It is not an incurable disease! What should we do about beriberi and eczema?

In daily life, men's feet are prone to problems, such as beriberi, etc. Because the feet sweat a lot, it is also easy to cause eczema. At this time, many men think that eczema causes beriberi or beriberi causes eczema, so they use the same method to treat these two different diseases. This approach is obviously incorrect.

Eczema mistaken for foot ulcer

There are many patients with eczema who treat eczema as foot itch. In summer, some people's hands and feet secrete a lot of sweat because of their well-developed sweat glands. Especially the feet, if they wear non-breathable shoes for a long time, they will itch and develop blisters. In this case, many people mistakenly think it is foot itch, but it is actually eczema. Wearing non-breathable shoes, coupled with hot weather, the feet are in a very humid state, and over time, eczema is naturally caused. As for the material of shoes, experts recommend that leather or cloth shoes should be selected. These two materials have good breathability, which can keep the feet dry in summer and reduce the chance of dermatitis and tinea pedis.

Eczema is not an incurable disease

Eczema, especially chronic ones, is often not cured after years of treatment, and patients often lose confidence. In fact, eczema is not an "incurable disease". The causes of the disease are extremely complex, which brings difficulties to treatment. Patients should cooperate with doctors to build confidence in recovery, avoid various suspected pathogenic factors as much as possible, avoid mental tension and excessive fatigue in life, do not eat chili, fish, shrimp, crab or strong tea, coffee, alcohol, and do not use silk, wool and chemical fiber products for clothing and bedding. Keep bowel movements smooth and get enough sleep. Pay attention to skin cleanliness and moisturizing in winter. These can reduce the recurrence of eczema.

Shoes selection

As for the material of shoes, leather or cloth shoes are recommended. These two materials have good air permeability, which can keep feet dry in summer and reduce the chance of dermatitis and tinea pedis. Especially for people who sweat easily, plastic shoes should be avoided as much as possible. Eczema patients can improve their diet: barley stewed with lean meat soup, barley and red bean porridge, etc. At the same time, eczema patients should try to avoid external irritants and local irritation, do not scratch, do not rub hard, do not use hot water and soap to wash; do not drink alcohol, do not drink strong tea or coffee; do not eat sour, spicy dishes or other irritating foods. During the outbreak of eczema, avoid eating foods that are easy to cause allergies, such as yellow croaker, shrimp, and seafood.
