Summer is the high incidence of beriberi. How should people with beriberi be treated?

The weather is hot in summer, and the sweat secreted by human sweat glands increases, and beriberi is more serious than in winter. Therefore, we should pay more attention to our hygiene and change our shoes and socks frequently in summer. If athlete's foot is serious, don't eat stimulating food that increases sweat gland secretion, such as pepper, onion, wine, garlic and so on. Beriberi is caused by fungal infection and spread through contact, so don't wear other people's shoes and socks, and don't use a footbath. Wear shoes with good air permeability and try not to wear leather shoes. The poor permeability of leather shoes will create a suitable growth environment for fungi and multiply in large numbers, making beriberi more serious. Before going to bed at night, you can soak your feet with vinegar and warm water. Vinegar has the function of sterilization and bacteriostasis, and can also reduce foot odor and slow down beriberi.

Secondly, the high incidence of beriberi in summer is mainly related to foot sweat, proper temperature, fungus breeding and other reasons. The scientific name of beriberi is tinea pedis, which is mainly caused by fungal infection. There are three kinds of common beriberi. Different forms of infection should be treated differently. Scaly keratosis is characterized by severe, dry, rough and chapped skin on heel and foot margin, and symmetrical onset of both feet, which is characterized by frequent occurrence in cold season. The erosive type is characterized by chapped skin between toes, which is more common between toes. In severe cases, the red rotten face is exposed and oozing, which will stink because of erosion. Most of these patients are sweating on their feet, so shoes should be well ventilated and kept clean with warm water every day.

Furthermore, it is characterized by sclerodermatous blisters on the soles of the feet and the edges of the feet, the blister wall is not easy to be punctured, and the surrounding skin has no erythema symptoms. Generally, blisters can be absorbed by themselves after a few days. When the blister breaks, it will form a round desquamation, and the surrounding skin lesions will continue to expand. Don't try to puncture the blister to prevent bacterial infection. ? Including blister type, erosive type and keratotic type, belonging to severe beriberi. The above is my answer to the high incidence of beriberi in summer, and how to treat beriberi patients, hoping to provide some help to friends in need.
