The Chinese New Year is coming up, and many of our friends are planning to use this holiday to go out and travel. Traveling is both a happy and hard thing to do, and you may encounter all kinds of unexpected things when you go out. We would like to remind everyone to pay attention to protect their feet, because a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Whether you are driving, riding in a car or flying, even a little trouble with your feet can make you feel much worse. Therefore, we would like to introduce you to some common problems encountered in the travel feet and simple ways to deal with them. Feet grinding blisters is the most common in travel, the reason is mostly due to walking too long or wearing inappropriate shoes, the local plantar skin is too much abrasion caused by vascular congestion, exudation, accumulation in the epidermis under the formation of blisters, small 1-2 cm, large 4-5 cm, local redness, swelling, slightly hot, painful to the touch obvious. In this case, first of all, try to make the feet rest, avoid long walks, do not wear pointed hard-soled leather shoes and high heels, can be replaced by wearing loose thick-soled travel shoes or casual shoes, padded with thicker insoles or some cotton in the painful area. If the blister is not large, no special treatment is necessary, local cold compresses can be absorbed in a day or two, and will not cause epidermal necrosis and infection. If the blister is larger than 3 cm, with obvious pain and affects the wearing of shoes, appropriate treatment should be carried out. First of all, wipe the local area with 75% medical alcohol or Neosporin disinfectant for disinfection, and then puncture the blister with a fine needle disinfected with alcohol to release the exudate, without peeling the epidermis of the blister, let it adhere to the surface, disinfect it several times a day, and the new skin will grow out of the old skin necrosis and fall off by itself in a week or so. If the local redness and swelling is heavy, to prevent bacterial infection can be taken orally for 2-3 days with vincristine. Another common situation in travel is swelling of the ankle or calf, especially easy to occur in the elderly. This is because sitting, standing and walking for a long time, the venous blood return to the lower limbs is slow, resulting in local bruising and swelling, which is manifested as soreness and discomfort in the ankle or calf, sometimes with numbness and tingling. Should avoid sitting and standing for a long time, often contract the leg muscles or kick the legs, take a break after walking for a period of time, preferably lying flat and elevating the legs slightly above the level of the heart. Massaging the legs every night before going to bed and soaking the feet in hot water to improve circulation is also helpful in reducing swelling. In addition, inflammation and infection of the toes are common. Traveling can reduce resistance, and bacteria between the toes, easy to sweat more likely to cause nail infection. The skin next to the toenail groove is red and hot, swollen and painful, and in severe cases can become pus. You should promptly use 75% alcohol for local disinfection, topical erythromycin or ciprofloxacin ointment, wear breathable shoes and socks. If the redness and pain are severe, you should also take Pioneerin or Azithromycin orally. Sprain or even fracture of the foot and ankle is a more serious case. Generally, minor sprains only cause mild local swelling and pain, which can be treated with local cold compresses within 24 hours, followed by warm compresses and topical application of Fotalin or safflower oil, and the swelling and pain will subside significantly in 2-4 days. If the post-injury swelling and pain and activity restrictions, or simple treatment does not reduce and aggravate, there may be ligament damage or fracture, this should be promptly to the local hospital for examination, in order to avoid delaying the disease and delayed treatment.
