Can Nail Stripping Cure Itself?

Depending on the cause of the nail peeling disorder, some nail peeling disorders heal on their own and some do not. Nail exfoliation refers to the peeling off of nails from the nail bed, either partially or completely. 1. It can be self-healing: In some cases of mild onychomycosis, such as when the nail is separated from the flesh due to trauma, the patient can cut off the peeled off nail, and a new nail will grow and adhere to the nail bed, thus realizing self-healing. Avoid touching water or other dirty things during this period, otherwise it will induce nail infection and prolong the course of the disease. 2. It will not heal itself automatically: if the patient’s nails are peeled off due to psoriasis, fungal infection, etc., forming nail peeling disease, it will not heal itself in general, and it needs to be treated according to the cause of the disease. Such as psoriasis, can be given oral avitamin A and other retinoids, methotrexate and other immunosuppressive drugs. If it is a fungal infection, it can be treated with topical amorolfine application and oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole. If the patient suffers from nail peeling disease, it is best to consult a doctor in time for symptomatic treatment. The medication should be used according to the doctor’s prescription.
