Nails that are too short can lead to bacterial infection

　　The yellower and thicker your toenails are, the more likely they are to have a fungal infection.

　　It shows that the toenails are thickened and bulged in a pile. The nail plate is no longer transparent. The yellow color covers the natural pink color of the nail bed itself, and the appearance looks rough and ugly.

　　This disease is very common in March and April, but with some details of life, you can avoid its occurrence. Zhao Jiangbo, chief physician of the Plastic Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that such nails should not be cut very short. Many activities in life can damage the soft tissue around the nails, such as washing, cooking, etc., and bacteria can also enter the subcutaneous area through the damaged areas to grow and reproduce, which can easily lead to bacterial infection over time. Especially for toenails, they will bend inward during the growth process. At this time, if the nails are cut into an arc shape or cut too short, the toenails will lurk inward and become embedded in the nail groove, causing repeated infections. Therefore, it is best to cut the toenails into square heads for prevention.

　　The fourth affiliated school of Harbin Medical University Hospital skin Wang Xiaochun, deputy chief physician of the department, also said that different fungi can cause different color changes, such as yellow, black, etc., which cover up the color of the nail bed. Fungal infections can also occur on fingernails. To prevent and treat such nails, first wash your hands or feet and wipe them clean. After cutting off the nails, apply 35% glacial acetic acid solution once a day for at least 3 months. Generally, it will be cured.
