What are the home remedies for treating onychomycosis?

　　Many people are troubled by onychomycosis, and severe cases are accompanied by skin redness, swelling, pus accumulation, and tenderness. There are many prescriptions for treating onychomycosis, but most of them have unsatisfactory results. Today we will take a look at the folk remedies recommended by patients who have restored onychomycosis to health! You can try it.

　　My friend Lao Song has been suffering from onychomycosis for many years and has been seeking medical advice everywhere but with poor results. In June last year, I occasionally got a prescription. Soaking it in vinegar and garlic solution and applying it externally was very effective in treating onychomycosis. I thought this method was simple and easy to implement and I wanted to try it, so I told Lao Song. Lao Song tried it immediately. In just over 2 months, the onychomycosis was cured and has not recurred so far.

　　The specific method is as follows: Peel, wash and mash 4 to 5 cloves of garlic, add about 100 ml of high-quality mature vinegar, seal and soak for 2 hours before use. To use, soak the affected nail in the vinegar-garlic liquid for about 15 minutes, then soak the vinegar-garlic liquid with a cotton ball, apply it externally on the affected nail, wrap it with gauze and fix it with tape, 3 times a day. The vinegar-garlic liquid made once can be used continuously for one day and replaced with a new one the next day. Generally, treatment can be effective within 1 to 2 weeks. After healing, continue to use it for 1 week to consolidate the curative effect. In addition, you should always use a blade to scrape off the thickened part of the nail surface for better results.

　　Onychomycosis is caused by fungal infection. Because the nail is severely thickened, general low-penetration drugs cannot penetrate effectively, so the effect is not obvious. Soaking in vinegar-garlic liquid and applying externally has strong permeability and obvious curative effect. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which has antibacterial and bactericidal effects when used externally; garlic contains allicin, which has strong bactericidal and detoxifying effects. The combination of the two is very effective in treating onychomycosis.

　　Summary: If you are found to have onychomycosis, you must be alert to the disease, treat it in time, pay attention to cross-infection among family members, and do not treat yourself after infection.
