American Foot Therapy Association experts: change cotton socks every day, clean shoes regularly; blisters damage the skin and accelerate the loss of water in the feet.
With the arrival of winter, the feet are no longer exposed to the public's attention, and some people ignore the protection of them. Dr. Arnold Lavik, a spokesperson for the American Pill Medical Association, recently reminded everyone on the ABC website that winter should pay more attention to the health of the feet.
The fungal infection of the foot can be treated by topical medicine or oral antifungal drugs. The fungal infection of the toenail is more stubborn. You can ask the doctor to remove the infected toenail, but beware of the recurrence. Skin debris and toenail fragments on winter feet tend to stay in cotton socks and shoes. People often wash their feet and cotton socks, but often ignore the sterilization of shoes. Dr. Lavik recommends that patients with fungal foot infections should spray the inside of the shoe at least once a week with an antifungal spray.
The winter climate is dry and the skin of the feet is prone to cracking. To prevent this, Dr. Lavik recommends that the feet be "humidified" once or twice a day: wash your feet with warm water and add a baby cream or moisturizer to the water. Do not use too hot water, it will damage the skin and accelerate the loss of water in the foot. After washing, pat dry with hand and apply moisturizing cream. You can apply more on the heel and the side. Do not apply too much between the toenails and the toes to avoid creating an ideal living environment for the fungus. In order to remove the dead skin on the foot, you can rub the foot once a week with pumice.
If the foot has begun to crack, you can apply Vaseline oil, put on gauze and put on cotton socks before going to bed. If the cracked part is bleeding, apply an antibiotic ointment and apply a band-aid to avoid infection.
