2 Will there be any adverse symptoms after soaking your feet in fig leaves?

There are different types of athlete's foot, and the treatments vary. If you use some athlete's foot medicine casually, it may make the condition worse and sometimes even cause new complications, such as skin allergies, contact dermatitis, etc. Therefore, treatment should be based on the different types of athlete's foot.

Papulesquamous type

Daktarin takes effect in one week: symptoms include small patches of erythema, surrounded by papules, which are quite itchy. This type of athlete's foot is the most common. You can use Dakning and Fuqi, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best to wash your feet before applying the medicine so that the medicine can easily penetrate. It usually takes a week to recover, but remember to consolidate the medication for one week after the symptoms disappear.

Hyperkeratosis

The ointment is effective, and patients with this type of athlete's foot generally do not feel itchy; peeling occurs in the summer and cracks appear in the winter. This type of athlete's foot fungus is difficult to "eliminate" because it is in the relatively thick stratum corneum. Topical medications include tinea pedis ointment or 1% to 3% clotrimazole cream.
