Treatment of blister-type athlete's foot

Many patients with tinea pedis panic and choose no medicine because of the unbearable itching. In fact, the treatment of tinea pedis is not to apply only one antifungal ointment from beginning to end, but different medicines should be selected according to the blister type, thick skin type, erosion type, etc. The most important thing is to clean the wound and keep it dry before using the medicine, so that the effective ingredients of the medicine can reach the lesion directly.

Use "medicated blisters" for thick skin type. Thick skin type tinea pedis usually occurs on the heels, and is characterized by thick, dry skin that is easy to peel or crack. This type of tinea pedis is difficult to penetrate by simply applying topical ointments. It is best to dissolve salicylic acid or other drugs in warm water and soak the skin to accelerate the softening of the stratum corneum and allow the drug to quickly reach the deep layers of the skin. Each soaking time is 10 to 15 minutes. Too long a time may damage the normal skin tissue.

Choose "cream" for the blister type. The characteristic of blister type tinea pedis is that it is very itchy. Small blisters will appear around the toes at the beginning. Do not scratch or prick the blisters at this time to prevent secondary infection. Use cream for medication selection and avoid using alcohol preparations such as athlete's foot water to avoid causing allergic reactions. Antifungal drugs are recommended for this type of tinea pedis in the early stages.

If you suffer from tinea manuum and tinea pedis at the same time, you must treat them together and use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, and be careful to ensure a sufficient course of medication.

For the erosive type, use "lotion" first. The symptom of erosive tinea pedis is that the skin becomes soaked and white, and then slowly peels off. It will also feel very itchy. It is not recommended to use soaking liquid for this type of tinea pedis. Because once there is a ulcerated wound between the toes, the soaking liquid may make the wound ulcerated worse or even cause bacterial infection.

It is also not recommended to use ointment directly, as this will make your feet worse. The correct way is to use lotion and pay attention to protecting the wound surface, avoiding washing with water and using soap. Keep the affected area as dry as possible before using antifungal ointment to prolong the time the drug stays on the body surface. Finally, put on antibacterial and anti-odor socks to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the feet and avoid reinfection.
