What to do with rotten feet, how to treat it

Sore feet are a very common symptom in life, and such diseases can be contagious. To treat foot rot, we must first identify the type of disease. Common types include blister type, immersion type, scaly keratosis type, etc.

The cause of foot rot is due to the invasion of the toes by epidermal fungi, trichophyton or trichophyton pedis. Trichophyton rubrum has strong resistance, is difficult to control, and is associated with the Wei Qi and body fluids. It gathers and does not disperse, causing the skin to become dry and moist. Sore feet are caused by thick stratum corneum, lack of sebum, abundant sweat glands, excessive sweating and moist feet, which are conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi. It is also easy to infect each other when using public baths, public slippers, foot basins and towels.

Classification treatment

(1) Blister type: In the acute stage, the skin may develop acute reddening exudative blister lesions, which are mostly scattered. If there is erosion, secondary bacterial infection may often occur. When the blisters are small and have not ruptured, you can apply Yikangyao or Ketrimone anti-tinea lotion or soak in 10% glacial acetic acid solution for 20 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day. If the blister is large, you can puncture it to release the blister fluid, and then apply compound leisuxin ointment or add moisture-relieving powder. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, soak it in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution and apply medicine after the infection is controlled.

(2) Immersion type: It often manifests as cracks in the webbed toes, accompanied by epidermal exfoliation and moist immersion, severe itching, and easy infection. You can use Moqiling medicine powder or compound Leisuoxin ointment, Kemei anti-tinea syrup, or Yikan anti-tinea syrup. After the exudate is reduced, use Moqiling ointment, Xuandi ointment, Miconazole ointment, etc. for treatment.

(3) Squamous keratotic type: Extensive desquamation occurs due to excessive keratinization of the soles and edges of the feet. Clusters of blisters often appear in the summer, while they become dry, cracked and painful in the winter. You can use compound benzoic acid ointment, clotrimazole ointment, or use it alternately with tinea lotion. In summer, you can soak in 10% glacial acetic acid solution once a night for about 15 minutes each time.
