Summer: The Secret Lies In The Foot.

It is very hot and humid in summer. It is very suitable for the growth of dermatitis. It is also a high season for beriberi.

Beriberi is a very common fungal infectious skin disease. Chinese medicine is called foot damp, while western medicine is called tinea pedis. It is also known as "athlete's foot".

According to statistics from authoritative departments, one of every two Chinese people is suffering from tinea pedis, and beriberi has become a dilemma for people.

Many people believe that beriberi is not a disease at all, nor do you need to see a doctor. As long as you use some medicine to smear it, the result is not only a little better, but a recurrent attack.

In fact, beriberi is caused by dermatitis (fungi or fungi).

Foot sweating, damp or shoes and socks are not ventilated can induce beriberi. Dermatitis is often pmitted through contaminated baths, swimming pool floors, bath towels, public slippers, foot washers and so on.

Tinea pedis can seriously affect the quality of life of the patient, not only can cause itching and pain, but also secondary to other parts of the infection.

If the treatment is not active, scratching is likely to cause fungal infections in other parts of the body, such as tinea manus, tinea corporis, tinea capitis, etc.

More serious, scratching can lead to local bacterial infection, which can develop lymphatic inflammation, cellulitis and erysipelas. Severe foot fungus infection is also closely related to diabetes, vascular diseases and other systemic diseases.

In addition, tinea pedis is contagious.

Fungi are ubiquitous in nature. They are very strong in life. They are not afraid of cold, fear of light or dryness. Even if they leave the human body for months or even years or more, they will not necessarily die.

A survey of patients with skin fungal infections and their family members found that 85.4% of the patients had the same pathogenic fungi as their family members.

This figure strongly proves that the possibility of spreading fungi among family members is very great, especially for children and elderly people with less resistance.

In life, it is better to form a habit of changing shoes at home, and put the shoes worn for a day in the ventilating place to dry.

If possible, prepare two pairs of shoes to wear the next day, and usually wear sweaty cotton socks.

After you wash your feet, you should wipe your feet dry or dry them, then wear socks or rest.

For those who sweat easily, feet can be kept dry at ordinary times. If you need to sit down for a long time, for example, by air or by train, you should suggest changing your slippers without affecting others.

If you have tinea pedis, you must not share slippers, towels and foot basins.

In addition, many people in the family suffer from tinea pedis and must be treated together.

If someone in the family is suffering from beriberi, fungi contaminated shoes can easily propagate fungi in a dark, ventilated shoe cabinet.

Moreover, the dandruff scattered in the shoe cabinet also contains many fungi.

Shoes that are originally very clean, if placed in such a shoe cabinet, may contaminate the dandruff and contaminated by nearby "dirty shoes". If they wear such shoes, they may suffer from beriberi or gray fingers.

Therefore, the shoe cabinet at home should be constantly ventilated and aired; if the shoe can not move, it should be regularly scrubbed with disinfectant or put into desiccant to remove moisture.

While cleaning shoes, do not forget to wipe the shoes with dry rag, and put some deodorant bags in the shoes with spices, tea leaves and bamboo charcoal to eliminate germs and odors.

To go to public bathrooms or natatorium or gymnasium, it is best to wear your own slippers. If you step on the floor with bare feet, you must wash and dry your feet before wearing shoes.

Now many people like to go to the foot massage room. If you don't pay attention, this is also one of the ways to spread tinea pedis.

Therefore, we should choose a regular and hygienic foot care hall. Before receiving the massage, ask the waiter to wash his hands; after going home, he must wash his feet again.

Tinea pedis is a chronic infection, and its growth is propagated in the stratum corneum.

It takes a long time to kill it.

To treat tinea pedis, we must insist on using drugs, but we should not use drugs in disorder.

Some people use skin relaxation and other kinds of ointment to treat tinea pedis.

Someone crushed Aspirin Tablets on the rotten toes, resulting in an ulcer, which did not heal for a long time.

There are many people in the skin formation of red itchy patches when topical dermatitis flat ointment is a misunderstanding. There is a lot of hormone components in dermatitis ointment, which is just the nutrient agent of fungi. So it will be more severe if it is in the condition of ringworm.

Medication should be based on the specific circumstances of the disease.

Tincture should not be used for ulceration, thickening of skin, and use of ointment for cleft.

When the water is broken, it should go to the hospital, and the doctor should take proper treatment according to the specific circumstances.

There is acute inflammation in tinea pedis secondary infection.

We should not treat secondary infection according to the treatment of tinea pedis.

If there is redness and swelling, topical use of boric acid or clam can reduce inflammation and detumescence, and when necessary, use antibiotics as a whole, and rest appropriately according to the doctor's advice.
