How to Treat the Symptoms of Gray Nail (Onychomycosis)

The treatment of gray nail symptoms mainly includes medication, surgical treatment, and laser therapy. Regarding medication, topical antifungal creams such as terbinafine and amorolfine can be used, along with oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole and fluconazole. Surgical treatment is suitable for severe cases, thickened nails, or cases where the nail has separated from the nail bed, and can be treated through nail avulsion or diseased nail removal. Laser therapy is a newly developed treatment method that uses laser irradiation to kill fungi without damaging normal tissue, showing promising results. In addition, patients should maintain personal hygiene, keep the feet dry, and wear breathable shoes and socks to reduce the risk of recurrence. The specific treatment method should be selected based on the individual condition and the doctor's recommendations.
