Why do my feet itch when they get hot?

People will encounter many special diseases in their daily life and work. Some people have this symptom: the feet become very itchy when they are hot. Many people are very confused when this happens to them. They don’t know what factors cause this situation, and they don’t know what method should be used to treat this disease. So, why do feet itch when they are hot?

First, why do feet itch when they are hot? Tinea pedis is a very common skin ringworm disease that occurs on the feet and (or) hands. It is caused by pathogenic filamentous fungal infection and is more common than tinea manuum. It can be clinically divided into several types, including keratinization type, vesicular type, papular scaly type, intertriginous type and tinea corporis type, and can also appear mixed. This disease has a tendency to be contagious, and its occurrence is closely related to the hands and feet of patients and supplies, such as slippers, bathtubs, and foot cloths. Tinea manuum is often transmitted from the patient's own tinea pedis. Treatment recommendations include applying terbinafine, miconazole or ketoconazole cream to the affected area 2-3 times a day. For skin lesions and erosions, 2% gentian violet solution can be applied externally. However, since the fungal infection is deep in the skin, topical drugs are difficult to cure. To completely cure tinea pedis and tinea manuum, you should go to the dermatology department of the hospital and use oral antifungal drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as itraconazole, fluconazole, etc.

Second, it may be caused by fungal infection. It is basically normal when the humidity and temperature are not reached normally. Once it reaches the point, it will itch severely. It should heal quickly if you soak and wash with Chinese medicine. Suggestions: Use hot water before going to bed at night. Remember, it should be hot water. Don’t use it until it becomes too hot for you to bear. Be careful not to let your feet get cold during the day, and it will probably be better in a few days.

Why do feet become particularly itchy when they are hot? Tinea pedis is a foot skin disease caused by pathogenic fungi and is contagious. Tinea pedis is prevalent throughout the world and is more common in tropical and subtropical regions. In our country, the incidence of tinea pedis is also quite high. There are no sebaceous glands on the soles of the feet and between the toes, and thus a lack of fatty acids that inhibit skin filamentous fungi, and the physiological defense function is poor. However, the skin in these areas is rich in sweat glands and sweats more frequently. In addition, the air circulation is poor and the local area is humid and warm, which is conducive to the growth of filamentous fungi. In addition, the stratum corneum of the skin on the soles of the feet is thicker, and the keratin in the stratum corneum is a rich nutrient for fungi, which is conducive to the growth of fungi. During pregnancy, women's endocrine changes cause their skin's ability to resist fungal infections to decrease, making them more susceptible to tinea pedis. Obese people are more likely to suffer from tinea pedis due to moisture between the toes and sweat. Trauma to the foot skin destroys the skin's defense function and is also one of the factors that induce tinea pedis. Diabetic patients are also susceptible to tinea pedis because of the disorder of substance metabolism caused by lack of insulin and the increased sugar content in the skin leading to decreased resistance. Abuse of antibiotics, long-term use of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, etc., which can cause imbalance in the normal skin flora, can also increase susceptibility to tinea pedis. The incidence of tinea pedis is also related to lifestyle habits. Some people do not pay attention to foot hygiene and the condition of their shoes and socks, providing a good breeding ground for fungi.
