Often feet itch, is it beriberi? Is it useful to soak your feet with vinegar?

Generally speaking, people with beriberi often feel itchy feet, which may be related to beriberi, but the relationship between them is not double-headed, such as herpes simplex, palmoplantar keratosis and other foot problems, and it is also easy to cause itchy feet.

Beriberi is indeed a common cause of foot itching. It is caused by fungal infection and has certain infectivity. For people who don't pay attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness, they are more susceptible to infection, such as not washing their feet, not changing socks every night, and wearing only one pair of shoes for a long time, which are easy to provide a favorable environment for the growth of fungi.

People with beriberi may have symptoms such as foot pain, skin cracking on their feet, local redness and swelling. Besides itchy feet, there are three main types.

The first type: blisters, blisters on the chairman's feet, blisters between the chairman's toes and the soles of his feet.

The second type: erosive type, the skin of the feet is easy to turn white and the epidermis will fall off.

The third type: scaly keratosis, the skin of the foot is thickened, which can remove scales and looks very dry.

It is winter now, and many people find that the skin of feet has scales, and there are many scales. They may think that this is the reason for the dry weather. They wait until winter, but probably not.

As mentioned above, it is contagious. If your feet itch, you often scratch them with your hands, which may also infect your hands and form psoriasis. Not only that, but it may also be transmitted to family members and live together for 10 thousand years. If a person has athlete's foot, then everyone can get infected by using footbath and foot cloth together. So it's best to remind everyone to resist and not to scratch with their hands. If someone in the family has beriberi, you should pay attention to it at ordinary times and don't share some daily necessities.

In addition to beriberi, people who often itch their feet should also pay attention to the following problems.

People with high blood sugar may also have itchy feet. When the blood sugar is too high, the nerve endings of the skin of the feet are easily stimulated during the blood circulation of glucose in the body, which will cause itching and may be accompanied by dryness of the feet. This kind of foot itch is different from foot problems. Scratching won't relieve it. The key is to lower blood sugar as soon as possible. If your feet itch because there is no skin disease, it is recommended to test your blood sugar level.

About how to relieve itching, some people know how to take medicine, but after using it, they find that it really gets better in a short time, but it recurs after a long time. If you think it's useless to apply medicine, just listen to others say that folk remedies are effective. Take vinegar soaking feet as an example.
