmission to family members or friends: Do not share personal items such as shoes, socks, and towels with others, and pay attention to the cleanliness of common areas of the home (such as bathrooms, kitchens) to avoid spreading the fungus to others.
Boost your body's immunity: Maintain a healthy lifestyle such as getting enough sleep, exercising moderately, and eating a balanced diet, which helps to boost immunity and thus better fight pathogens.
