Is onychomycosis really an infectious disease? In fact, onychomycosis is contagious, not only to oneself, but also to others. For an individual, if only one finger gets onychomycosis at first, but you don't pay much attention to it and the unsanitary habits are not changed in time, then bacteria and fungi will easily continue to infect other fingers, whether it is the next finger or one finger after another.
For others, if a family member suffers from onychomycosis and it is not cured, you and he * * * use a football, a towel and a pair of shoes, which is easy to get infected. However, this does not mean that onychomycosis is necessary as long as fungal infection occurs. This mainly depends on whether there are conditions for fungal reproduction, and the possibility of touching nails is relatively small.
If there is onychomycosis, should it be removed?
Many onychomycosis patients hope to be cured as soon as possible. They will choose the method of nail pulling first, and then think that their nails will grow better gradually. In fact, this is a mistake. The existence of nails has a great protective effect on the skin, and the method of pulling out nails has a higher recurrence probability and a more painful process. Fungi may not be completely eliminated, or they may adhere to the nail bed. Some people will manicure their own nails, which is not desirable. Due to unsanitary conditions and improper operation, it is easy to cause bacterial infection. Although nail removal can be a method, it is rarely used now. The wound is big and easy to be infected. You might as well try external methods, mainly local package cutting.
