What vitamin deficiency causes athlete's foot

The occurrence of athlete's foot may be caused by the lack of certain nutrients in the body. For example, lack of vitamin B1 may also be the cause of the disease, so you should pay attention to the supplementation of these nutrients. You can eat more foods such as soybeans, oats, wheat, etc.

1. Experts say that beriberi is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin Bl (thiamine). After searching for information, I found that foods rich in vitamin B1 include soybeans, mung beans, millet, coix seed, whole wheat, peanuts, pork, and yeast. The germ and skin of cereals (bran, wheat bran) contain especially high amounts of vitamin B1. However, adding alkali or frying can cause a large loss and destruction of vitamin B1. I use soybeans, mung beans, millet, coix seed, peanuts, oatmeal, pearl barley, wheat rice, etc. to make porridge, so that I can eat the skin of the beans and whole wheat. When eating steamed bread made with whole wheat flour using yeast, avoid using alkali to prevent the loss of vitamin B1 in the whole wheat flour. Through dietary adjustments, my athlete's foot has been basically cured.

2. Diet therapy can play a positive preventive role in beriberi. Pay attention to a reasonable diet. Don't eat only staple foods without eating vegetables. Vegetables, peanuts and lean meat contain more vitamin B1. Don't just eat refined rice and flour, eat some whole grains appropriately, because whole grains contain much richer vitamin B1 than refined rice and flour. People who are losing weight or dieting must pay attention to the amount of food they eat and the combination of food. However, diet therapy is only a general treatment. If you actively treat beriberi, you should also supplement with vitamin B1 tablets in time.

3. Papulosquamous type: Symptoms include small patches of erythema, papules, pain and itching. This is the more common type. There are a wide range of drugs used for treatment, and the purpose of cure can be achieved by choosing one or two antifungal ointments. But one misunderstanding that needs special attention is that many people use steroid ointments when erythematous papules appear on the skin, which results in worsening of the symptoms.

4 Blister type: Generally, needle-sized blisters can be seen in groups or scattered. The treatment can be done by soaking in 3% boric acid solution, 1/1000 acetic acid solution, or 1/1000 lead acetate solution, or fumigating with Chinese medicine decoction once a day for 15 to 30 minutes each time, and then applying antifungal cream externally.

5. Hyperkeratosis type: The main manifestations are thickened keratin, rough and cracked skin. Treatment generally includes ointments, such as compound benzoic acid ointment, 60% lactic acid ointment, and antifungal ointment.
