What medicine is there for inflamed toenails? What should I pay attention to?

Some patients with blister-type foot odor will experience erosion on their feet because the blisters have burst. If not treated promptly, inflammation may occur, which will create more obstacles to treatment. The correct approach is to take medication in a timely manner to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms.

1. Blister type: In the acute stage, the skin may develop acute reddening exudative blister lesions, which are mostly scattered. If there is erosion, secondary bacterial infection may often occur. When the blisters are small and have not ruptured, you can apply Yikangyao or Ketrimone anti-tinea lotion or soak in 10% glacial acetic acid solution for 20 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day. If the blister is large, you can puncture it to release the blister fluid, and then apply compound leisuxin ointment or add moisture-relieving powder. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, soak it in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution and apply medicine after the infection is controlled.

2. Squamous keratotic type: Extensive desquamation occurs due to excessive keratinization of the soles and edges of the feet. Clusters of blisters often appear in the summer, while they become dry, cracked and painful in the winter. You can use compound benzoic acid ointment, clotrimazole ointment, or use it alternately with tinea lotion. In summer, you can soak in 10% glacial acetic acid solution once a night for about 15 minutes each time.

3. Athlete's foot infection: Because tinea pedis is extremely itchy, scratching may lead to bacterial infection and cause pustules, erysipelas or lymphangitis. At this time, antibiotics such as penicillin, gentamicin, etc. should be used for intramuscular or intravenous injection, and the feet should be soaked in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution and then applied with erythromycin ointment for treatment. After the inflammation subsides, external use of clotrimazole or tinea tinea syrup can be used for treatment.

During the treatment process, everyone should also pay attention to the fact that patients with athlete's foot should eat a light diet, avoid eating irritating foods, avoid excessive sweating of the feet, and wear shoes and socks with good ventilation. In addition, everyone should develop good hygiene habits, especially in hotter seasons, be sure to clean your feet more often, keep your feet dry, and change and wash your shoes and socks frequently.
