Best medicine for treating ringworm

Tinea manuum is relatively common in clinical practice. Many reasons may cause the occurrence of tinea manuum, which is also a relatively complex type of skin disease. The condition of tinea manuum is relatively complicated, and the cause of tinea manuum is closely related to fungal infection. In this case, it still needs to be treated with medication. So what is the best medicine to treat tinea manuum?

1. Causes

The cause of tinea manuum is relatively complicated. In addition to eroding the skin, the fungus also destroys the skin's protective layer, exposing the skin underneath directly to the air. The result is that the skin damaged by the fungi becomes allergic to many things - this is eczema. Conversely, repeated attacks of eczema also provide a "soil" for fungal infections. Tinea manuum and eczema are mutually reinforcing, so clinically the two exist at the same time. There is a special folk disease called goose palm wind, which is actually a combination of tinea manuum and hand eczema. This disease can be alleviated with topical medications alone, but it cannot be cured.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine

For stubborn tinea manuum and eczema, Chinese medicine must be taken. There are no good medicines on the market. It is recommended to ask a dermatologist to prescribe medicine according to personal situation. Please note that long-term illness will cause blood stasis and long-term illness will cause weakness. Long-term and recurrent tinea manuum must have pathological mechanisms such as spleen deficiency, dampness and blood stasis. Red blood spots can be seen on the tip of the tongue, or there are symptoms of stomach disease. Doctors must pay attention to this.

3. Antifungal drugs

For tinea manuum, when you go to the hospital for a microscopic examination, sometimes no fungi can be detected, sometimes no fungi can be detected. Even if you are examined in different hospitals on the same day, there may be positive and negative results. This is because the specimens taken may not necessarily contain fungi. But no matter what, it is recommended to use antifungal drugs. For severe tinea manuum, many doctors will prescribe some Chinese medicine to be boiled in water and soaked in the liquid medicine, such as hops, phellodendron, Kochia scoparia, Dictamni, Safflower, etc. Although it is a bit troublesome, it will make tinea manuum heal faster and its effect is much stronger than general dermatological topical medications. In addition, avoid contact with detergents, soaps, dishwashing detergents and other cleaning products.
