Is it okay to use iodophor for nail infections?

The effectiveness of povidone-iodine in the treatment of onychomycosis depends on the condition. If the symptoms of onychomycosis are mild, the application of povidone-iodine is feasible. However, if the symptoms of onychomycosis are more serious, the effect of applying iodophor alone is not good at this time, and the combination of medication and nail extraction treatment should be considered.
1. When the symptoms are mild: inguinitis is a bacterial infection, mainly treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. Povidone-iodine, as a commonly used topical disinfectant, is mainly used for disinfection of skin mucous membranes and surgical sites, and is useful for treating mild nail fungus infection.
2. When the symptoms are serious: for the serious infection of inguinitis, during the treatment with povidone-iodine, it is also necessary to use erythromycin ointment, fusidic acid cream and other medications according to the doctor’s instructions, and at the same time, if the inguinitis is caused by the abnormal direction of the growth of the nails, it is necessary to pull out nails to treat it, so the use of iodine-iodine povidone-iodine-iodine povidone-iodine povidone-iodine povidone-iodine is not very effective in such a case.
In order to avoid more serious consequences, it is important to seek immediate medical attention, go to a regular hospital for examination, do targeted treatment, and follow the doctor’s instructions, do not self-medication.
