The flesh between the toes is rotten

Toes are a part of our feet, which is equivalent to the function of fingers on our human body. A normal person usually has ten toes, and the names of these ten toes are different. There are often many problems with our feet, and the toes are also prone to them, including the rotten flesh in the middle of the toes. However, many people do not know the reason for this situation. So what is the matter with the rotten flesh in the middle of the toes?

Wet and rotten toes is a common disease in people's lives. In severe cases, the entire sole of the foot may become red and peel. Wet and rotten toes not only seriously affect the patient's daily work and life, but are also easily transmitted to others.

Some people confuse "athlete's foot" with "wet and rotten toes", which is wrong. Medically, "athlete's foot" is a systemic disease caused by vitamin B deficiency, while "wet and rotten toes" is a common skin disease caused by fungal (also known as toxins) infection.

Pathogen type: Medically, toe rot is usually divided into three types: erosive type, blister type, and keratotic toe rot.

1. Erosive type: often occurs between the third and fourth, and between the fourth and fifth toes. Initially, the spaces between the toes are damp, whitish or small blisters appear. After drying and scaling, the dandruff reveals a moist, flushed eroded surface that is extremely itchy and prone to secondary infection.

2. Blister type: often occurs on the edge of the foot. Initially, they appear as small blisters with thick and full walls. Some of them may merge into large blisters. The blister fluid is transparent and there is no redness around them. The patient feels extremely itchy, and scratching often leads to secondary infection, such as erysipelas and lymphangitis.

3. Keratinic type: often occurs on the heels. The main symptoms are thick and dry skin, keratinization and desquamation, itching, and easy cracking. This type of disease has no blisters or suppuration, and the course of the disease is slow and does not heal for many years.

Note: (1) Pay attention to cleanliness, keep the skin dry, keep the feet clean, wash several times a day, and change socks frequently.

(2) It is not advisable to wear non-breathable shoes such as sports shoes and hiking shoes to avoid excessive foot sweating and worsening foot odor.

(3) Actively eliminate the inducing factors, such as foot sweating, athlete's foot, etc.

(4) Avoid eating foods that can easily induce sweating, such as hot peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, etc.

(5) Keep a calm mind. Excitement can easily induce excessive sweating and worsen foot odor.

(6) This disease is mainly treated with external treatment.

Precautions: 1. Keep your feet clean and dry, and treat sweaty feet. Change your shoes and socks frequently. People with tight gaps between toes can use some straw paper to absorb moisture and allow ventilation. The shoes should be well ventilated.

2. Do not use other people's slippers, bath towels, rags, etc., and do not walk in sewage near the bathhouse or swimming pool.

3. Public bathhouses and swimming pools must regularly treat sewage and disinfect it with bleach or chloramine. A system should be established to prevent the spread of wet and rotten toes.

4. Prevent toes from getting wet and rotten from the shoe cabinet
