Many people must have encountered this phenomenon. Whenever you take off your shoes at a gathering, you will smell an unpleasant odor, which is really embarrassing. This situation is what we often call athlete's foot. So can athlete's foot be cured by soaking in hot water? How should athlete's foot be treated? Let's take a look at it together. Can hot water soaking feet remove athlete's foot?Athlete's foot is mainly caused by fungal infection. We all know that fungi and bacteria are very resistant to high temperatures. The boiling point of hot water in our home is 100 degrees Celsius. Sometimes the temperature of hot water boiled at home is basically above 95 degrees Celsius due to some external environmental factors, which does not reach the standard boiling point at all. Fungi and bacteria generally have a temperature resistance of more than 800 degrees Celsius, so we cannot meet the requirements. In addition, our temperature resistance is very low. We can't even stand 80 degrees Celsius, let alone 100 degrees Celsius and 800 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is impossible to cure athlete's foot with hot water. How to cure athlete's footBecause athlete's foot is caused by dermatophytes, the first priority in treatment is to eliminate the pathogens. According to the clinical type, severity, comorbidities and patient compliance of athlete's foot, topical medications, oral medications or a combination of the two are selected. Currently, commonly used antifungal drugs include: azoles, acrylamides, thioureas, morpholines, pyrrolidone, etc. Among them, acrylamides and azoles are the most widely used in clinical practice. Commonly used azole drugs include miconazole, econazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole and bifonazole; acrylamide drugs include terbinafine, butenafine and naftifine. What are the folk remedies for treating athlete's foot?1. Salt and ginger waterBoil the salt and ginger water until the water temperature is not hot enough to soak your feet. First, you need to scrub your feet for a few minutes, and then soak them. This method can not only remove foot odor, but also relieve fatigue and relax the body. 2. White radish waterCut the white radish into slices and boil it, then take out the water and wait until the water temperature is not hot enough to soak your feet. Use this folk remedy several times and you will notice a significant relief from foot odor and athlete's foot. 3. Rice vinegarBecause rice vinegar has a good anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effect, you can put rice vinegar directly into a basin and use it. Soak your feet twice a week, and each time should be controlled within one hour. After continuous use, you can obviously find that athlete's foot has improved. |
