Summer Tinea Pedis Is A Magic Weapon.

After entering the summer, she saw her ladies wear beautiful sandals. Miss Meng also envied and worried: her feet were peeling and itching in the summer, and they could only hide in shoes.

Liu Aimin, director of Department of Dermatology and chief physician of Henan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that Miss Meng is suffering from tinea pedis (commonly known as beriberi), and must be treated in time. Otherwise, fungi may infect other parts of the body, causing tinea manus, commonly known as "goose palm wind", tinea corporis, onychomycosis (commonly known as onychomycosis), etc., and will also be associated with bacterial infection, leading to lymphatic inflammation, lymphatic disease, erysipelas, etc.

Prolonged treatment and recurrent attacks are the biggest features of tinea pedis.

The survey showed that about 84% of the patients had more than two attacks per year.

Liu Aimin said, patients do not insist on treatment is the main reason, when symptoms disappear, stop medication, tinea pedis will happen again and again.

In view of the long period of treatment for tinea pedis, the fungus group of Chinese Medical Doctor Association Department of Dermatology recommended the combination of external application and oral "1+1" combined therapy to cure beriberi, that is, one week of external application plus oral administration of fungicide.

The ability of fungi to "travel long distances" is very strong. If someone in the family suffers from tinea pedis, their towels and slippers should be washed and stored separately and regularly sterilized so as to avoid cross infection.

Yuan Shuang, chief physician of Department of Dermatology, Zhengzhou children's Hospital, introduced that infants and young children are delicate skin and easily infected, so we must pay attention to prevention.

After bathing and washing your feet, children should dry with cotton swabs.

The temperature of the child's toes is not low. If there is a certain humidity and moisture, the fungus will easily breed and be infected by the athlete's beriberi.

Several Department of dermatology experts have warned that keeping the foot clean and dry is the premise of preventing tinea pedis, should pay attention to wearing good shoes and socks, often air drying, keep dry; socks are best used pure cotton products, like wearing sports shoes, ready to wear two pairs of alternate wear.
