Why Does the Toe Flesh Turn White?

The causes of white toenails may include poor local blood circulation, anemia, hypotension, fungal infections, and Raynaud's syndrome.

1. Poor distal circulation in the toenails leads to insufficient blood supply, resulting in a whitish appearance. Identify the causes of poor blood circulation and provide corresponding treatments to improve circulation and symptoms.

2. Anemia caused by various reasons generally manifests as white toenails, and patients often have pale skin all over their bodies. Treatment involves administering medications or foods to correct anemia while treating the underlying diseases causing anemia.

3. Hypotension caused by illness can also lead to insufficient blood supply to the toenails, resulting in a whitish appearance. Active fluid and blood replenishment, as well as treatment of related diseases, are required.

4. Fungal infections can cause white toenails, commonly known as onychomycosis. Antifungal medications such as Fluconazole, Ketoconazole, andItraconazole can be administered.

5. White toenails caused by Raynaud's syndrome can generally be alleviated through the use of certain medications. Commonly used clinical medications include Indomethacin, Hydrocortisone, and Sodium Salicylate.
