Athlete's foot is a common condition among people. The most direct symptom of athlete's foot is that the feet will be very itchy. It will itch when eating, sleeping, and walking, which makes people very uncomfortable. When faced with athlete's foot, people will take various measures to treat it. Scalding with hot water is a very common one. So is it good to scald athlete's foot with hot water? Let me introduce it to you below.

For athlete's foot, you can soak your feet in hot water. You may consider applying some antifungal drugs externally, such as miconazole nitrate ointment, or soaking your feet in coral ringworm medicine.

Guidance:

You should usually wear cloth shoes with good breathability, and it is best not to wear leather shoes.

The most common cause of foot itching is athlete's foot caused by fungal infection. The treatment of athlete's foot is antifungal treatment. At present, there are many topical antifungal ointments, such as terbinafine ointment, ketoconazole ointment, nitrate ointment, econazole ointment, trastuzumab cream, etc. These ointments are very effective in treating athlete's foot. You must pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your feet clean and dry, and isolate yourself from others, because fungi are highly infectious and can be easily transmitted to others.

Ways to relieve itchy feet:

1. Use salt

Salt has a bactericidal effect. Although it cannot be used as disinfectant, it is still very effective in dealing with itchy feet. Put some salt in the hot water. You can put more. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little salty. Then rinse your feet. The itch will go away after that. The effect is very good.

2. Use Alcohol

Of course, a liquor with a higher concentration, such as Erguotou, is most suitable. Use a cotton swab to dip some alcohol into the itchy area and rub it on it. The anti-itching effect is also very good. Of course, you can also use medical alcohol.

3. Using cigarettes

This is a traditional method that my father taught me when I was a child. This is only for itchy feet. After washing your feet, put the tobacco from a cigarette between your two toes and remove the tobacco after 20 minutes. Because tobacco contains nicotine, it can eliminate some bacteria. Anyway, every time I use it, the itching will not go away for a long time.

4. Use Mugwort

Although mugwort itself warms the body, people who are prone to getting inflamed should avoid using it. However, it is really best for people with cold body to use it to soak their feet. It can relieve itching and warm the body. This is not very fast because it takes some time to boil the water. You can use it more often if you have time.

5. Medical ointment

You have to ask your doctor for the prescription. You should apply the right type of medicine. Because experience cannot be used to judge a product. So it cannot be said that any ready-made ointment is used. Otherwise your account will be blocked.

Keep some common foot medicines at home.
