How to treat gray nail fungus

The treatment of onychomycosis (gray nail) mainly includes the following methods: 1. **Topical medications**: Application of antifungal agents such as terbinafine hydrochloride solution or amorolfine hydrochloride lacquer directly onto the affected nails. These medications have strong penetrability and are suitable for localized treatment of onychomycosis. 2. **Oral medications**: For cases involving multiple nails, oral antifungal drugs such as fluconazole capsules or itraconazole capsules may be prescribed to improve cure rates. However, it should be noted that oral therapy requires a long treatment course and monitoring for adverse drug reactions. 3. **Surgical treatment**: In specific cases, such as severe infection of a single nail, surgical nail removal may be considered. However, this method may cause bleeding or secondary infection and is not suitable for patients with heart disease, hypertension, or other systemic conditions. 4. **Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)**: Treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and soaking in herbal medicine may also provide certain therapeutic effects for onychomycosis. Treatment for onychomycosis should be selected according to the individual condition and conducted under the guidance of a physician. In addition, proper daily nail care and preventive measures are important to avoid recurrence.
