Gray nails do not heal naturally and there is a risk of aggravation or contagion.
Gray nail is a disease of skin appendages caused by fungal infection, which is contagious and relatively difficult to treat because the fungus hides under the nail plate.
The treatment of gray nails is based on antifungal, and can be treated with topical medications such as amorolfine and povidone-iodine, or oral medications such as terbinafine hydrochloride tablets and itraconazole capsules, and oral and topical medications can be used at the same time to enhance the efficacy of the treatment. Consult a dermatologist before using the medication, and use the medication under the doctor’s guidance.
Patients with gray toenails should pay attention to avoid using other people’s nail clippers and slippers, etc. Patients with gray toenails on the feet are recommended to wear loose and soft shoes, and do not stand or walk all the time to avoid deformation of the nails.
