What causes peeling of soles of feet?

There are many reasons for peeling on the soles of the feet. For example, the weather is dry and you don't pay attention to moisturizing, which can easily cause skin peeling. Of course, it may also be caused by disease. The most common one is athlete's foot caused by fungal infection. Athlete's foot is different from beriberi. Beriberi is caused by a lack of vitamins in the body. At this time, you should check and treat it in time.

What causes peeling of the soles of feet?

Peeling of feet is often caused by athlete's foot. So besides athlete's foot, what other causes can cause peeling feet? Let’s take a look together below.

1. Dry soles

Because people often do not pay attention to the care of the soles of their feet, which will lead to dehydration of the soles of their feet over time. If dehydration lasts for a long time, the feet will peel off. In this case, after taking a shower every day, gently massage the soles of your feet with lotion until it is absorbed, or you can wash your feet with lemon water to achieve the effect of hydrating.

2. Athlete's foot

Because athlete's foot can also cause peeling of the soles of the feet, we should treat the athlete's foot first. Using medicine to treat athlete's foot or soaking your feet in mint water can achieve the effect of treating athlete's foot.

3. Lack of vitamin E in the body

Peeling feet are partly caused by a lack of vitamin E in the body. Therefore, we can eat more fruits and vegetables containing more vitamin E to help us replenish vitamin E in our body.

4. Exfoliative keratolysis

Exfoliative keratolysis not only causes peeling of the soles of the feet, but in severe cases it can also cause pain in the soles of the feet and difficulty walking.

1. 20 cloves of peanuts and garlic, 250 grams of raw peanut kernels, and 3 pairs of chicken feet. Peel the garlic cloves and cook them together with the other two ingredients. The swelling will go away and the stool will be healed. Peanut kernels contain phospholipids, which can cure diseases such as intestinal obstruction and can also relieve athlete's foot.

2. 5 garlic heads and 1 turtle. Wash the turtle, cut it into pieces, mash the garlic slightly, put it into the pot, stew the turtle, and take it once a day. This prescription has the effect of reducing swelling caused by beriberi and is more suitable for the elderly.

3. 200 grams each of peanut kernels, red beans, peeled garlic and brown sugar. Cook the above medicines until soft and eat them once a day. Do not add salt, otherwise it will be ineffective. This prescription can treat beriberi caused by edema on the dorsum of the foot, which may extend to the ankles and even cause slight discomfort in the calves. If the swelling extends beyond the knee to the thigh, the person's life is in danger and he or she should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

4. 4 grams each of dried ginger, costus root, and aged wine, and 2 grams of plums. Add 400 ml of water to the above medicines and boil until half the amount is left. This decoction is a daily portion and should be taken three times. This recipe can prevent athlete's foot and heart disease. In addition, it is advisable to take a little more vitamin B1, which is beneficial for the treatment of beriberi.

5. 60 grams of garlic, 30 grams of old ginger, 30 grams of tangerine peel, 60 grams of red beans, and 1 crucian carp. Wash the crucian carp, put it into the pot with the above medicines, add appropriate amount of water and cook it before eating. Beriberi is closely related to the spleen and stomach. Restoring the functions of the spleen and stomach can eliminate edema. Both red beans and crucian carp have the function of eliminating edema, and tangerine peel plays an auxiliary role.
