What is the best way to treat foot ulcer?

Foot inflammation is a relatively common disease, mainly involving the keratin. If inflammation occurs, and if ulcers and erosions occur locally, the harm may be greater. You should disinfect in time, wash your feet and hands frequently, and take medicine for serious areas on time. It can be treated with hot compresses and physical therapy.

The key points of prevention and treatment are as follows:

1. Take good care of the skin around your nails and avoid any damage to them. Nails should not be cut too short and you should not pull out "hangnails" with your hands.

2Prevention is better than cure. Wood thorns, bamboo thorns, sewing needles, fish bones, etc. are the foreign objects that are most likely to injure the nail groove in daily life. You should be extra careful when participating in labor or doing housework.

3 Pay attention to the maintenance of your fingers on daily basis. Apply some Vaseline or skin care cream after washing your hands and before going to bed to enhance the disease resistance of the skin around the nail groove.

4. If there are minor injuries on your fingers, apply 2% iodine and then bandage them with a Band-Aid to prevent infection.

5. In the early stage of paronychia, hot compress, physical therapy, external application of ichthyol ointment or Sanhuang powder, and taking sulfa drugs or antibiotics when necessary.

6 If the wound has become purulent, you should go to the hospital for timely incision and drain the pus. Prevent the spread of infection and cause phalangeal osteomyelitis.

7 If there is pus accumulation under the nail, the nail should be removed to facilitate adequate drainage and complete healing.

Iodine tincture soak

As long as there is any slight injury or damage to the toe, apply or soak the affected toe with iodine 4 to 6 times a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time, until the skin turns white. The disinfecting effect of iodine will corrode the diseased skin tissue and allow it to regrow, in order to prevent paronychia.
