"When you have athlete's foot, you can't help scratching it with your hands, but the fungus on your feet is brought to your hands."

Mr. Wu has suffered from athlete's foot for many years, and feels extremely itchy every day, often scratching with both hands. Unexpectedly, when he was scratching, his hands also had blisters, which were extremely itchy, making him uncomfortable. Now, "itching" is the biggest feeling every day, and going to the pharmacy to buy ointment to apply it doesn't have much effect.

Itching is not a serious disease, but it makes people miserable. Maybe only those who have experienced it understand!

Mr. Wu has never understood why he suffers from athlete's foot? Why does "beriberi" spread to the hands? Why are you so unlucky?

1. Itchy, how did tinea pedis find you?

Tinea pedis refers to the uncomfortable symptoms that appear after the skin is infected by fungi. Generally, tinea pedis is caused by tinea pedis infection. Fungus likes to survive in a humid and warm environment. Wearing airtight shoes and socks for a long time is easy to provide a breeding ground for the reproduction of fungi. Sharing towels, slippers, foot basins, etc. with people infected with fungi can also easily cause cross-infection.

After fungal infection, three types of abnormal manifestations generally appear, namely vesicular, interstitial erosion, and scaly keratosis .

Among them, patients with vesicular type will have abnormal blisters on the affected area, mostly small blisters, and the blisters are distributed in groups or scattered. After drying, there may be symptoms of desquamation, often accompanied by severe itching symptoms ; It will appear between the toes, and the specific performance is erosion and whitening. After peeling off the epidermis, there will be a red erosion layer at the bottom, and there will also be obvious itching; the scaly keratotic type is mostly dry and desquamating. Symptoms show that the boundary of the affected area is clear, and the inflammation is not obvious.

If you find that your hands and feet have the above symptoms, you must be alert and seek medical treatment in time.

2. Is it difficult to cure tinea pedis?

There are certain "favored" groups of people with tinea pedis. People who live in humid areas, are obese, wear airtight shoes and socks for a long time, have diabetes, and have AIDS will have a significantly increased risk of tinea pedis.

Once you have tinea pedis, you need to seek medical attention immediately.

At present, the commonly used clinical treatment methods include topical and oral drug treatment, and most of them are combined with the treatment . The topical drug butinafine hydrochloride can be used to treat tinea pedis, but different types of patients also have different emphasis on medication. Cream and spray should be used for blister type and scaly type, and powder is generally used for dipping and erosion type. Get treatment.

Of course, the specific medication should be carried out under the doctor's advice and under the guidance of the doctor, and a certain course of treatment should be guaranteed to prevent recurrence.

3. To prevent tinea pedis, keep in mind 4 points

For ordinary people, the prevention of tinea pedis in life needs to do these points.

First of all, in daily life, we should pay attention to keeping the skin of hands and feet dry and avoid being in a humid environment for a long time; at the same time, we should reduce the consumption of irritating food, and drink as little irritating drinks as possible, such as alcohol, coffee, etc.

Secondly, the clothes you wear should be mainly made of cotton with strong air permeability , reduce the contact with chemical fiber products on the hands and feet, and change the shoes and socks frequently, and do not wear airtight shoes for a long time.

In addition, the infection of tinea pedis sometimes occurs in public places. Therefore, it is recommended to bring your own daily necessities in public places , especially personal items such as shoes and towels. At home, if a family member suffers from tinea pedis, it is also necessary to avoid sharing personal items to prevent cross-infection.

Finally, keep a regular routine and don't stay up late. Improper rest for a long time will lead to the disorder of the endocrine system and the decline of the resistance, so that the fungus is easily infected and relapsed, which makes the beriberi recur repeatedly.

Tinea pedis can bring a lot of bad experiences to life. Although it is not fatal, the discomfort is very real. Therefore, we must prevent it as much as possible, especially in spring and summer, when the weather is humid and fungal infections are high.
