The clinical manifestations are blisters between toes, desquamation or superficial skin softening and erosion, or skin thickening, roughness and cracking, which can spread to the feet.
It may be accompanied by local suppuration, redness, pain, swollen inguinal lymph nodes, and even secondary infections such as erysipelas and leg cellulitis.
Because the place where you scratch with your hands is often infected with your hands, tinea manus (goose palm wind) occurs. Fungi grow on fingernails and become onychomycosis.
Fungi like humid and warm environment. It's hot and sweaty in summer. They wear rubber shoes. Nylon stockings provides a hotbed for fungi.
In winter, the situation improved and the skin cracked. There are the following types.
1, blister type
Most of them occur in summer, which is characterized by blisters the size of rice grains between toes, foot margins and soles. The blisters are deep, scattered or distributed in groups, with thick walls and clear contents, which are not easy to rupture.
They fuse with each other to form multilocular blisters. When the blister wall is torn off, the honeycomb base and bright red rotten surface can be seen, accompanied by severe itching.
2, erosive type
The local cuticle of epidermis is soft and white. Because of constant friction, the epidermis falls off when walking, revealing a fresh red rotten surface.
In severe cases, it may involve the skin between toe seams and the junction between toe abdomen and sole, with severe itching, mostly between toe seams 3, 4 and 5. Common in hyperhidrosis.
3. Scale keratinization type
Symptoms are thickening, roughness and desquamation of the skin of feet, toes, foot margins and heels, with flaky or fine scales and repeated shedding.
Causes of beriberi
The main causes of recurrent beriberi.
I heard many patients with beriberi complain that after getting beriberi, they can't recover after several treatments, and they always relapse after a while. There are four main reasons why beriberi will recur.
first
Fungi are difficult to kill and can survive for a long time in an environment of about 6℃ below zero. At the high temperature of 120℃, it will not die within 10 minutes.
Toxicity to hair, toenails and dander can be maintained for more than 1 year.
Second point
Some beriberi patients are treated with drugs that inhibit fungi, and they stop taking drugs when their symptoms improve slightly. In fact, the fungus has not been completely killed, and it will "make a comeback" after a while, causing "recurrence".
the third point
After some patients are cured, they may suffer from beriberi again because they don't pay attention, use slippers, pots, towels and other items with other beriberi patients, or come into contact with fungi in specific occasions such as swimming pools. This is the so-called "reinfection".
Fourth point
Some patients do not go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital after getting sick, but buy some anti-inflammatory drugs and apply them themselves. Although this can temporarily relieve itching and cause the illusion of improvement, it has no antifungal effect.
Bacteria can not be killed, but will be more rampant, which will interfere with or even prevent local immune response.
The root cause of beriberi
People who drink a lot of milk and eat meat obviously lack vitamins, so beriberi patients are extremely low.
Children have a strong ability to metabolize nutrients. Due to the difference of female endocrine structure, there are great physiological differences between men in Huasong, and beriberi patients are not high.
Obviously, adult men who live on polished rice have obvious vitamin A deficiency.
It causes sub-health in the special skin area of toes, and there is obvious metabolic disorder of some nutrients in this skin area, thus losing the ability to resist fungi. Because of this fundamental point, fungi can parasitize here and cause diseases.
It is precisely because of this that we are infected and infected by fungi.
This phenomenon is not isolated in the human body, such as recurrent oral ulcers.
At the same time, it was found that the local lack of vitamin B in oral mucosa led to the loss of immunity (resistance) to oral ulcer virus.
Directly deliver nutrition to oral mucosa or activate its nutritional metabolism ability, restore immunity, and ulcer virus does not need to self-extinguish.
Obviously, as long as it can promote the nutritional metabolism of toes, a special skin area, and restore the resistance to fungi, fungi do not have to die out on their own.
Just like flies don't bite seamless eggs.
On the characteristics of toe skin area from the formation of beriberi.
Because the skin at the toe is a combination of two kinds of skin, it has neither the metabolic activity of porous skin cells nor the resistance of fibrous skin to foreign objects.
Obviously, this is the weak part of the skin, especially when the feet are in a humid environment for a long time, and the skin here is easy to fester or produce deep cracks.
For example, a chef who loves to wear slippers and work in the kitchen, no matter what the staple food is, will easily form beriberi due to the disorder of nutrient metabolism in the skin area.
Traditional Chinese medicine calls beriberi "weak foot".
Fengdu beriberi prescription: "However, the onset of this disease must start from the feet. Because of the swelling of the tibia, people call it beriberi. Shen: Weakness means righteousness.
Antique slow wind, stagnation of disease, also known as foot weakness.
It is caused by exogenous dampness, pathogenic wind and toxic evil, or thick diet, which accumulates dampness and generates heat and drips on legs and feet.
Its symptoms include numbness, soreness, weakness, colic, swelling, withering, or fever, and then attack the abdomen, abdominal heartlessness, vomiting, palpitation, chest tightness, asthma, trance, language confusion and so on.
Treatment should be based on eliminating dampness, or expelling wind and clearing heat, regulating blood and promoting qi circulation.
Commonly used prescriptions such as Ji Ming Powder, Jisheng Binglang Decoction, Ji Fang Drink, etc.
There are records of treating beriberi with soybeans, black beans and red beans in prescriptions such as Elbow Backup Emergency Prescription and Jiqianjin Prescription, which can be used as adjuvant therapy.
Beriberi can be divided into dry beriberi and wet beriberi.
Wet beriberi includes cold-wet beriberi, wet phlegm beriberi, damp-heat beriberi and wet toxic beriberi.
In addition, there are many types of athlete's foot, such as wind-toxic athlete's foot, toxic athlete's foot, athlete's foot rushing to the heart, athlete's foot entering the abdomen, athlete's foot forcing the lungs and so on.
