As the weather heats up day by day, many people’s hands and soles will grow some small bubbles, very very itchy, at first we all thought it was foot fungus, and began to rub antifungal drugs, the results found no effect at all. I had to go to the hospital to ask the doctor to see, only to be told: you this long is “sweat herpes”, it turns out that this is not foot fungus, these two look too much alike. So today, we’ll talk to you about herpes sweat. The first thing to understand is what is herpes sweat? Although there is a word “sweat” in the name of herpes, it actually has nothing to do with sweat glands, but rather with allergies. It can be triggered by severe changes in temperature and humidity, excessive stress or frequent contact with cleaning agents, and occupations such as health care workers, hairdressers, housewives, and chefs are all at high risk of acne. In fact, herpes sweat is also a kind of eczema, Western medicine is called sweating bad eczema, non-bacterial non-specific allergic eczema (ordinary people can understand the term, and again a little more common is a form of allergic reaction), in addition and nervousness, emotional excitement, sleep deprivation also has a certain relationship, should not be a fungal infection, our motherland of Chinese medicine is called ” The first is that it is not a fungal infection, but a “nest of ants”, which is considered by Chinese medicine to be the result of dampness and heat, which is not allowed to penetrate and drain, and is injected into the ends of the hands and feet. The second aspect is to understand what are the symptoms of herpes sweat? In the early stages of the disease, small blisters, ranging from one to dozens, usually appear symmetrically (this is the difference between ringworm and tinea capitis), scattered or in clusters on the palms of the hands, fingers, feet, and sides of the toes, accompanied by moderate to severe itching. The peeling can be painful, as well as itchy. It should be noted here that some compulsive people must tear off the dead skin before they can rest, the result of this practice is a comfortable heart, the sick skin can suffer, not only can not get better, but will lead to aggravation and even bacterial infection leading to serious consequences. So it seems no wonder that some people treat herpes sweat as foot fungus. The following we will talk about the treatment of sweat pimples If accompanied by nervousness leading to the onset, you can take some oral vitamin B – a variety of complex vitamin B, vitamin B1, B2, B6, glutamate and other regulation of plant nerves, also has a very good effect. 1, external rubbing sweat herpes early, available glucocorticoid cream or ointment, I have generally used trimethoprim ointment, this is often available in pharmacies for the treatment of eczema and other skin diseases ointment, sweat herpes is also effective, containing the glucocorticoid component of the ointment, such as trimethoprim econazole ointment, compound trimethoprim ointment, etc.. These are all effective. Others, such as Eloxone ointment and Halometasone cream, have effects similar to those of Trimethoprim cream. Eloxone (0.1% mometasone furoate cream) is a medium-acting hormone, widely used in a variety of allergic skin diseases; Eudragol (0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate cream) is a halogen-free, medium-acting glucocorticoid-based topical preparation, which is softer and has fewer side effects; and those with recurrent local peeling and dryness and pain. Topical ointment of 2% to 5% salicylic acid can be applied symptomatically. Ketinf (0.05% fluticasone propionate cream) is a new synthetic topical glucocorticoid that can be used in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis and other diseases. It can also be used for this disease. 2, oral So according to the principle of Chinese medicine identification, you can clear heat and dampness drugs to regulate. In addition to the external environment of dampness and heat, if the gastrointestinal function is poor (spleen deficiency), food can not be fully digested and absorbed, the body’s heat and dampness can not be metabolized and discharged, over time will form a damp-heat body, the reaction in the skin is the growth of eczema, sweat herpes. The Chinese medicine treatment of herpes perspicans should first strengthen the spleen to dispel dampness, and it is recommended to take the four gods soup (Poria, Yam, Gorgonian, Lotus) and other calm ingredients to regulate the spleen and stomach; if the patient’s body water regulation and metabolic function is poor (kidney deficiency), chronic herpes perspicans recurring, can take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan to further strengthen the kidney to dispel dampness, and according to the symptoms add Fang Feng, White Moss Peel, Tribulus terrestris to dispel wind and relieve itching or add wild chrysanthemum to remove wind-heat, lower fire and detoxify. The effect will be better when combined with western medicine topical treatment, inside and outside. Diet seasoning should be light, try to barley, mung beans, buckwheat and other heat and dampness ingredients, and eat more loofah, winter melon, lotus seeds, bitter melon, wild rice and other cool fruits and vegetables, can strengthen the spleen and stomach, clear heat and dampness. The hot and humid body should not eat more mangoes, durian, lychee, longan and other hot fruits; watermelon and other cold melons will hurt the spleen and stomach, so that the body is not easy to expel dampness. Regular work and rest, avoiding late nights, relieving stress and maintaining a happy mood are all very helpful in easing the condition of herpes and reducing the recurrence rate. The proper exercise to increase the body’s sweating ability is helpful for recovery.
