Patient's question:
Yesterday, I used the Chinese herbal powder I bought online to soak my child's feet, and my hands and whole body started itching terribly. Scratching made red and white spots appear. This is the medicine. What should I do now? My feet are itchy all over, and I can't sleep.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you; tinea manuum is primarily transmitted through direct contact with tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea capitis, or through the spread of tinea unguium and tinea corporis on the back of the hands. The causative agent of hand is mainly Trichophyton rubrum. To prevent hand, attention should be paid to hand hygiene in daily life. After contact with tinea pedis, hands should be washed frequently, and the tinea pedis should be treated with medication to eliminate the source of infection. Personal hygiene should be maintained, and public items such as slippers, footpots, and towels should not be used. Shoes, socks, and foot towels should be sterilized regularly to keep the feet clean and dry. This is because sweat glands are stimulated, promoting the secretion and excretion of sweat, which creates a favorable environment for the susceptibility of epidermal molds.
