Dragon Tiger Network News (Correspondent Yang Jing Reporter Yu Qian) Winter is coming, and all kinds of leather boots in the mall cabinets are the best-selling, which are fashionable and warm, especially favored by young women. Beauty is a woman’s nature, but it is worth reminding that high-barreled leather boots with poor quality often have poor air permeability, and if the sweat cannot be volatilized and dried in time after activity, it will cause a good growth and reproduction environment for anaerobic bacteria and fungi, resulting in tinea pedis.
In order to chase the fashion trend, unexpectedly suffered from athlete’s foot
At the beginning of the new year, in order to pursue fashion, white-collar Miss Gu bought a pair of the most popular leather boots online, which are cheap and good, and she has been wearing them all the time. But in recent days, Miss Sun noticed that the soles of her left foot and the skin on both sides had become particularly rough, thickened and hardened, and at first she only thought it was a callouse, but she did not pay attention to it. But the temperature dropped sharply two days ago, and the dry and hard places on the feet actually began to crack, and Miss Gu, who had never had this situation, muttered, what is going on? In desperation, I can only go to the hospital for consultation.
Ma Xiaoling, director of the dermatology department of Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, found that Miss Gu’s feet were neither calluses nor frostbite, but athlete’s foot. Tinea pedis, caused by a filamentous fungal infection of the skin, prefers a warm, moist environment in which it is easy to multiply, usually in heavy summers and light in winters, or relieved in winter. Director Ma said that when most women choose long leather boots, they like to choose the velvet and thick version, which is very breathable. Not only that, the pile and thickened version may sweat when women exercise a little because they are too warm, and at this time, because they are not breathable, the leather boots will be very damp, creating an environment for fungi to breed, resulting in the occurrence or aggravation of athlete’s foot.
Tinea pedis, unlike eczema, must be treated promptly
“Winter athlete’s foot is not like the summer papules, blisters and even erosions, mostly manifested as rough, dry, thickened, hardened skin of the feet, cracked in severe cases, it is easy to be treated by patients as common winter skin cracks, frostbite.” Director Ma introduced that tinea pedis can occur symmetrically or asymmetrically, and chapped eczema tends to occur symmetrically, and the best way to distinguish between the two is to help confirm the diagnosis through fungal microscopy.
Once you suffer from tinea pedis, you must treat it in time, otherwise, it will not only infect yourself, resulting in tinea manure, jock itch, but also may be passed on to your family. Director Ma suggested that because the skin metabolic cycle is 28 days, it must be continuously used for 1 month, in addition, when choosing shoes, pay attention to whether they are breathable, if the breathability of shoes is not very good, you should change shoes and socks frequently, and often put shoes in the sun to dry in order to sterilize.
How to wear boots scientifically? Take a look at the experts
1. Desiccant. If you don’t wear leather boots often, you can usually put one or two desiccant into the shoes, only in this way can you prevent bacteria in the boots.
2. The waistband of the boot should not be too tight. Wearing boots in winter helps keep your feet warm, as the wind can’t get in. And for most southerners, in fact, buying boots in winter is to prevent the wind from the cold, and in the south basically what makes us eat in winter is the wind, so many times girls who love beauty pay attention not to buy boots when buying boots The waist is too tight.
3. Change shoes in time. After going home, you should change your boots in time to flat shoes, let your feet rest and breathe fully, and never wear boots all day long.
4. Soak your feet. After a day of fatigue, you can prepare some hot water to soak your feet before going to bed at night, which can not only eliminate the fatigue symptoms of the feet but also nourish the body, if conditions permit, you can not add some warm meridian drugs to the foot water, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of the feet and have a restful sleep effect.
