Nail fungus: Addax Laboratory, big winners according to ALLOPODO!

A common condition in city practice

Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a condition that is very often found in medical, paramedical or pharmacy practices. Unsightly, chronic, and sometimes bothersome in daily life, it requires rigorous diagnosis and regular monitoring .

Around 10% of adults are affected, with a higher incidence among the elderly. All healthcare professionals can play a key role in their identification and treatment: general practitioners, dermatologists, nurses, pharmacists, and chiropodists.

Better understanding onychomycosis

It is a fungal infection (fungi, yeast or mold) affecting the nail, usually a toenail.
Typical signs: thickened, yellowed, brittle, ridged, sometimes deformed nail .
The diagnosis is based on clinical observation , but should ideally be confirmed by a mycological sample to adapt the treatment.

Risk factors to know

Onychomycosis is caused by:

• Humid environments (swimming pools, steam rooms, closed shoes, etc.)

• Excessive sweating

• Diabetes, age, immunosuppression

• Microtraumas or poor hygiene

Preventing recurrences involves simple actions: good hygiene, alternating shoes, breathable socks, treatment of excessive perspiration.

Possible treatments

• Two main approaches depending on the nail damage:

  Local treatment
  In the form of varnish, pen or film-forming solution. Preferred for beginners or localized forms.
  It is often helpful to thin or file the nail to aid penetration.

  Oral treatment
  Prescribed in cases of more advanced, widespread or recurring mycosis.
  Requires medical assessment and monitoring, particularly liver monitoring.
