For the treatment of tinea pedis, different treatment schemes should be selected according to different types. If there is erosion and exudation between the toes, it is not allowed to use irritating drugs for external use. It is best to let the wound converge and dry before taking the medicine. You can use potassium permanganate solution to wet compress first, and then use antifungal ointment when the rash is dry.
If the skin is severely keratinized and thickened, and it is difficult for antifungal drugs to penetrate and absorb, you can use 10% salicylic acid ointment or compound benzoic acid ointment to soften the keratin first, and then apply antifungal drugs externally.
If complicated with bacterial infection, antibacterial drugs should be used externally to control the infection.
When intractable tinea pedis has no contraindications, oral antifungal drugs, such as terbinafine, itraconazole and fluconazole, should be taken, but attention should be paid to the adverse reactions of drugs and monitoring of liver function.
Because the metabolic cycle of the skin is about 28 days, it is necessary to insist on taking medicine for more than four weeks. It is best to carry out fungal examination and culture, and it can only be cured if it is negative for three weeks in a row.
