Tinea pedis, commonly known as foot ulcer, is caused by fungal infection. The skin damage often occurs on one side first, and then infects the opposite side after a few weeks or months. The blisters mainly appear on the soles and sides of the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes, and can also appear on the soles of the feet. They are deep small blisters that can gradually merge into large blisters. The skin damage of tinea pedis has a characteristic that it has clear boundaries and can gradually expand outward. Due to the progression of the disease or scratching, erosion, exudation, or even bacterial infection, pus and blisters may occur.

According to the condition, tinea pedis is divided into water-blister type, erosive type, and scaly keratotic type. It is mainly caused by external dampness, wind poison, or eating greasy food, which causes dampness to accumulate and generate heat, which flows into the legs and feet and causes the disease. The main symptoms are numbness, soreness, weakness, and swelling in the legs and feet. The treatment should focus on promoting circulation and expelling dampness, or combined with methods such as expelling wind and heat, regulating blood and promoting qi.

Vinegar and garlic foot soak to get rid of beriberi

The principle is to use the acetic acid contained in vinegar to kill fungi. It has a certain therapeutic effect on beriberi when used in combination with garlic. However, acetic acid and garlic are more irritating to the skin. If the skin is more ulcerated, it should be used with caution. The original recipe mentions that "beriberi can be cured in one day", which is an exaggeration. It is recommended that if there is no special discomfort, it can be used continuously for a week to have a certain effect. Wearing cotton socks, washing feet frequently, changing shoes, and doing some exercise to expel moisture from the body will help treat beriberi.
