Symptoms of tinea palmaris

summary

Tinea manus and tinea pedis is a common disease, which brings great inconvenience to people's life. However, many people do not have a deep understanding of tinea manus and pedis, and often treat it indiscriminately after getting sick, resulting in aggravation of the disease. Tinea manus and tinea pedis is a kind of superficial fungal infection that occurs between palms, plantars, fingers and toes. The main pathogenic bacteria were Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and epidermal flocculent fungi. Tinea manus is called "goose palm wind" in TCM, tinea pedis is also called "foot dampness" in TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is mainly caused by the ascending of damp heat in spleen and stomach along meridians, tinea pedis in hand and tinea pedis in foot, or by the generation of insects by damp heat, or by the infection of epidemic diseases.

In the impregnation type, the skin between the toes (fingers) is white, erosive and impregnated, with clear edges. The impregnated epidermis is removed, leaving moist fresh red skin. Blister type is characterized by blisters on the sole of the foot or palm, or even several blisters fused into larger blisters with clear boundary, no red skin, blisters broken and desquamation.

In the thickened type, the palmoplantar skin is thickened, blisters desquamate in summer, and the skin cracks in winter. The disease is more common in adults, often in summer attack or aggravation, in winter when the climate is dry to reduce or symptoms disappear, so winter is the best time to treat tinea manus and tinea pedis.
