Is it useful to soak your feet in vinegar?

People who suffer from athlete's foot should not wear shoes that are too thick. Because the feet are in shoes for a long time, it is most likely to cause bacteria to grow, which will cause athlete's foot to become more and more serious. People with athlete's foot should pay attention to the ventilation of their feet. In addition, it is also necessary to soak your feet frequently because soaking your feet can reduce the growth of bacteria through clean water. Let’s find out whether soaking vinegar is useful for foot ulcers.

1. Whether soaking feet in white vinegar can cure athlete's foot depends on a person's medical condition. If the patient only has mild athlete's foot, soaking feet in white vinegar can alleviate the harm caused by athlete's foot. The specific situation can only be judged after a face-to-face consultation with a professional doctor!

2. Folk remedies for treating athlete's foot: soak your feet in ginger, vinegar and salt water

Ingredients: ginger, salt, and aged vinegar.

Method: Put 100 grams of ginger and 50 grams of salt into a pot, add about two bowls of water, boil for 10 minutes, pour into a foot basin, wait for it to cool naturally to a temperature that the feet can accept, add 100 ml of aged vinegar, and soak the affected feet for 30 minutes.

Generally, improvement can be seen after 3 to 7 treatments, but it takes about 1 to 2 weeks for the skin of the feet to return to normal smoothness.

3. The ginger, salt and vinegar in the recipe all have bactericidal effects. The bactericidal effects of these three ingredients separately are not strong, but when combined, they can have a good bactericidal effect. It is best to soak for more than a month, because the fungi on the feet cannot be completely removed in a short period of time. Some of them are even hidden between the toes, which is one of the reasons why athlete's foot is prone to recurring.

4. Everyone must establish a good attitude towards treatment. After suffering from athlete's foot, you should adhere to normal treatment. You should apply some antifungal ointment on a regular basis, and if necessary, you can also take antifungal drugs orally at the same time. Frequent visits to various public places can easily lead to athlete's foot. When you go out, try not to wear public slippers, take fewer saunas, and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is very necessary to develop good hygiene habits.

5. Experts in the field of athlete's foot point out that athlete's foot on the hands is mostly caused by scratching, direct contact transmission such as tinea cruris and tinea capitis, or the spread of tinea onychomycosis and tinea corporis on the back of the hands. The main pathogen of tinea manuum is Trichophyton rubrum. To prevent tinea manuum, you should pay attention to hand hygiene in daily life, wash your hands frequently after contact with athlete's foot, and use medication to treat athlete's foot to eliminate the source of the disease. You should also avoid eating spicy and irritating foods and hair-raising foods, quit smoking and drinking, eat a light diet, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This will be beneficial to the recovery of athlete's foot.

6. Avoid using hot water to treat itchy athlete's foot. Red spots appeared between my toes and they were extremely itchy. I felt much better after using hot water to scald my feet. But after two days, the red spots not only became more itchy, but blisters also appeared. If you suffer from athlete's foot, the "treatment" of using heat to attack the itch will actually delay the disease. Because soaking your feet in hot water can temporarily relieve itching. However, if patients with athlete's foot use this method, not only will it fail to relieve the itching, but it may also cause secondary bacterial infection due to the dilation of capillaries.
