What should I do if I get athlete's foot on my hands

When you hear that athlete's foot appears on your hands, do you find it strange? The name of this disease is athlete's foot, so how could it appear on your hands? In fact, the name of athlete's foot is not because it only appears on the feet. The feet are just the place where it is prone to appear. Athlete's foot itself is a kind of bacteria and it is contagious. If you keep touching your feet with your hands, your hands will also be infected. What should you do if you get athlete’s foot on your hands?

If your hands are infected and the athlete's foot is really severe, you can apply Zu Yishu, a plant-based bactericidal treatment for athlete's foot. It is mild and will not cause peeling. It will be effective after using it for more than ten days in a row. In addition, lifestyle habits cannot be ignored. After all, the combination of prevention and treatment is the fundamental.

First: Dry and ventilate

Athlete's foot bacteria are mostly produced in a moist and closed environment. Whether it is the shoes and socks you wear or the shoe cabinet, it is best to have good ventilation, which is not conducive to the reproduction of bacteria.

Second: Pay attention to diet

Avoid fried and spicy foods and eat more vegetables and fruits.

Third: Prevent infection

Do not mix shoes, socks and towels in public places. People who already have athlete's foot should be careful not to infect others. Wash your hands frequently and avoid scratching to prevent the spread.

Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis and Hong Kong's foot, is a very common fungal infection of the skin. 70-80% of adults have athlete's foot, but the severity varies. It often gets worse in summer and gets better in winter, but some people never get better all year round. The skin lesions often occur unilaterally (i.e., one foot) first, and then infect the opposite side after several weeks or months. Blisters mainly appear on the soles and sides of the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes, and can also appear on the soles of the feet. They are deep small blisters that can gradually merge into large blisters. A characteristic of the skin lesions of tinea pedis is that they have clear boundaries and can gradually expand outward. As the disease progresses or scratching occurs, erosion, exudation, or even bacterial infection and pustules may occur. If tinea pedis is not treated in time, it can sometimes be transmitted to other parts of the body, such as causing tinea manuum and onychomycosis. Sometimes, due to scratching due to the itchiness, secondary bacterial infection can occur, which can cause serious complications.

Athlete's foot is the common name for tinea pedis. Some people confuse "athlete's foot" and "athlete's foot disease", which is wrong. Medically, "beriberi" is a systemic disease caused by vitamin B deficiency, while "athlete's foot" is a common skin disease caused by fungal (also known as toxins) infection. Foot basins and foot towels should be used separately to avoid infecting others. If tinea pedis is not treated in time, it may sometimes spread to other parts of the body, such as causing tinea manuum and onychomycosis. Sometimes, due to scratching due to the itchiness, secondary bacterial infection may occur, which may cause serious complications.
