Can I use ointment if I have athlete's foot during pregnancy?

Athlete's foot can occur in anyone, mainly because it is contagious. If the patient is an ordinary person, he or she can generally recover as long as he or she receives standardized medication and treatment. However, pregnant women need to be careful when taking medications, as improper use of medications may even affect the development of the fetus. So, can I apply ointment if I have athlete's foot during pregnancy? Let’s take a closer look below.

Can pregnant women apply foot odor cream?

Pregnant women can apply athlete's foot ointment, but it depends on what kind of medicine it is. Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin and thrives best in warm, humid conditions.

Although mild climates may encourage the growth of the bacteria, sweaty shoes and socks are usually the culprit. Once you have athlete's foot, you will need at least a month to treat it. Worse still, they will come back unless you eliminate their source. Athlete's foot will not go away on its own, and if left untreated it can cause the skin to crack, leading to more serious bacterial infections.

Here are some prevention and treatment methods: Xiuzhen Weidaning cream is very effective! Apply it once in the morning and evening! One tube solves the problem! But don't eat spicy, irritating and irritating foods.

Three misunderstandings about treating athlete's foot

1. Soaking your feet in salt water is good for your health but does not cure any disease

Many patients believe that salt has a bactericidal effect and that soaking feet in salt water can improve athlete's foot. Experts say that salt water does have a certain bactericidal effect, but athlete's foot is a fungal infection, and fungi are a type of microorganism, so salt water has no effect on fungi. Of course, soaking your feet in salt water can be beneficial to health just like soaking your feet in hot water, especially hot salt water can promote local blood circulation and help sleep, but neither is effective in treating athlete's foot.

2. Do not apply garlic to the affected area

Some people apply garlic to the affected areas when their athlete's foot becomes ulcerated or even oozing. Allicin can indeed kill fungi, but when the affected area becomes ulcerated, it means that the affected area has been infected by bacteria. At this time, the bacterial infection should be treated first. Applying garlic to irritate the affected area will only make the condition worse. The effect of potassium permanganate water is just the opposite. It works against bacterial infections but has no effect on fungal infections. Therefore, when athlete's foot is ulcerated, you can wash your feet with an appropriate amount of potassium permanganate water under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Applying Fengyoujing will not cure the disease but will relieve itching

After being bitten by mosquitoes, applying Fengyoujing can relieve the itching. Therefore, some people also apply Fengyoujing when they have itchy athlete's foot. Some people even prick the blisters with a needle and then apply Fengyoujing. This method is indeed simple and easy, but Chen Qiang pointed out that Fengyoujing itself has the effect of relieving itching and pain, but it has no therapeutic effect on athlete's foot caused by fungi. Moreover, pregnant women, infants and young children should not use Fengyoujing.
