What is leucorrhea?

Many people may experience this situation in life. After eating or touching something, or after going to an unfamiliar place, they will find that their hands, legs and some parts of the body will become itchy. People will choose to scratch them with their hands at this time, but after scratching, the itching sensation not only does not subside, but becomes more and more intense, and the itchy part will also become red and swollen. In addition to these, some people may experience similar conditions when wearing some metals.

In fact, the above symptoms are most likely caused by some allergies. At this time, we should go to the hospital for a check-up to find the allergens. Of course, in addition to allergies, it may also be tinea pedis, for example: tinea pedis, is one of them. So, what exactly is goose palm wind?

Tinea pedis is actually tinea manuum, which is mainly caused by infections such as Trichophyton rubrum (accounting for about 55.6%), tinea barbae (gypsum-like), and Trichophyton (accounting for about 22.7%). The disease is mainly transmitted through contact. The important causes of tinea manuum infection include long-term immersion of hands in water, friction injuries, contact with detergents and solvents, etc. Therefore, the incidence of tinea manuum can be quite high in some industries. Most patients are young and middle-aged women, many of whom have a history of wearing rings.

The clinical manifestations of tinea pedis are divided into the following categories:

1. Blister-scaly type

The onset is usually unilateral. It starts from a certain part of the palm, with needle-sized blisters, thick and shiny walls, and clear fluid inside. The blisters may cluster in groups or be scattered, and may cause itching. After the blisters dry, they desquamate and gradually spread and expand to the surrounding areas, forming ring-shaped or multi-ring-shaped lesions with clear edges. The course of the disease is usually chronic and may last for many years until the entire palm is affected and spreads to the back of the hand and nails, and even the opposite palm. Sometimes blisters can become infected and form pustules. Compared with tinea pedis, tinea manuum is less likely to lead to serious bacterial infection.

2. Keratinosis and thickening

It usually develops from the blister-scaly type. Patients often have a history of many years of disease, involving both hands, but can also be unilateral. The skin lesions generally have no obvious blisters or annular desquamation. The palm surface is diffusely red and thickened, the skin lines are deepened, the skin is rough, dry and scaly. Cracks often occur in winter, and sometimes the cracks are very deep and accompanied by bleeding, causing unbearable pain and affecting activities. In addition to dermatophytes, factors that contribute to the thickening of keratinization on the palms are also related to long-term scratching, washing, stimulation by soaps, detergents, various chemicals and solvents, and improper treatment.

Don’t be afraid if you have tinea pedis, current medical technology is sufficient to cure it. Modern medicine generally treats tinea pedis by applying ointment to the skin. If the symptoms are slightly more serious, you can take relevant medicines orally for treatment. Another thing to note is that tinea pedis is easily contagious, so we must pay special attention to personal hygiene in our daily lives. It is best to have disinfectant at home and wash hands frequently with disinfectant to prevent it from being transmitted to family members.
