The difference between plantar warts and corns
Toe warts and corns are both skin diseases that occur on the feet, but they are entirely different diseases, and many people easily confuse toe warts with corns. First, the causes of toe warts and corns are different. The occurrence of corns is greatly related to compression and friction, while toe warts are mainly caused by viral infections due to reasons such as low immunity. Secondly, their contagiousness is different; corns are not contagious, while toe warts are highly contagious.
Does tinea capitis itch?
Tinea capitis is a common superficial fungal infection of the skin, divided into types such as yellow tinea and white tinea, which are contagious. Tinea capitis causes itchy symptoms, and in addition to itching, there may also be symptoms such as increased dandruff, and skin discoloration to white or yellow, often accompanied by scales. Once tinea capitis occurs, it is essential to timely treat it with antifungal medications and to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the scalp, developing good hygiene habits. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
Is tinea capitis a skin disease?
Tinea capitis is a type of skin disease, a highly contagious disease caused by fungal infections. It troubles many patients not only because of its high contagiousness but also because it significantly affects the quality of life. The most susceptible group for tinea capitis is children.

Do prickly heat have blisters?
Prickly heat, this disease is divided into many types, including white prickly heat, red prickly heat, purulent prickly heat, etc. The type with blisters belongs to white prickly heat, while other types generally do not have blisters. White prickly heat tends to occur in people with low immunity or those who are bedridden for a long time, especially in areas prone to sweating, where blisters can easily develop. At this time, it is crucial to prevent infection, treat it promptly, and maintain a good prognosis.
Can third-stage syphilis be cured?
Third-stage syphilis can potentially be fatal, but this is not absolute. With proper and timely treatment, it can gradually improve. Third-stage syphilis is the most severe and latest stage of the disease, also known as late-stage syphilis. This stage often affects our skin, bones, cardiovascular system, and even the nervous system. When these systems are affected, corresponding complications can arise. If left untreated, late-stage complications can lead to death. However, if treated early, there is a possibility of cure over time.
Precautions for Skin Allergies
After experiencing a skin allergy, there are many aspects that need attention. First, it is crucial to identify the cause of the skin allergy. Once the cause is identified, one must avoid further contact with the allergen. Secondly, if a skin allergy has already occurred, it is necessary to use some anti-allergy medications for treatment. Thirdly, it is best to avoid eating foods that can easily trigger skin allergies, such as sea fish, shrimp, and crab. Additionally, it is important to always focus on strengthening one's immune system and maintaining a light diet.
Can erythromycin ointment be used for paronychia?
Erythromycin ointment can be used for paronychia. Paronychia is a disease where an infection occurs in the nail groove or the surrounding soft tissue. If left untreated, paronychia can develop into more severe conditions such as subungual abscess. Paronychia often results from injuries such as abrasions, puncture wounds, ingrown nails, or pulling out hangnails. Erythromycin ointment can be used as a topical medication for paronychia, but it is important to keep the affected area clean and dry.
Erysipelas is a disease.
Erysipelas is a type of skin inflammation infection, primarily involving the superficial lymphatic vessels. There are several triggers for erysipelas, such as trauma, surgery, etc. Generally, erysipelas tends to show symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, etc. After contracting erysipelas, erythema often appears within a day, but the boundaries of the erythema are quite clear. Upon examination, an increase in skin temperature and skin tension can be observed. Erysipelas primarily occurs on the face or lower legs.
The difference between prickly heat and allergies
Prickly heat and allergies are two different diseases, each with many significant distinctions. First, prickly heat tends to occur when the temperature is high, the weather is hot, and the body's resistance is low, while allergies are likely to occur when the skin reacts to certain foods, weather conditions, or allergens, causing corresponding skin symptoms. The treatment for prickly heat primarily involves the use of cooling powders applied externally, while maintaining a cool environment and bathing frequently. Allergies, on the other hand, are mainly treated with oral antihistamines.
How to stop the itching from frostbite?
After suffering from frostbite, itching occurs mainly due to the stimulation of peripheral nerves causing an itchy sensation. Therefore, to relieve itching, one can apply some anti-itch creams such as frostbite cream. Saline, ginger, and soap can also be used to alleviate itching by promoting local skin blood circulation and constricting local blood vessels, thus having an anti-itch effect. After frostbite itches, one must not scratch, press, or touch cold water.
