Hay stemians, all of me today will discuss about cantengan disease, surely some of you are very familiar with the disease, especially for those who work as farmers.
This disease arises because of a condition in which the nails grow abnormally so that it pierces the skin at the edge of the nail, then the nail will become infected with the entry of the tip of the nail skin.
This condition usually occurs because the use of shoes that are too small, resulting in excessive emphasis on the tip of the nail. It can also cut the nails too deeply so that when the nails grow instead of piercing the skin tissue.
It feels very painful, and is very disturbing if it is not dealt with immediately,
Even someone can put out rough words when stepped on his foot.
Besides that the cantengan also emits a distinctive aroma, which is not very fragrant.
This disease is not classified as a life-threatening condition, but what is feared is that if the sufferer experiences another illness such as Diabetes, it will be very difficult to cure, in other words the fear is the "complication".
How to treat this disease, use ice cubes as a means of local anesthesia, at least to minimize pain.
In connection with nails that enter the skin, then the first thing to do is to cut the nail straight, do not make the nails potentially enter again into the skin tissue.
You can also take medications to reduce pain like ibuprofen, PCT.
to prevent infection it's a good idea to apply antibiotic cream to your friend.
If it recurs, then the other way out is to take extraction (nail extraction) this method is very effective, but it must be done by professional staff.
