Empty nails can be caused by nail malnutrition, gray nails, and trauma, and can be treated by supplementing nutrients, taking medication, and cutting off the empty section of the nail.
1. Nail malnutrition: Nutritional deficiencies such as micronutrients and vitamins may cause nails to become empty, which can be treated by supplementing nutrients and cutting off the empty sections. It is recommended that patients first identify their own missing nutrients, and then supplement.
2. Gray nails: ringworm of the nail, commonly known as “gray nails”, is caused by superficial fungal infection of the nails, which can make the nails appear empty, thickening, yellow color and other phenomena, which need to be dealt with in a timely manner. It can be treated by topical application of amorolfine, itraconazole, terbinafine and other medications under the advice of a doctor.
3. Trauma: Nail trauma can also lead to empty nails, such as nail smashed, or pinched, etc. If this is the cause, you can wait for the nails to grow out and then cut off the empty part.
Patients if the nails are empty, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital for consultation, to identify the cause of the disease and under the correct guidance of the doctor for treatment, follow the doctor’s instructions for the use of medication, do not blindly use medication, so as not to cause discomfort, resulting in serious implications.
