There is a skin disease, when it occurs, the itching is unbearable, erosive and peeling, and it is extremely contagious, and the whole family may suffer if one person is sick, especially children!
And the temperature rises during this time, which is the time for it to recur. Therefore, we can't prevent it, and if we start early, we will have athlete's foot, which is the annoying thing of athlete's foot.
1. The contagiousness is really strong!
On each of our feet, there are about 250,000 sweat glands. Salt, amino acids, glucose, etc. in sweat are the favorite nutrients of fungi.
If your feet are sweaty, your shoes are not breathable, you don't dry your feet after washing, or you don't even like to wash your feet, then the fungus will entangle you, and tinea pedis will not be far from you.
When you have bare feet that have been infected with tinea pedis, walk around the floor with your child a few times, or keep your footbath and your family's footbath together and mix your socks with your family's feet.
These behaviors can cause other people in the family to suffer from tinea pedis, and the speed of transmission is very high.
Moreover, the pathogenic fungus is on the feet, which is tinea pedis, because of the scratching of the hands, it is tinea manufolia, and when it spreads to the root of the thighs, it is jock itch, and the body is tinea corporis, and the spread range is also very large.
2. It's really uncomfortable to get infected!
Itching, blisters, chapped skin, peeling, these are typical symptoms of tinea pedis. According to the different symptoms, tinea pedis is generally divided into the following 4 types:
Erosive type:
First, the skin between the toes turned white, as if it had been blistered for a long time. Then peeling, scaling. After the dandruff is removed, the erosion underneath will become red, hot, and irritated by water.
It is more likely to appear in the middle of the third and fourth toes. The itching is unbearable after removing the dandruff, and it is easy to get infected when touching other parts of the body after scratching.
Blister type:
Small blisters will appear at the edges of the feet, and these small blisters may coalesce into one large blister.
The blisters contain a clear fluid that contains a large number of pathogenic fungi that are more likely to infect other parts of the skin when scratched.
Keratinized type:
It usually occurs on the heels, where the skin becomes thicker and rougher, and later becomes drier and more peeling. Scratching can easily cause chapped skin.
Keratinizing may not be as itchy as the first two, but it lasts for a long time and may not heal for a long time.
Mixed type:
That is, the above three types of athlete's foot may appear two or three at the same time, and when they appear at the same time, they are mixed.
3. The vitality is really tenacious!
This refers to the vitality of the fungus.
Although antifungal drugs are available, they need to be used continuously for a long time, even if the symptoms have disappeared. Otherwise, the fungus can easily "make a comeback", leading to a recurrence of beriberi.
Commonly used antifungal creams are:
There are also sprays like terbinafine hydrochloride, which are more convenient to use than creams. You can buy according to your needs, just buy one, and the effect is similar.
Note: The "dermatitis flat" that is commonly kept at home is a hormone ointment, which has no effect on the fungal disease of beriberi! Although it can relieve itching for a short time, when used for a long time, hormones will easily induce fungal reproduction.
As well as to adhere to the medication every day, it is best not to interrupt. After the itching, peeling and other related symptoms disappear, it will take 2~4 weeks of medication to completely kill the fungus and avoid recurrence.
When applying the ointment, it should also be widely covered and evenly applied. Especially for erosive athlete's foot, 2 cm around the lesion, that is, all the toes and toe gaps, should be applied to kill more fungus.
4. Care is really attentive!
First of all, during a beriberi attack, do not share footbaths, foot towels, slippers, or even nail clippers with your family, do not mix slippers and socks, and do not walk barefoot at home.
There is no seizure, just to prevent athlete's foot, and it is also recommended that the family should have a separate foot washbasin, foot towels, slippers, nail clippers, especially children's belongings, not to be confused with adults.
Then keep your feet dry. Children love to sweat, and so do their feet. Dry your feet in time after washing and bathing, especially between your toes, with a foot towel or a disposable cotton towel.
Usually try to choose cotton socks and breathable shoes, and when your feet are sweaty, you can try to wear five-toe socks.
Finally, regularly disinfect shoes and socks, foot towels, and foot basins. For example, use boiling water at 100°C to wash shoes and socks, or soak and disinfect with clothing disinfectant.
