In summer, your feet stink. Is this beriberi?

Foot odor and beriberi are not the same thing.

In summer, many people’s feet are especially fond of sweating, so the foot odor is so prevalent and diffuses…

If you have foot odor, at most you will fumigate a person. Beriberi seems to be more torturing.

For people with beriberi, beriberi:

The itching makes people mad. May cause onychomycosis, tinea manuum, tinea corporis, etc. It is easy to relapse.

For people who do not have beriberi for the time being… you may be infected with beriberi by others.

What shall I do? Look down and teach you how to treat beriberi and prevent beriberi.

Foot odor ≠ beriberi

The main culprit of foot odor is foot sweat.

After sweating, some bacteria on the feet decompose some substances in the sweat, thus metabolizing some substances with special smell. What will occur next, as everyone knows.

As for beriberi, it is essentially a fungal infection. This fungus is common in nature and people, and it is easy to infect each other between people.

From the appearance, beriberi is generally divided into 4 types.

Warm Tip: The following brings your own picture feeling.

1. Inter-toe beriberi

The main manifestations are itching, erythema or peeling and soaking between the toes. When cracks occur between the toes, there will also be pain.

2. Hyperkeratinized beriberi

When this kind of beriberi occurs, it can be found that the skin at the corresponding part of the sole of the foot is very thick and sometimes there are cracks.

3. Blister beriberi

It is manifested by the growth of some small blisters, which often appear on the side of the sole of the foot. After the blisters rupture, clear liquid may also flow out.

4. Ulcer beriberi

This kind of beriberi is relatively rare and serious, manifested as erosion or ulcer between toes.

No beriberi? Precaution

If you find that you don’t have beriberi, you are allowed to steal for a while, but you still need to pay attention to prevention.

After all, beriberi is still very contagious.

Prevention of beriberi mainly starts from eliminating the source of infection and blocking the transmission route of beriberi.

1. Eliminating the source of infection

If you have onychomycosis yourself, you should cure it completely. If your family has beriberi or onychomycosis, they should also be treated.

In addition, if you have small animals at home, remember to give them regular physical examination and disinfection treatment.

2. Blocking the transmission route of beriberi

Avoid sharing towels, shoes and socks among family members as much as possible. When in public areas such as gymnasiums, pools and public bathrooms, it is best to bring your own slippers and other equipment.

Attention should also be paid to one thing: try not to go to pedicure shops or pedicure shops and other places that are prone to fungus infection.

Beriberi? Must be treated

Once the fungal infection spreads to the toenails, onychomycosis (commonly known as onychomycosis) will follow.

When it spreads to other parts of the body, skin diseases such as tinea manus and tinea cruris will occur.

Therefore, beriberi must be treated as early as possible and standardized.

In addition to listening to the doctor and understanding [to be what], one should also know [not to be what].

Wrong Practice 1: Feeding Feet to Soak Foot

Who thought of soaking feet with vinegar, ginger, garlic, tea and other things? Sounds good… … …

To be serious, these unscientific foot soaking remedies have no effect on the treatment of beriberi, and may also irritate the skin, which will make infection more likely to occur and do more harm than good.

Wrong Practice 2: Use Hormonal Drugs

Some people, with a sincere heart to treat beriberi, happily went to the pharmacy to buy some hormone ointment.

Don’t paint! After getting beriberi, external application of these hormone ointments is likely to cause the spread of fungal infection, which will aggravate the symptoms of beriberi.

In addition, there are some [Xiao] ointments on the market that do not have the standard name of Chinese medicine. They are only some disinfection products and are not suitable for the treatment of any skin diseases.

Wrong Practice 3: Don’t Insist on Medication

Some people say that what I applied was the ointment given by the doctor, but why didn’t it work?

Please ask yourself, have you persisted for at least one month? Is there any leakage in the middle? Has the duration of a single smear met the doctor’s requirements?

If you don’t do it, you can’t blame the doctor for not being able to cure it.

Wrong Practice 4: There is no scientific prevention after cure,

Very not easy to cure beriberi, if not continue to prevent, or relapse.

Wrong Practice 5: No Treatment of onychomycosis

Some people have beriberi and onychomycosis. If onychomycosis is not treated in time, the fungi on the toenail will infect the feet, leading to the recurrence of beriberi.
