Why is there thick white skin on the soles of my feet after soaking my feet?

The health of the feet is very important to people's bodies, because the feet are the tools for people to walk and stand. The health of the feet can bring stability to people's lives. However, many people have suffered foot damage due to various reasons. For example, why is there thick white skin on the soles of the feet after soaking the feet? Let’s take a look at the simple explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

If there is white peeling on the feet, it is likely a symptom caused by fungal infection, which may be accompanied by symptoms of itching and foot odor.

Treatment for thick white skin on the soles of feet after soaking:

(1) Erosive type: first soak in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution or 0.1% revulol solution, then apply gentian violet or athlete's foot powder twice a day. After drying, apply athlete's foot ointment or tinea versicolor ointment twice a day.

(2) Blister type: Soak your feet in hot water and apply clotrimazole anti-tinea lotion or compound salicylic acid tincture once a day. After the skin is dry, apply athlete's foot cream or tinea pedis ointment.

(3) Keratotic type: Apply compound benzoic acid cream or apply it alternately with compound salicylic acid alcohol, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best to wrap the area with plastic film after applying the medicine so that the medicine can penetrate into the thick skin and facilitate peeling off the thick skin.

(4) In recent years, foot powder has been used clinically to treat various types of athlete's foot, with significant efficacy. Soaking feet once a night will be effective after three times. See instructions for specific usage.

Misconceptions about treating athlete's foot:

Misconception 1: Refusing drug treatment: After the skin is stimulated by these stimuli, the itching becomes more severe, forming a vicious cycle of scratching, the more itchy it becomes, and the more itchy the more you scratch, the more you scratch, until the itching can be stopped by scratching. In this way, the bacteria and dirt on the hands and nails will naturally fall into the affected area, which can easily cause secondary bacterial infection. Therefore, once athlete's foot is discovered, medication should be used for treatment as soon as possible.

Misconception 2: Randomly apply medication: Many people think that they can just look at the advertisements and buy some medicine at the drugstore. In fact, this is very likely to lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Patients should go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for a confirmed diagnosis first, and then receive scientific treatment according to the treatment method recommended by the doctor.
