Tinea manus refers to a fungal skin disease that occurs on the fingers and palms. Hand tinea is called "goose palm wind" in Chinese medicine.
The cause of the disease is that fresh epidermal bacteria, Trichophyton or tinea pedis invade the toes. Trichophyton rubrum has strong drug resistance and is difficult to control, accompanied by Wei Qi and body fluids. Gather but not disperse, resulting in dry and moist skin.
The clinical feature of tinea manuum is that the initial damage is located on one side, and small blisters appear on the fingertip surface. After drying, they will peel and gradually spread to the palm of your hand or adjacent fingers. The skin at the desquamation area is getting thicker and thicker, and the dermatoglyphics are wide and deep, losing their normal luster and softness. The boundaries are clear and the blisters merge with each other. After rupture, the bubble wall is not easy to fall off and form collar-shaped annular scales. When the weather is dry in winter, cracks and pains appear in fingertips and joints, which can cause tinea manuum and eczema after being stimulated by chemicals.
