Can people with flat warts eat eggs?
Flat warts are caused by a viral infection, and it is safe to eat eggs, which are not contraindicated. Treatment should include antiviral medications and immune regulation to support symptomatic relief. Flat warts commonly occur in children and young women and are mostly found on the face and extremities. It is important to use sunscreen, maintain skin cleanliness, avoid scratching to prevent the spread of the virus, and disinfect clothes and surrounding objects. Oral medications such as pidotimod granules, thymosin enteric capsules, and spleen peptide lyophilized powder can be used, along with topical treatments like interferon gel and miquimod cream at the site of the lesions. Photodynamic therapy for the skin, which involves applying a photosensitizer weekly and using appropriate light sources for irradiation, is an additional treatment option, typically administered in three sessions per course. Pre-treatment methods such as scraping off the wart may be performed before photodynamic therapy. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
Can athlete's foot blisters be popped?
The term "athlete's foot" refers to the common name for tinea pedis, a skin infection caused by dermatophytes. It can manifest as various types of skin lesions, such as blisters. In cases like blistering athlete's foot, it is important to enhance local cleanliness of the blistered area while avoiding harmful actions such as forcibly picking or squeezing, to prevent secondary bacterial infection of the wound. Symptomatic treatment with antifungal agents is necessary, including oral itraconazole capsules and other antifungal medications. For topical treatment, applying a wet compress of boric acid solution followed by triamcinolone acetonide econazole cream, or a compound Cannale cream can be used, but these should be applied for a short term only. If symptoms improve after three to five days, the treatment should be switched to antifungal creams such as ketoconazole cream or terbinafine cream, with a treatment period of at least two weeks.
What should I do if my athlete's foot is very itchy?
Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, can manifest as intense itching of the skin. First, it is necessary to enhance the cleanliness of the foot skin, avoid various irritating causes, and provide standard and effective antifungal symptomatic treatment. Oral antifungal medications such as itraconazole or terbinafine can be used, and various antifungal ointments can be applied to the affected area, such as the commonly used naftifine-ketoconazole cream, terbinafine cream, luliconazole cream, and miconazole cream. The treatment should last more than two weeks to avoid the recurrence of symptoms. Everyday, it is necessary to frequently change shoes and socks, maintain dryness, ventilation, and good breathability, and avoid dampness. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
Causes of itching on the lower legs in summer
The causes of itchy skin on the lower legs during summer are usually related to various factors such as sun exposure and sweating. Diagnosed as summer dermatitis, it is necessary to apply sunscreen and provide symptomatic treatment with anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itch measures. Avoid irritating factors such as scalding washes and scratching, as well as excessive use of soaps. Furthermore, after bathing, it is timely to use medical skincare products, such as soft moisturizing cream or anti-itch moisturizing lotion, to maintain hydrated skin. Oral administration of drugs like levocetirizine tablets, moisturizing and anti-itch capsules, and vitamins is recommended. Topical applications in the itchy areas of the skin can include moisture-removing anti-itch cream or compound heparin sodium cream. Avoid the use of hormone-based medications as much as possible to prevent side effects such as hairiness and skin atrophy.
Can urticaria papulosa be washed with sulfur soap?
Papular urticaria is an allergic reaction caused by insect bites, which can cause severe itching. Sulfur soap, which acts as an antibacterial, antifungal, and degreasing agent, is not effective in relieving itchiness from papular urticaria, and therefore its use is not recommended. Enhancing skin cleanliness and providing symptomatic anti-allergy and itch-relieving measures are advised. Oral medications such as ebastine tablets, Jinchanchu Itching Granules, and prednisone acetate tablets can be taken. For the skin areas affected by insect bites, topical applications like fluticasone propionate cream or compound clobetasol propionate cream can be used, and the general course of treatment should be controlled within one week. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
Can iodophor treat athlete's foot?
Athlete's foot, commonly known as tinea pedis, is an infection caused by dermatophyte fungi. Antifungal medications are required for symptomatic treatment. However, iodophors, as disinfectants, do not have a therapeutic effect on athlete's foot. Daily enhancement of foot hygiene, frequent changing of shoes and socks, and maintaining a dry and ventilated environment are important. Laboratory examinations, including scraping skin scales from affected areas for microscopic examination of fungi, are necessary. A positive laboratory result further supports the diagnosis of tinea pedis. Treatment involves the application of antifungal creams such as naftifine and ketoconazole. To adequately control symptoms and prevent recurrence, it may be necessary to take oral antifungal medications, such as terbinafine hydrochloride tablets, itraconazole dispersible tablets or capsules, for a treatment course of more than 2 weeks. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
The fastest method to treat erysipelas
The fastest and most effective method for the treatment of erysipelas is systemic medication. After a penicillin skin test, administer intravenous penicillin antibiotics. If the patient is allergic to penicillin, switch to clindamycin injections for intravenous infusion. The treatment course is around 10-14 days, and requires bed rest with elevation of the lower limbs. Examine whether the primary lesions are combined with tinea faciei or tinea pedis, avoid picking the nose and feet, which can cause skin trauma and other inducement factors, and enhance skin cleanliness. Apply magnesium sulfate injection solution externally to the affected area, and treat the symptoms of the primary lesions, such as applying ketoconazole cream to the lesions caused by tinea pedis. (Please follow medical advice when using medication.)
What should I do if I have severe athlete's foot?
The so-called athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, is an infection caused by dermatophyte fungi. It requires symptomatic antifungal treatment, enhanced cleaning of the foot skin, frequent changing of shoes and socks, keeping the feet dry, and oral antifungal medication. Before taking the medication, it is necessary to test liver and kidney function and peripheral blood count. If there are no contraindications to medication, drugs such as oral terbinafine hydrochloride tablets and itraconazole dispersible tablets may be prescribed, along with topical antifungal medications like naftifine ketoconazole cream, luliconazole cream, or miconazole cream applied to the affected area. The treatment should follow the principle of adequate dosage and duration. Typically, the course of treatment needs to last three weeks or more to achieve a complete cure. (Please follow the doctor's orders when using medication.)
Will acne with pustules leave scars?
Pustular acne is considered a relatively severe type of acne. Without standardized and effective treatment, coupled with poor management such as scratching with hands and other adverse stimuli, it can lead to facial scars or acne pits. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance skin moisturization and sun protection, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and use medical skincare products such as acne clearing and scar diminishing creams, and acne repair serums. Oral medications such as Tanshinone IIA sulfonate capsules, Icariin tablets, and Vitamin A acid capsules, along with topical applications of Fusidic acid cream, Vitamin A acid cream, or Adapalene gel, are used. Additionally, physical treatments like fruit acid peeling and phototherapy with red and blue light are employed to provide anti-inflammatory effects and improve abnormal keratinization. (Note: Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
How is flat wart caused?
Flat warts are caused by a viral infection, with HPV as the pathogen. They commonly occur on exposed areas such as the face and the backs of the hands, and are most frequently seen in adult women and children. It is necessary to strengthen immunity and provide symptomatic treatment. When necessary, physical treatments can be used to promote the disappearance of the warts, such as the commonly used methods of liquid nitrogen freezing or laser treatments. Oral administration of thymopeptide enteric capsules or pimecrolimus granules can also be used. For particularly stubborn cases, in addition to the support of traditional Chinese medicine, treatment may also need to include skin photodynamic therapy. This involves a basic treatment course of once a week for three continuous weeks, applying a photosensitizer to the affected area followed by exposure to a certain light source.
