White vinegar treats athlete's foot

Athlete's foot is not unfamiliar to most people, especially male friends. Of course, this sentence does not mean that our female friends will not get athlete's foot, but it is much less common than men. Once a person gets athlete's foot, he will feel very uncomfortable, so most people will think about seeking treatment after getting athlete's foot. However, there are too many medicines on the market for treating athlete's foot, and many people will also think of using some folk remedies to treat athlete's foot, such as using white vinegar to treat athlete's foot.

I believe many people have never heard of the method of using white vinegar to treat athlete's foot. Because for most people, they only know that white vinegar can be used as a condiment. In fact, there are many functions of white vinegar, and treating athlete's foot is one of them, and the effect of white vinegar in treating athlete's foot is quite good. So, let’s talk about the specific method of using white vinegar to treat athlete’s foot.

The steps for treating athlete's foot with white vinegar are as follows: First, add white vinegar to water and wash your feet. Later, simply use a cotton swab dipped in white vinegar to apply it directly to the affected area of ​​athlete's foot. Some people's athlete's foot is erosive, so it will be particularly painful, but the more painful it is, the more you have to persist. You can dip a cotton swab in white vinegar and press it on the affected area to allow the white vinegar to penetrate into the dermis. Do not wash with water after application, put on socks directly to keep your feet in an acidic environment.

Tinea pedis (commonly known as "athlete's foot" or athlete's foot) is caused by fungal infection. The skin damage often occurs on one side (i.e. one foot) first, and then infects the other side after several weeks or months. Blisters mainly appear on the soles and sides of the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes, and can also appear on the soles of the feet. They are deep small blisters that can gradually merge into large blisters. A characteristic of the skin lesions of tinea pedis is that they have clear boundaries and can gradually expand outward. As the disease progresses or scratching occurs, erosion, exudation, or even bacterial infection and pustules may occur.

Tinea pedis is a contagious skin disease of the feet caused by pathogenic fungi. Tinea pedis is prevalent throughout the world and is more common in tropical and subtropical regions. In our country, the incidence of tinea pedis is also quite high. There are no sebaceous glands on the soles of the feet and between the toes, and thus a lack of fatty acids that inhibit skin filamentous fungi, and the physiological defense function is poor. However, the skin in these areas is rich in sweat glands and sweats more frequently. In addition, the air circulation is poor and the local area is humid and warm, which is conducive to the growth of filamentous fungi. In addition, the stratum corneum of the skin on the soles of the feet is thicker, and the keratin in the stratum corneum is a rich nutrient for fungi, which is conducive to the growth of fungi.

prevention

1. Pay attention to cleanliness, keep your skin dry, keep your feet clean, wash several times a day, and change socks frequently.

2. Foot basins and foot towels should be used separately to avoid infecting others.

3. It is not advisable to wear non-breathable shoes such as sports shoes and hiking shoes to avoid excessive foot sweating and aggravated foot odor. People with tight spaces between toes can use clean gauze or cotton balls to sandwich the toes or choose split-toe socks to facilitate moisture absorption and ventilation.

4. Do not eat foods that can easily cause sweating, such as hot peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, etc.

5. The mood should be calm. Excitement and agitation can easily induce sweating and aggravate tinea pedis.

6. Tinea pedis is a contagious skin disease. You should avoid scratching to prevent self-infection and secondary infection.

Therefore, in the future, our athlete's foot patients can follow the detailed steps of treating athlete's foot with white vinegar introduced above, and I believe that after some courses of treatment, their athlete's foot should improve. In addition, friends with athlete's foot should pay attention to the following points in their daily lives: pay attention to cleanliness, wear less sports shoes, do not eat chili peppers, onions and garlic, do not pick your feet, etc.
