Once the disease occurs, patients often feel unbearable itching, red spots and scaling appear between the toes, and in patients with severe symptoms, the entire sole of the foot will become red and peeling. Athlete's foot not only seriously affects the patient's daily work and life, but is also easily transmitted to others. However, not many patients seek treatment for athlete's foot. Zhao Junying, director of the dermatology department of Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that most patients with athlete's foot come to the hospital for treatment when their symptoms are severe. In the early stages of the disease, when symptoms are mild, they usually use some folk remedies for self-treatment. Using traditional methods to treat athlete's foot can sometimes relieve the itching, but it will never get rid of the root cause. Moreover, some local methods can cause allergic reactions due to their high irritation. If you apply garlic to the affected area, it will cause the affected area to become red, swollen or even watery, aggravating the condition. Therefore, Director Zhao reminds patients with beriberi that once symptoms of beriberi occur, they should receive treatment as soon as possible. Early treatment not only requires less medication, but also facilitates recovery. Once the condition worsens, treatment becomes more difficult. Judging from clinical manifestations, athlete's foot can be divided into three types, and treatment methods vary depending on the type. When patients have symptoms of peeling and cracks on their feet, they belong to the dry keratosis type. For such patients, the main medications should be creams and ointments; You cannot use overly irritating or ointment drugs like patients with dry keratosis. Instead, you should dry the affected area first, and then use powder drugs for treatment. There is also a type of patients who belong to the intermittent type, that is, some The parts are dry and peeling, and some parts are eroded and watery. At this time, medication should be used according to the specific situation. In addition to medication according to the type, patients should also take medication for a full course of treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Many patients with athlete's foot only focus on taking medication during the acute phase and stop taking the medication once the symptoms are relieved. However, athlete's foot is a disease that is very easy to relapse. No matter which medication the patient uses for treatment, they must persist for a sufficient course of treatment to completely eliminate athlete's foot. . Tips for self-treatment of foot odor 1.
