The doctor also reminded that if the public wades in the water for a long time outdoors or does not pay attention to washing in time after wading in the water, it is easy to induce skin allergies, eczema and other diseases, and patients who originally suffered from tinea pedis are also prone to aggravate their symptoms. It is recommended that the public should prepare rain boots when going out, in the choice of rain boots, rain boots are better than slippers or sandals, because they can avoid contact with the sewage on the street, and the anti-slip effect is also better. However, rain boots have poor ventilation effect, and long-term wear is easy to induce skin diseases due to hot and humid feet, so it is recommended that the public try to change into shoes with good breathability after arriving at the destination.
