What are the symptoms of keratotic tinea pedis

Keratotic tinea pedis is highly contagious, so we need to take precautions, especially between the fingers, which can easily lead to an increased incidence due to sweat and moisture, and symptoms such as blisters, peeling, and itching may occur.

1. Keratotic tinea pedis is caused by fungal infection and is contagious. It often occurs between the fingers, toes, palms, and soles of the feet, and sometimes spreads to the backs of the hands and feet. The incidence rate is higher in sweaty and humid places such as between fingers and toes, hands and soles of feet. Keratotic tinea pedis is also called athlete's foot. At the beginning, it is mostly needle-sized blisters. The blisters continue to appear, causing waves of itching. A small amount of transparent exudate may be produced after scratching. The skin peels off after a few days, and blisters will appear again a few days after peeling. Keratotic tinea pedis is caused by fungal infection and is contagious.

Keratotic tinea pedis is relatively stubborn and highly contagious and must be treated thoroughly.

3. Generally, for dry type, apply athlete's foot lotion, and for wet type, apply athlete's foot ointment. Use it once in the morning and evening every day. If you use the ointment, wear clean socks at night to avoid contaminating the bedding. When the itching is severe, do not scratch it with your hands, but massage to relieve the itching. Keep applying the medicine for about a month until the local skin no longer peels. When the weather turns warmer the following year, if you find blisters and peeling on the affected area, you need to apply the ointment for another 2-4 weeks. Prick the small blisters with a sterilized needle and then apply the ointment for a better effect.
