Can Pi Yan Ping cure athlete's foot?

Piyanping is a common topical medication. Its most obvious therapeutic effect is that it can inhibit fungi and kill fungi. It is often used to treat athlete's foot. We know that athlete's foot is a skin disease caused by fungal infection, which is quite harmful to patients. At this time, you can use Piyanping for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment process, you must also understand that Piyanping is a glucocorticoid, so it cannot be used for a long time.

Can Pi Yan Ping cure athlete's foot?

The main ingredient of Pi Yan Ping is dexamethasone, which is a glucocorticoid. It can be used externally to fight inflammation and allergies. It is very effective in treating allergic diseases such as chronic eczema, contact dermatitis, and drug rash. However, if the skin disease is accompanied by bacterial or fungal infection, hormone ointment should not be used. Itching on the soles of the feet is most likely caused by athlete's foot, which is a fungal infection. If you use hormone ointment, it will not only fail to cure the disease, but may also aggravate the symptoms. Antifungal drugs such as ketoconazole ointment should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Before using topical hormone medications, the nature of the disease must be clarified. Secondly, the strength and effectiveness of topical hormone ointments are also different. They can generally be divided into three types: super strong (such as halometasone ointment), strong (such as mometasone furoate ointment) and weak (such as hydrocortisone). When seeing a doctor, the doctor will choose appropriate medicine and a reasonable course of treatment based on the patient's age, site of disease, and characteristics of the skin lesions. Patients are not allowed to use them without authorization.

In fact, athlete's foot is not a difficult disease to cure. The problem is that many people think that athlete's foot is a minor problem and do not treat it seriously. When itching and discomfort occur, they just use some antifungal drugs to deal with it, and once the symptoms are alleviated, they will not persist. This does not kill the fungus, it will come back to life if the conditions are right.

In addition, many people like to apply hormones such as Pi Yan Ping ointment or compound ointments containing antifungal drugs such as Pi Kang Wang on the itchy skin patches due to itchy skin. Although the allergic itching caused by fungi is relieved, Pi Yan Ping ointments such as Pi Yan Ping ointment contain a large amount of hormone ingredients, which are nutrients for fungi and add fuel to the fire of tinea pedis.
