What to do if athlete's foot recurs repeatedly in summer? After the fungus infection on the feet, how to treat it to eradicate it?

Introduction: Summer is the season of high incidence of beriberi. Peeling, blisters, unbearable itching, etc. appear repeatedly on the soles of the feet and between the toes, and even recurrent beriberi, which makes many patients suffer. Athlete's foot is more common in southerners, and even the recurrence rate has reached between 50% and 80%. Why is the incidence of beriberi so high? How can I get rid of athlete's foot?

In the elevator and in the small office, many people have smelled a sour smell, like the smell of rotten socks in the rainy season. Some people are more straightforward and complain, who has beriberi? Why is it so smelly? But foot odor is not necessarily caused by beriberi.

Clinically, athlete's foot is a disease that occurs after a skin infection with a fungus , known as athlete's foot. After appearance, it usually occurs on one foot first, and may not infect the other foot after several weeks or months. It is a contagious disease and affects 50%-80% of adults. Beriberi has a higher incidence in the south . In summer, it is easier to recur, aggravate, and persist for a long time.

Why is athlete's foot easy to recur? maybe you got it wrong

Question 1: Beriberi is not the same as beriberi

Sometimes people will tacitly assume that beriberi is not just beriberi. actually not. Beriberi is a disease caused by fungal infection, and beriberi is a nutrient deficiency disease . When the human body has vitamin B1 deficiency , it may cause beriberi. It is also divided into dry and wet according to different performances. Dryness is mainly manifested as abnormalities in the nervous system, such as neuritis, decreased distance, and cross-threshold gait in walking. The wet type may show weakness, weakness, palpitations, shortness of breath and other problems.

If beriberi is mistaken for beriberi, then no amount of vitamin B1 supplementation can improve the problem of beriberi, and the fungus cannot be eradicated, and it will naturally recur.

Question 2: After treating beriberi, stop as soon as you see better

After beriberi appears, many people will choose to apply ointment or medication to treat beriberi. But whenever the symptoms improved, I would stop the medication and feel better. In fact, after the symptoms of beriberi are completely relieved, it is still necessary to continue to apply the medicine for about 1 week to consolidate the curative effect (different types of beriberi have different treatment durations). If you choose antifungal topical medicines , such as azole topical medicines, you need to apply them twice a day for 4-6 weeks to improve the compliance of medication and have a better therapeutic effect.

Problem 3: Mixed medication, not following doctor's advice

For beriberi, a certain drug is usually recommended for treating diseases, and only one of the same drugs is often selected . If you need a combination of medication, you also need to follow the doctor's advice, not the more medication the better. For example, common miconazole, bifonazole and other azole antifungal drugs , and nafine creams are also antifungal drugs. Just do not have to repeat use when taking medicine.

If beriberi requires combined medication, it should also be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid repeated use or excessive use of the same drug, which will also affect the curative effect of beriberi.

Question 4: I only know about treatment but not about prevention

Under reasonable treatment means and dosage, beriberi is a disease that can be cured completely, but it will not recur after being cured. When you can't do a good job of prevention, you still face a higher risk of recurrence. For example, summer is the high season for beriberi. If you like to do the following things, beriberi is likely to haunt you and recur.

①I like doing nail art . Although alcohol disinfection is used to sterilize nails, the fungus that causes beriberi cannot be completely killed by alcohol . If the previous customer has beriberi, the next customer who uses the same set of tools may also be infected by fungi and induce beriberi .

②Swimming in summer. It may be because fungi are infected in swimming pools, public slippers , etc. If the fungus cannot be completely killed, it is likely that the bacteria will be infected, which will lead to beriberi infection and eventually cause repeated attacks.

③ There is beriberi in the family, but it has not been cured . Beriberi can be said to be an infectious disease with a certain degree of clustering. When a family member has beriberi, but you have cured it, he has not. It is also possible to inadvertently transmit the fungus to you, which can cause repeated attacks of athlete's foot.

④Do not pay attention to foot hygiene , long-term damp and airtight. When your feet are always in a humid and airtight environment, it is more prone to sweat residue , fungus and other problems. People who are prone to sweating on their feet should choose shoes and socks with good air permeability as much as possible, and wash their feet frequently.

Take a look to see if you have such a problem, maybe it is because you have not done well enough in these places that the curable beriberi will recur.

But some people also said, I don’t have these conditions, why is athlete’s foot still not cured, and it recurs? The following will teach you what to do to completely eradicate the fungus infection on your feet?

Summer athlete's foot is serious, how to eradicate the fungus?

Choose medicines and other sterilization methods. For example, when there are erosions and exudates in the toes and other parts, first choose to let the wound dry and gradually improve to improve the situation. For example, after wet compress with a certain proportion of potassium permanganate solution, oil or powder is applied externally. Wait until the skin is dry before choosing an antifungal drug treatment as mentioned above.

When the stratum corneum thickens, first select certain drugs to soften the stratum corneum, and then choose antifungal drugs. The more common method is, after soaking in warm water, apply ointment on the local area, then wrap it with plastic film, and then wrap it with a bandage. Remove after 24-48 hours, and then use antifungal drugs, which are more easily absorbed.

If it is obstinate beriberi and the patient has no contraindications, it can also be combined with certain oral drugs for consolidation treatment and systemic treatment. But what needs to be reminded is that the most important thing for beriberi medication is coherent and regular treatment, and you must not use it without authorization.

In the hot summer, people who are troubled by beriberi should know whether they have beriberi or beriberi. Followed by targeted treatment, so as to kill the fungus on the feet and prevent repeated attacks of athlete's foot.

Conclusion: Beriberi may recur, and there are three main factors that cause recurrent beriberi. Firstly, after the beriberi is cured, the fungus will be infected again; secondly, if it is not completely cured in the first treatment, it may recur; thirdly, the patient itself still has the problem of onychomycosis, and if the onychomycosis is not cured, it may also cause The cured athlete's foot becomes infected again, causing recurrence.
