Chapter 817: Treatment of beriberi

In Western medicine, tinea pedis, caused by a fungal infection, often occurs unilaterally (i.e., on one foot) and then reaches the opposite side after weeks or months.

Blisters mainly appear on the ventral and lateral sides of the toes, most commonly between the three or four toes, and can also appear on the soles of the feet, which are deep vesicles that can gradually coalesce into bullae.

Skin lesions in tinea pedis are characterized by well-defined borders that can gradually spread outward. Due to the progression of the disease or scratching, erosion, exudate, or even bacterial infection, pustules may appear.

Tinea pedis is a skin disease of the foot caused by a pathogenic fungus and is contagious. Tinea pedis is endemic worldwide and is more prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions.

In our country, the incidence of tinea pedis is also quite high. There are no sebaceous glands between the soles of the feet and toes, so there is a lack of fatty acids that inhibit the skin filamentous fungi, and the physiological defense function is poor, while the skin sweat glands in these parts are very rich, sweating more, coupled with poor air circulation, local humidity and warmth, which is conducive to the growth of filamentous fungi.

In addition, the stratum corneum of the skin at the sole of the foot is thicker, and the keratin in the stratum corneum is a rich nutrient for the fungus, which is conducive to the growth of the fungus.

The clinical appearance of tinea pedis is blistering, peeling or white and soft skin between the toes, erosion or skin thickening, roughness, and cracking, and can spread to the plantar and edges of the feet, with severe itching.

It can be accompanied by local purulence, redness, swelling, pain, inguinal lymphadenopathy, and even secondary infections such as calf erysipelas and cellulitis.

Ringworm of the hand (goosepaw wind) occurs when the itchy area is scratched with the hand. When the fungus grows on the nails, it becomes onychomycosis (nail fungus).

Fungi prefer humid and warm environments, hot and sweaty in summer, and those who wear rubber shoes and nylon socks provide a hotbed for fungi;

In Wen Feijing's case, because it has been five or six years before and after, it also belongs to a class of incurable skin diseases.

As for why she was infected with this tinea pedis, either at first, it may have been transmitted from other people, and because of her environment, as well as the food she ate, the treatment before and after a long time had no effect.

Now Ye Chen is already aware of Wen Feijing's situation, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the occurrence of this disease is related to the stagnation of dampness and heat in the patient's body and the perception of external evils.

Under normal circumstances, the spleen is mainly transported, and the spleen is derelict in its duties, and the water and dampness will stop inside, and the internal dampness will be accumulated for a long time and turn into heat, and the dampness and heat will be betting, and the external evil will be induced. Therefore, in view of Wen Feijing's condition, dehumidification, detoxification and insecticide are mainly used in the treatment.

Now that Ye Chentong has finished reading it to Wen Feijing, it won't take long before and after, so he can naturally prescribe medicine for her.

When Ye Chen asked Liao Bingxue to bring him a piece of paper, Ye Chen looked at her again and asked, "How old are you this year?"

As a female star and a public figure, it seems that every move is secret. For example, now when Ye Chen asked about Wen Feijing's age, the other party and the agent naturally seemed very vigilant, thinking what he wanted to do?

"I need your age to prescribe you a good amount of herbs. Ye Chen said. Seeing the other party's vigilant look, I don't know what it means to live normally?

"I'm 24 years old, but please don't sue anyone else. Wen Feijing said.

"This is also said in the contract, if you break the law, we can go to court and sue you at that time. The agent Lin Yanan was still not at ease, and looked at Ye Chen and added.

"I'm just treating you, I'm not going to say anything else, and I'm not that interested. Ye Chen said.

Now that he knew this, Ye Chen wrote directly on the blank paper: "Wen, female, 24 years old, has intermittently eroded her feet for five or six years. ”

"Initial diagnosis: The patient has been blistered, swollen, erosive, itchy and watery on his feet for a long time for five or six years, and he cannot walk during the strict period. In the summer, the special strict zhòng. Before and after, after a lot of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, and even surgical excision abroad, the effect is not obvious. Recently, because I was wearing long boots, my feet were itchy and the smell was worse after a long rehearsal. ”

"Examination: The patient is in pain, his feet are swollen, there is erosion between his toes and the soles of his feet, running water does not stop, there are multiple red lines extending to his feet on the surface, and when he takes off his shoes and socks, he can smell a strong smell of athlete's foot. Pulse: Number of strings. Tongue image: The tongue coating is white and thin, and the tongue is red. ”

"Dialectics of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Damp and Heat Betting. Treatment: clear away heat and detoxify, strengthen the spleen and promote dampness. ”

"Prescription: 15 grams of gall grass, 50 grams of Yin Chen, 15 grams of Zexiao, 15 grams of Mutong, 15 grams of Zhu Ling, 25 grams of psyllium, 15 grams of Zhu Chu, 15 grams of hyssop, 50 grams of honeysuckle, 25 grams of Yun Ling peel, 10 grams of tangerine peel. Decoction with water, 7 doses, 1 dose per day. ”

"External use: 50 grams of Xanthium fungus, 50 grams of Cnidium monnieri, 25 grams of Sophora sophora, 25 grams of alum, 50 grams of purslane, 50 grams of ground skin seeds, 50 grams of soybean grass, 50 grams of hibiscus bark, decoction water to soak feet. ”

After Ye Chen finished writing these and checking them, and found that there was no problem, he could naturally directly hand over the prescription to Wen Feijing. It's just that Ye Chen knows that, in fact, if he wants to make Wen Feijing's foot faster, he actually has a better way.

Wen Feijing took the prescription over, and after seeing that it was all for internal Chinese medicine decoction and external medicine for foot soaking, she didn't know how effective this prescription was for the time being.

Still, she asked, "Is there a better medicine?"

"You have been damp and hot for many years, and you need to drink Chinese medicine to recuperate. As for whether there is a better medicine, of course there is. Ye Chen said.

"Then why don't you take it out quickly, you have received so much money from Miss Wen. The agent Lin Yanan said very unhappily.

"Miss Wen, it's not that I don't want to take it out, it's just that I want to make some homemade ointments, which are not sold in the market outside. Even if it were to be made available to you, it might not be until tomorrow at the latest. So, now I'll advise you to go back and drink the medicine first, and soak your feet with a topical prescription. However, I recommend that you stop wearing high heels or sealed boots lately. ”

"Thank you for your advice, I see. Since the ointment won't be available until tomorrow night, I'll ask my agent to come and get it tomorrow night. Wen Feijing still said that.

Now that the prescription has been completed, Wen Feijing and her agent are afraid that they will be photographed by gossip reporters, which will affect her concert and future star career, so after putting on stockings and boots, they came down from the upper floor in pain, and then quietly left at night.

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue had already come down from upstairs, and Liao Lao, who had not yet rested, naturally knew that Ye Chen had finished reading, and asked with a smile: "Ye Chen, what do you think, is this disease difficult to treat?"

"It's not difficult, at most it's an ordinary incurable disease. Ye Chen said.
