onychomycosis

The most important thing is to understand your physical condition and take the right medicine

When I was in middle school, I noticed that my toenails were a little weird, but the family didn't say anything. Children, there are always many problems.

After entering high school, I stayed up late and walked a lot.

I woke up from 5:30 to 6:00 in the morning, and it took a long time to get home after class. At that time, there were not many MRTs, and they mostly relied on buses to transfer.

Wearing shoes that don't fit well, walking and rubbing constantly every day.

Feel the slight deformation of the nails due to squeezing, and the toes are wet and stuffy.

One day, I felt itchy toes. It turned out to be blisters caused by friction. At first, I didn't care. This is a common occurrence for me who often walks. As long as I prick it with a sterilized needle, it will not itch. Over time, blisters appear more and more frequently, and the skin on the soles of the feet thickens and peels due to friction.

Next, the nails of the thumb and little finger get thicker (especially the little finger).

But I let him go, and like many illnesses, when we don't see it as a threat, we're self-righteous and think "innocent." If the weather is humid, apply some prickly heat powder before going out to keep it dry.

Have to seriously inquire about everything about nails, probably know that it is onychomycosis.

Coexisting peacefully with onychomycosis, rotten from middle school to university, and even after graduation, I don’t want to care about it. I naively thought that in the future, I would work at home, so I wouldn’t have to walk every day and wear socks in my shoes.

It will take care of itself (and it won't!).

 Surprisingly, I really guessed it, and now I almost never go out to work, because it is free to accept cases. prophet!

handle it yourself

At a certain time, I bought a potion and a file to "self-medicate", but the effect was not good. Presumably thinning the thick nails a little periodically to allow the potion to seep in.

recognize reality

When I was 25 years old (2019), I suddenly transferred design nitpicks to myself. Whether it is the mouth, face, body, limbs, or even the private parts, do not let go.

 I used to be very afraid of dentists, and I was even more disheartened when I met a quack doctor a year or two ago. Fortunately, I met a good dentist later, and I dealt with it almost.

Perhaps realizing that you are no longer young? Or maybe it's really sober (admitting that my previous sobriety was just a slogan) and finally realizing that life shouldn't just focus on work.

Onychomycosis is still faster to go to the doctor, but I have too many small problems, so I can only come one by one, so I ranked the treatment of onychomycosis at the age of 26 (2020).

Nail Fungus Treatment

About March 2020, the doctor said that it was onychomycosis after a quick look. It is recommended to take oral medication. The course of treatment is about three to six months, or even longer (varies from person to person). Be patient.

Before that, the doctor asked me to have my blood drawn to check the liver, kidney and hematopoietic function, etc., and then prescribe medicine to me after confirming that there is no problem.

It went well without any problems. I started taking the medicine on March 3, 2020, one tablet a day. I also recorded the course of treatment in my book to ensure that I did not eat too much or too little.

Check back every once in a while to see how it works.

I also watched the nails gradually grow new normal nails and the thickness of the nails gradually decreased.

There were no side effects in the process of taking the medicine, which was the easiest of all my treatments.

Take the medicine until about the 89th day (June 1, 2020). Because the effect of the drug will continue to work, the follow-up visit is to take the ointment to help it get better faster. Afterwards, there were no other problems, and the course of treatment ended successfully.

I know that when I finally get rid of toenail fungus, I feel quite comfortable, and there will be no strange discomfort! There is also one less physical problem, and there is a sense of accomplishment.

follow-up

I'm quite lucky, and because I hardly have to go out to work, I rarely wear shoes all day long, so the effect of the treatment is better.

You ask if nail fungus would make me feel ashamed?

I don't think it's alright, because it's been with it for a long time, and its shape is not so scary. I don't think that having a physical problem does not mean that this person has a certain relationship with the cause of the disease, just like the venereal disease that everyone is afraid of, it may not be promiscuity, maybe the other party is just unfortunate enough to contact blood and get infected.

In fact, the boyfriend doesn't care about that, at most he cares about his nails, so he doesn't think so much.

The most important thing is to understand your physical condition, take the right medicine, and don't run away.

The above is only the impression of the treatment of onychomycosis (it seems that there are not many impressions haha).
