Write any nail disease-the cause, symptoms, treatments, and preventive modes of action.

Causes of Nail Fungus

Nail disease occurs when fungi enter the nail and start growing there. These fungi are usually present on our skin, but when they find a good environment, they cause infection there.

Having wounds on the nails or body

If the robber or anyone around him gets hurt or has a wound, the bacterium enters it and infects it.

A weak mother system

Weak immune system: People whose immune system is weak, such as cancer patients and diabetics, are more susceptible to fungal growth because they find a good environment that allows them to infect.

Sharing things

People who share personal items with others can also get infected with fungi, such as nail clippers, towels, socks, or shoes. Sharing them with someone else is very risky because fungi can easily spread from one person to another.

Aging

Nail disease also increases with age because blood circulation decreases with age and nails grow very slowly, which can lead to infection.

Symptoms of Nail Fungus

First, a layer of white and light yellow stains forms on the nails. Gradually, the nails start turning yellow and sometimes white spots also form on the nails.

1: The shape of the nails changes due to fungal infections and they become thick and hard, making it difficult to cut or bleed.

2: Nails become brittle and break with even the slightest pressure, sometimes even bleeding.

3: Due to fungal infection, the nail becomes crooked and does not grow in a straight line. The nail starts to become rough and grows unnaturally.

4: As the infection progresses, pain or swelling may occur, especially when wearing shoes or walking.

Treatment of Nail Fungus

Nail fungus treatment takes some time because nails grow slowly, and it can take months or even years for complete healing.

Antifungal nail polish

It is applied to the nail daily and a layer continues to form on the nail throughout the week. Then, once a week, the old layer is removed and a new layer is applied.

Antifungal cream

This cream is used to prevent the growth of fungi, but this method works only when the infection is mild. This cream only works when the nail is thin. If the nail is very thick, it does not work.

Permanent Nail Removal

If your nails are getting infected repeatedly, go to the doctor. Doctors destroy the nail bed so that the nail doesn't grow back

Laser therapy

Some people undergo laser therapy, which reaches under the nail and kills the fungus, but it is quite expensive and not available everywhere.

Terbinafine

These pills go directly into the bloodstream and reach under the nails to eliminate the fungus. It can take six to 12 weeks for the fungus to disappear.

Relate an experience of life (if applicable) or fact-informed article

A friend of mine named Usman was very fond of cricket. He used to play cricket during the day and when he finished playing cricket, he would go to his grandfather there. This was his daily routine, whether the tube well was running or not, but he would bathe in the standing water or wash his hands and feet. One day, he noticed that the color of his nails had changed, on the little finger of his foot. At first, he ignored it, thinking that it might have been injured while playing, but after a few months, his nails became even more yellow and thick.

When he tried to cut them, I myself was very fragile and broke easily. Seeing this, he contacted the doctor, thinking that maybe my nails had some disease. The doctor looked at his nails. He had not suffered any injury, but his nails had deteriorated. The doctor prescribed him some medicine that he had to take daily and a cream that he applied on his nails daily. While taking the medicine, It took a long time, and after about four or five months, his nails gradually started to become clean and yellow, but he learned that air treatment takes time, but it does heal.
