When the weather is sultry, your feet stink. Don't make these three mistakes to cure Hong Kong's foot.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, if you walk or exercise outdoors for a long time during the day, your feet, which are likely to be confined in shoes and socks for too long, will start to sweat violently, and the accumulated sweat that cannot be removed will promote fungal infection and become beriberi commonly known as Hong Kong's foot, which will make your feet smelly and wet, and sometimes cause pain due to blisters, peeling and chapping between your toes, which will become the biggest foot nightmare in summer.

The terrible thing about beriberi is that if we don't pay attention to it, it will probably spread to other parts of the body, and diseases such as tinea corporis, tinea manus, tinea cruris or onychomycosis (onychomycosis) will appear. Moreover, if the family's hygiene habits are not good, * * * is likely to turn into a family gathering infection and make the whole family suffer.

Three things you should never do when you treat Hong Kong foot with drugs. The key to cure the annoying athlete's foot is drug treatment, but the following three things should never be done during the treatment, otherwise it may not be as good as the forensic doctor, but it may aggravate the condition.

First, graffiti medicine:

The symptoms of beriberi are many and complicated, which are easily confused with other foot dermatoses. Some symptoms are similar to beriberi, but the cause and treatment are different. If you blindly use anti-fungal beriberi medicine, even if you rub it for a long time, it will not work. For example, if you suffer from blister athlete's foot and wear a patented steroid-based medicine, you will feel that the itching effect is excellent; However, if it belongs to toe-toe beriberi, frequent application of steroids will reduce skin immunity and make beriberi mold multiply more seriously.

Also, don't think that compound ointment can do everything as long as it is rubbed. With the progress of the course of treatment, the combination of drugs for treating beriberi must be adjusted accordingly. Don't think that all the problems of beriberi can be solved at one time with only one drug. It is best to go to the hospital to see a specialist to determine the most suitable medicine.

Second, feed your feet:

There are many sayings that if you have athlete's foot, you can soak your feet with vinegar, ginger, garlic, tea, or even bananas, which can cure athlete's foot. These legendary folk remedies are actually not correct, have no effect on the treatment of beriberi, and may even cause skin problems.

For example, using high concentration glacial acetic acid can kill mold, but it can also harm the skin, especially patients with blisters or ulcers. Soaking feet with these materials can easily lead to wound ulceration and even cellulitis.

Third, stop taking medicine when symptoms improve:

Theoretically, beriberi can be completely cured. However, according to clinical statistics, in 1 year, about 65% of patients relapsed more than 4 times. The main reason is that the patient's medication compliance is low, and he stopped taking drugs without authorization because of the improvement of symptoms, and he did not complete the complete course of medication for tinea pedis, which led to the recurrence of cryptobacteria.

Some patients only apply medicine to the affected area with symptoms, which may not be effective in treating beriberi, because in the initial stage of fungal infection, the feet may not have symptoms. Clinical investigation shows that about 17% patients suffer from tinea pedis without obvious desquamation or blisters. Therefore, when applying medicine, you must completely apply the ointment to the soles, toes and toes of both feet, and don't miss any part.
