How to treat the skin disease tinea pedis

Tinea pedis is a skin damage caused by fungal infection of the hands and feet. The incidence of tinea pedis is relatively high in my country. It often causes peeling of the hands and feet, causes temperature rise, and discomfort in the hands and feet. When this happens, it is necessary to receive good treatment in time. The best treatment is to use certain ointments to achieve the effect of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal. In addition, you should also pay attention to strengthening your diet in daily life to avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Symptoms of tinea pedis : 1. The vesicular-scaly type usually starts on one side. It starts from a certain part of the palm, with needle-sized blisters, thick and shiny walls, and clear fluid inside. The blisters may cluster in groups or be scattered, and may cause itching. After the blisters dry, they desquamate and gradually spread and expand to the surrounding areas, forming ring-shaped or multi-ring-shaped lesions with clear edges. The course of the disease is usually chronic and may last for many years until the entire palm is affected and spreads to the back of the hand and nails, and even the opposite palm. Sometimes blisters can become infected and form pustules. Compared with tinea pedis, tinea manuum is less likely to lead to serious bacterial infection.

2. The keratotic thickening type is mostly developed from the blister-scaly type. Patients often have a history of many years of disease, involving both hands, but can also be unilateral. The skin lesions generally have no obvious blisters or annular desquamation. The palm surface is diffusely red and thickened, the skin lines are deepened, the skin is rough, dry and scaly. Cracks often occur in winter, and sometimes the cracks are very deep and accompanied by bleeding, causing unbearable pain and affecting activities. In addition to dermatophytes, factors that contribute to the thickening of keratinization on the palms are also related to long-term scratching, washing, stimulation by soaps, detergents, various chemicals and solvents, and improper treatment.
