In the cold winter, for the girls' paper, the most fashionable and versatile shoe item in winter is not boots
Love beauty, are you the same as Ben Hong, there must be a pair of boots in the shoe cabinet?
Boots are fashionable and good-looking, with bare-legged artifacts + shorts short skirts belong to the kind of walking with the wind, looking tall and sassy, probably because of this captured the hearts of many girls.
However, the "leather boot disease" caused by boots is also not uncommon in medicine, except for the athlete's foot and corns that everyone has heard of.
There is also a case where the soles of the feet are covered with densely packed small craters, which look like a honeycomb, and are also deeply affected by "leather boots".
(The boots have poor air permeability, and the moisture emitted by the feet cannot be dissipated in time after walking, which creates a good growth and reproductive environment for some bacteria)
There is truth in the picture

And, when you take off your shoes, that taste... Raced over durian, better than rotten eggs. Have you ever had such a situation?
Even if you don't, you will wonder why the soles of your feet are "chewed" so many small holes? Ben Hong satisfies your curiosity, and the answer slides down.
It is fossa keratin release, also known as sulcus metatarsal keratin release, which is a bacterial skin infection that appears in the stratum corneum of the metatarsal cuticle.
So the question is, which bacteria can cause many small holes in the soles of the feet?
Most are caused by Sedodermococci, a bacterium that produces two serine proteases that degrade keratin.
The course of the disease is relatively long, the onset is slow, often in the hot and humid season, and the dry and cold season alleviates or subsides;
It tends to occur in load-bearing areas, such as the toe abdomen, the sole of the foot, and the heel, but a few occur between the palms and toes;
Lesions are mostly scattered in superficial crater-like or scattered circular depressions, about 1-3 mm in diameter, partially fused, mostly normal skin color or brown, and the edges are surrounded by annular black grooves, which are shaped like craters as a whole;
Partially perspiration, maceration and whitishness of the skin with a pronounced odor (odor);
Increased skin viscosity, easy to stick to shoes and socks;
Seeing this, some people will be curious to ask, is fossa keratin release beriberi?
Certainly not beriberi.
Regarding beriberi, which is medically called tinea pedis or tinea pedis, is a superficial skin disease of the foot caused by a fungal infection, usually with a pronounced itching sensation and highly contagious.
Fossa keratin release is caused by a bacterial infection, is not contagious, and has a different manifestation from tinea pedis.
People with bad habits
I don't like to wash my feet, and I don't wash my feet seriously even if I take a bath.
There are also those who have been exposed to mud and water barefoot for a long time, and often like to wear closed and impermeable footwear (such as boots, rubber shoes, leather shoes, etc.), providing a warm and humid environment for bacteria to breed, leading to infection.
Obese, sweaty people
Overweight means that the weight-bearing capacity of the foot will be greater, coupled with the fact that if you sweat a lot and do not change your shoes and socks frequently, "jiojio" is easily favored by bacteria in such an environment for a long time.
In addition, especially people with hyperhidrosis, after a lot of sweating, shoes and socks are impregnated with sweat for a long time, which is more likely to cause fossa keratin release.
People who live in warm and humid environments for a long time
This environment is conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, so the incidence of such diseases is relatively high in tropical or subtropical climate areas.
People with weakened immunity
People with reduced immunity or immunodeficiency in the elderly population are very susceptible to secondary infectious diseases if their immunity is weakened.
People with diabetes
Complications of diabetes can lead to foot ulcer infection, which can be secondary to fossa keratin release.
Fossa keratin release needs to be treated as soon as possible, and under the guidance of doctors, for the purpose of sweating and inhibiting bacteria, for the purpose of keratin release, restore normal stratum corneum. It mainly includes the following measures:
Antiperspirant therapy
Keeping your feet dry is the key to treating this disease, insist on washing your feet with warm water every day, and apply some talc or antiperspirant appropriately after washing your feet to keep your feet dry and avoid excessive sweating.
Common antiperspirants are some water-soluble aluminum salts, such as aluminum chloride hydrate, the purpose of antiperspirants is to help keep the feet dry, remove the environment in which bacteria are easy to breed, and help treat fossa keratin release.
In addition, for long-term recurrent and refractory pit cutaneous release, intradermal injection of botulinum toxin can be performed on the skin of the affected area.
(The principle is that the transmitters of sweat glands and salivary gland nerves are acetylcholine, and botulinum toxin injection can prevent the release of acetylcholine, thereby temporarily reducing the production of sweat)
Bacteriostatic therapy
Topical antibiotic ointments, such as erythromycin ointment, miconazole ointment, clotrimazole cream, and compound benzoic acid salicylic acid ointment.
If topical therapy is not obvious, oral antibiotic therapy (e.g., erythromycin) may be an option to adjuvantly treat the infectious agent of fossa keratin release.
Hygiene habits
Wash your feet and change your socks frequently every day, and remember to wipe them clean after washing them to keep your feet dry. Replace the shoes and socks, blanch them with boiling water and then expose them to the sun to achieve a better disinfection effect.
daily
Choose breathable shoes and socks, no or less boots, leather shoes, rubber shoes (try to leave jiojio some free breathing time).
In addition, do not always soak in the water or mud barefoot, or it is really impossible to avoid because of work, and clean and care work should be done during contact and after contact, such as wearing protective foot covers and cleaning in time after work.
environment
People who have lived in a humid environment for a long time usually open the windows for ventilation, and dehumidifiers can also be placed in the house.
Keeping air circulating from time to time not only breathes fresh air is good for the body, but also prevents bacteria from growing.
exercise
When the body's immunity is low, it is easy to infect bacteria, so it actively exercises daily to enhance physical fitness and prevent infection.
