Can alcohol cure athlete's foot?

Athlete's foot is generally caused by fungi. If such bacteria are not completely eliminated during treatment, it is likely to cause recurrence. I believe that many patients are also troubled by this disease. It is actually feasible to use alcohol to treat athlete's foot. Iodine alcohol has a good effect on skin disinfection, and patients can use alcohol for disinfection frequently.

Tinea pedis is commonly known as "Hong Kong foot", also known as athlete's foot and foot dampness. Fungi like moist and warm environments. In the hot summer, people sweat a lot and wear rubber shoes and nylon socks, which provide a breeding ground for fungi. The condition usually improves in the winter, manifested by cracking of the skin. This is a contagious disease that can spread rapidly by sharing washbasins, foot basins, foot towels, hand towels, slippers and bathtubs.

To treat athlete's foot, you can try the following methods:

1. Massage acupoints to treat athlete's foot and foot odor. When washing your feet, soak your feet in warm water in a basin for two or three minutes. When your feet are warm, press the heel of one foot slightly above the toes of the other foot. Then push the heel forward to the toes and rub it back. Pull back lightly and push forward heavily so as not to rub the skin. Rub each toe space 50-80 times, alternating between feet. The speed is 100-120 times per minute. Once every night. This method is not suitable for people with severe athlete's foot and broken skin on the upper part.

2. Boil soybean water to treat athlete's foot. Crush 150 grams of soybeans and boil them in water. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. The water should be about 1 kilogram. When the water temperature is suitable for washing feet, use it to soak your feet. You can soak them for a while. It is very effective in treating athlete's foot. It prevents feet from peeling and keeps the skin moisturized. Generally, the effect will be seen after washing for three or four days.

3. Fig leaves can cure athlete's foot. Take a few fig leaves, add water and boil for about 10 minutes. When the water temperature is appropriate, soak the affected feet for 10 minutes, twice a day. It will usually heal in three to five days.

Athlete's foot can be treated by rubbing with alcohol, which has a certain therapeutic effect. Athlete's foot is a very common fungal skin infection. It is recommended to wipe the area with iodine cotton balls after washing your feet every night. After three to five minutes, use 75% medical alcohol to deiodine. Afterwards, wrap dry cotton strips between the toes before sleeping to keep the area dry. Athlete's foot is prone to recurrence after seven to ten consecutive days, so you should pay attention to wipe it frequently with iodine alcohol.
