Blistering athlete's foot

1 Overview

Blister-type athlete's foot is located under the epidermis of the podiatria. Since the podiatria of the plantar part are thicker, the blister wall is not easily penetrated. There is no redness on the skin around the affected area. The skin is absorbed and peeled off after a few days. The damage can continue to expand and spread around. Sometimes small blisters can merge into large blisters, and the blister fluid is clear and yellowish white. Blister-type athlete's foot can occur throughout the year, but is more common in hot weather. For blister-type athlete's foot, you can first soak your feet in Chenxiang Zuqing, and then apply some foot-cleansing cream. Athlete's foot patients feel severe itching, and after scratching for a long time, the skin becomes rough and thick, which can often develop into scaly athlete's foot. Some patients with athlete's foot also develop secondary infection due to scratching, and the blisters become yellow pustules with redness around them. If the blisters rupture, erosions may form, and systemic symptoms may occur easily. Patients with blister-type athlete's foot should pay more attention to their diet and avoid irritating the affected area.
