Friends, look what happened to my thumb. Is it some kind of disease? How to get back to normal? Please look at the picture below.

Onychomycosis, commonly known as "onychomycosis", refers to diseases caused by dermatophytes invading the deck or under nails. Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and non-dermatophytes. There are two common types of onychomycosis: ① fungal onychomycosis (superficial onychomycosis), which is limited to a nail surface or nail tip; ② Hyponychial mycosis can be divided into distal lateral type, proximal hypothyroidism type and pale white type. This type of lesion starts from both sides or distal ends of the nail, and then infection occurs under the deck.

Folk prescription:

Take 500 ml of Shanxi Taiyuan mature vinegar (the older the better), boil it in an iron pot, concentrate it to 150 ml, then rinse 50 g of Sophora flavescens and 20 g of Zanthoxylum bungeanum with water and soak it in concentrated vinegar for one week. The folk prescription for treating onychomycosis.

Matters needing attention in treating onychomycosis:

1. Before each application, the infected nail must be soaked in hot water, so that the drug can directly reach the affected area and speed up the efficacy.

2. During the treatment, avoid washing the affected area with cold water to keep it dry and clean.
