Remedial measures for Hong Kong immigrants

Hong Kong's foot is a kind of beriberi, medically known as "tinea pedis", which has the highest prevalence rate among superficial mycoses and is a chronic infectious skin disease caused by superficial pathogenic fungi infecting the skin of feet. Why is it called Hong Kong Foot? Because the incidence rate is high in Hong Kong. This has to be pushed back to the time when the British army accepted Hong Kong in the Opium War; These soldiers are used to living in dry England and come to hot and humid Hong Kong. Everyone's feet are out of shape? The unknown soldier mistakenly called it Hong Kong Foot. Later, Taiwan Province Province accepted western medicine, and another accidentally translated beriberi first, which caused everyone to sing "beriberi, beriberi, itching, itching" but could not understand the strange phenomenon of beriberi! What is "Hong Kong Foot"? The correct name for beriberi is tinea pedis. This is caused by the growth of fungi. Symptoms are itchy soles, toes, toes, peeling, redness and swelling, and even edema. If there is bacterial infection, redness, swelling, inflammation and suppuration may occur. Why are there "Hong Kong feet"? The main reason is the wet environment of the feet. May be poor personal hygiene, sweating, wearing shoes for too long, wearing shoes that are too airtight. Sometimes it's the shape of toes. In rare cases, there are physical problems, such as immune system diseases or diabetes. How to deal with "Hong Kong Foot"? Mainly keep it clean and dry. Many tinea ointments on the market are effective, and it is best not to contain steroids. But it's better to see a doctor, because there are many other skin diseases that seem to be "Hong Kong feet". If there is bacterial infection, the doctor will prescribe ointment containing anti-inflammatory drugs, or even take anti-inflammatory drugs orally. You rarely need to take specific anti-tinea drugs. The recurrence rate is very high, mainly depending on whether it can be kept clean and dry. Among folk remedies for beriberi, vinegar is the most widely used and has the best effect. Vinegar can be mixed into two kinds: strong and weak. The thick one is made of half vinegar and half water, and is specially used to wipe feet, feet, heels and other parts with thick skin. Lightly mix three-fifths of water with two-fifths of vinegar essence to wipe toes and delicate parts of skin. Wash your feet before rubbing the medicine, add 20 ml of pure vinegar to the foot washing water, stir well, soak your feet for about four or five minutes, dry your feet, wait for one or two minutes, then put cotton vinegar in a clip and stick it on the affected area once a day, morning and evening, until the white skin on your toes turns yellow and itchy, and your feet and heels no longer peel off, and it will be fine. In order to prevent recurrence, you should continue rubbing for a week or two to ensure that the roots are cut off. The second prescription can also be treated with rice vinegar. Put the heated rice vinegar into the washbasin and soak your feet in the washbasin for ten to twenty minutes. After half a month, you can be cured. Don't soak your feet in vinegar, or the effect will be halved. It's best to dry it with a dry towel and then go to bed. Check the clean water in three and a half washbasins, pour in two or four spoonfuls of iced vinegar, and then soak your feet in the washbasins for one hour, twice a day and change the water once every two days. After five or six days, the toes will peel off and then recover, and there will be no recurrence. The reason why iced vinegar can treat beriberi is to use acid instead of alkali. Because beriberi is alkaline, it can be overcome by the acidity of ice vinegar. The fourth prescription, pour three bottles of white vinegar into a basin, heat it in the stove until your feet can be put down without burning your hands, then take it off and soak it for about half an hour, once a day for about a week. White vinegar can be reused after being used. As long as the consumption is increased, its effectiveness can be guaranteed (synthetic vinegar is ineffective). Five rice bran oil is also effective in treating this disease. First, wash your feet carefully with soap. After drying, you can apply rice bran oil directly to the affected area, which is the most effective before going to bed, because you don't have to wear shoes at that time. Prescription 6: Buy a bottle of Gong Yan, burn it until it is hot, soak your feet in hot Gong Yanli 10 minute, take out alum powder and gently apply it to the affected area, which is effective twice. Prescription 7 Candles are dripped into the affected area of Hong Kong Foot. When it cools and solidifies, the hard wax can be peeled off. Any candle will do. Dropping on the affected area will not itch, and it feels very comfortable. If it hurts when dripping, it means it will get better soon, and about five or six candles can cure it. It should be noted that feet should be washed before treatment, and the corroded parts should be wiped off with a dry towel. Prescription No.8 can also be roasted by fire to eliminate the pain of beriberi. Wash your feet with warm water first and prepare some rolled newspapers. Well, don't roll it too tightly or too loosely, because if it is too tight, it will turn off easily, if it is too loose, it will burn too fast, and the flame will easily burn your feet. Then light a fire with a rolled newspaper, slowly approach the affected area from far and near, slowly move the flame back and forth in the affected area until it is unbearable, and then take it away. You can continue to bake it once a night for five to ten minutes when it doesn't hurt. As for the place where it is not easy to bake between toes, you can use bamboo chopsticks to separate the toes and bake them. The newspaper you use can also be replaced by rough toilet paper or rotten rags, and you should rub tiger balm on the affected area before and after baking. It's useless to rub the tiger balm alone. Some people think that paper is too troublesome, so they can use hemp rope instead. Twist an ordinary hemp thread into three strands, which is about the size of a small chopstick. Light the head of twine with fire and hold its end. When the twine burns black and presents a red flame, blow it out with your mouth, and burn it between your toes or other affected areas with red and black flames. After the dark fire goes out, light the hemp rope and burn it again. It doesn't hurt, but it is more comfortable until it doesn't itch. In short, if you itch, you will burn, and if you burn your feet, you will forget. Hong Kong's feet will be fine. General psoriasis or copper tinea on children's faces can be effective in this way.

In this way, the roots can be cut off in two or three days, and if it is serious, the soaking time can be prolonged or completely cured. Prescription 15: Bite the fruit of raw cassia seed with your teeth and apply it to the affected area. Chinese medicine shops sell dried cassia seeds, but raw cassia seeds are hard to buy and worth a try. Sixteen raw bananas can also wipe Hong Kong's feet.
