Is The Legend Of "Hong Kong Foot" Of Southerners Brought By British Soldiers?

The incidence of "beriberi" in China is about 10%, while the southerners have more beriberi than the northerners.

For a long time, do not pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the feet skin. For example, if you wear shoes for a long time, you should not wash your socks regularly. If you do not wash your feet after washing your feet, or your feet often touch the sewage and do not dry in time, they will become the cause of "beriberi".

"Beriberi" occurs mostly in hot and humid summer, but because the south is relatively hot and humid all the year round, southerners can get sick all the year round. That is to say, the hot and humid environment is suitable for the growth and propagation of fungi. Therefore, the prevention of beriberi should also start from this point.

Huang said, first of all, wash feet frequently, wash shoes and socks frequently, and keep the ventilation and dry in the shoes. In the summer, shoes should be provided with a few pairs and wear in turn. When they are not wearing shoes, they should be irradiated with sunlight, and their slippers should also be worn regularly.

After you wash your feet, you must remember to dry your feet, especially feet and feet. You must wipe them with clean dry towels or paper towels. It's easy to ignore this summer in order to be cool.

Smeared with ointment will only get worse and worse.

Different types of "beriberi" can not be treated with the same drug. Although all kinds of "beriberi" symptoms are very similar, they are wrong to use the commonly used "beriberi" topical smear.

Director Huang said that there is a big misunderstanding in the treatment of beriberi. Many people simply believe that beriberi is an inflammation of bacterial infection, so they take some of their own anti inflammatory and disinfection measures to treat beriberi.

In fact, "beriberi" is not a difficult disease. The problem is that many people think that beriberi is a minor ailment and has not been seriously treated. When itching is not timely, only use some antifungal drugs to treat it. Once the symptoms are relieved, it will not persist. This fungus is not killed, and it will revive when conditions are right.

Dermatitis is the nutrient of fungi.

There are many people who are very tickled because they like topical dermatitis ointment or other compound ointment containing antifungal drugs on skin itching patches. Although the allergic itching caused by fungi is relieved, there is a large amount of hormone in dermatitis equal ointment, which is just the nutrient agent of fungi, and it also fuels the tinea pedis. It is also a case of an ulcer and long term pain that has been crushed by crushing the Aspirin Tablets on the toes.

Therefore, director Huang Weiqiang suggested that one should follow the doctor's advice and suit the remedy to the case. Do not mess with yourself. Two, when applying ointment, it will not be too thick, only a thin layer can be used. Usually it will be effective in a week. Three, remember to consolidate the medication for a week after the symptoms disappear, so as to kill the fungi that live in the deep skin.

"Hong Kong foot" is most likely to cause vaginal infections.

Clinically, there are cases of "athlete's foot" causing vaginitis, glans penis, hernia of the groin, tinea pedis and tinea pedis. Therefore, Huang stressed that special attention should be paid to the maintenance of personal hygiene so as to prevent "beriberi" from spreading to other parts of the body.

A patient with pruritus vulvae has been diagnosed as mycotic vaginitis, which is probably related to her tinea pedis, because tinea pedis and mycotic vaginitis are all fungal infections. Tinea manus and pedis also cause mycotic vaginitis. Maybe some people do not believe it.

Vaginitis has nothing to do with tinea pedis, but if there is tinea pedis and hands and feet, when washing clothes are different, underwear and socks are mixed together to wash the sun, so it may be infected.

According to clinical research, this kind of situation happens from time to time. For the whole body, except for the infection between hands and feet, the most vulnerable part of the infection is the female genitals.

Therefore, Dr. Huang Weiqiang suggested that patients with "beriberi" should avoid scratching as much as possible, otherwise they may cause tinea pedis and tinea pedis. After grasping, it may lead to bacterial infection and cause serious complications. In addition, attention should be paid to keeping the feet clean and dry, frequent shoes and socks should be treated with disinfection, and shoes should be well ventilated.

If it is hard to avoid scratching, we should pay attention to the cleanliness of the good hands. After grasping the feet, we can not catch other things or other parts of the body, and use hand sanitizer to clean the hands thoroughly.
