What bacteria causes athlete's foot?

Athlete's foot is a very distressing disease. It often becomes extremely itchy when the weather is warm or when the feet are warm, and one cannot help scratching it. Athlete's foot can cause skin peeling and redness and swelling between the toes, and can be transmitted to others if you accidentally share shoes with others. Another thing is that wearing shoes is particularly troublesome. As soon as you take off your socks, the stench is very unbearable. Athlete's foot is generally caused by Trichophyton rubrum, of course there are other fungi.

Athlete's foot is a common disease in people's lives. Once the disease occurs, patients often feel unbearable itching, and red spots and scaling appear between the toes. In patients with severe symptoms, the entire soles of the feet will become red and peel off. Athlete's foot not only seriously affects the patient's daily work and life, but is also easily contagious to others. The dermatophytes that commonly cause infection include Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microphyton canis, Microsporum gypseum and Epidermophyton floccosum.

1 Trichophyton rubrum is one of the most common pathogenic dermatophytes. There are four types of athlete's foot: blister type, macerated erosive type, scaly keratotic type and mixed type. Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin and thrives best in warm, humid conditions. Although mild climates may encourage the growth of the bacteria, sweaty shoes and socks are usually the culprit.

2Once you are infected with athlete's foot, you will need at least a month to treat it. Worse still, they will come back unless you eliminate their source.

Pay attention to cleanliness at ordinary times, keep your skin dry, keep your feet clean, wash them several times a day, and change your socks frequently.

3. Avoid wearing sports shoes, hiking shoes and other non-breathable shoes for a long time. Excessive sweating and moisture on the feet or non-breathable shoes and socks can induce this disease. Dermatophytes are often transmitted through contaminated bathhouses, swimming pool floors, bath towels, public slippers, and foot basins.

Notes in daily life: 1. Wear ventilated and breathable cotton socks and change and wash them every day. 2. Avoid wearing rubber shoes or non-breathable sneakers. It is best to have two pairs of shoes to change into. Sandals are the best choice.

3. Do not share shoes, slippers and socks with others. 4. Try not to scratch the soles of your feet or between your toes if they itch to prevent the infection from spreading to your fingers.

Shoes cause excessive foot sweating and severe foot odor.
