The cause of rotten feet is due to epidermal fresh fungus, Trichophyton, or Trichophyton toes invading the toes. Trichophyton rubrum has strong resistance and is not easy to control. Aggregation without scattering, resulting in dry and moist skin. Rotten feet have thick cuticles, lack of sebum, rich sweat glands, sweating, and wet feet, which are conducive to mold growth and reproduction. They are also vulnerable to infection when using public baths, public slippers, foot basins, and towels.

The appearance of the special skin area of the rotten feet is obviously because there is a metabolic disorder of certain nutrient elements here, and it has lost its resistance to the fungus. Because of this fundamental point, the fungus can parasitize here to reproduce and cause disease. Because of this, they can be infected and infected by fungi.

(1) Blister type: In the acute stage, the skin may show exudative vesicular damage with redness, mostly scattered, and if there is erosion, secondary bacterial infection can often occur. When the blisters are small but not ulcerated, you can take Yikang tincture, clotrimazole ringworm medicine or soak it in 10% glacial acetic acid solution for 20 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day. If the blister is large, it can be punctured to release the blister fluid, and then administer the compound leizoxin tincture or add moisturizing powder. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, you can soak it with a 0.5% potassium permanganate solution, and then apply the drug after the infection is controlled.
