Tinea manus refers to a fungal skin disease that occurs on the palm of the finger. Tinea manus is called "goose's paw wind" in Chinese medicine.
The cause of the disease is that fresh epidermal bacteria, Trichophyton or Trichophyton pedis invade the toes. Trichophyton rubrum has strong resistance and is not easy to control, and it is complicated with Wei Qi and body fluid. Gather but not disperse, resulting in dry and moist skin.
The clinical characteristics of tinea manuum are that the initial damage is located on one side, and small blisters appear on the curved surface of the finger tip. After drying, they desquamate and gradually spread to the palm or adjacent fingers. The skin at the desquamation area becomes thicker and thicker, and the dermatoglyphics are wide and deep, losing its normal luster and softness. The boundaries are clear, and the blisters merge with each other. After rupture, the blister wall is not easy to fall off to form collar-like annular scales. When the weather is dry in winter, cracks and pains occur in the finger tips and joints, which can make tinea manuum eczema after being stimulated by chemical substances.
