What to do if pregnant women have severe athlete's foot

1. Pay attention to cleaning. Pay attention to foot cleaning, soak your feet frequently, keep the skin dry, wash several times a day, change shoes and socks frequently, and try to dry them in the sun.

2. Choose suitable shoes and socks. It is not advisable to wear non-breathable shoes such as sports shoes and hiking shoes. Socks should be made of pure cotton with good breathability to avoid excessive foot sweating and aggravated foot odor.

3. Eat a light diet. During pregnancy, the diet should be light and low in salt, and stay away from spicy and irritating foods. Do not eat foods that easily induce sweating, such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, etc.

Does athlete's foot in pregnant women affect the fetus?

If you have athlete's foot during pregnancy, it is usually treated with topical medications, and then keep your feet clean and dry. Be sure to wear cotton socks and breathable shoes. This will have no effect on the fetus, so pregnant mothers do not need to worry. However, it should be noted that pregnant women with athlete's foot should follow the doctor's advice and not take medication at will.

Can pregnant women use Pikangwang?

The answer is no. Pikangwang is suitable for patients with tinea corporis, tinea manuum, tinea pedis, and tinea cruris, and its symptoms include itching, inflammation of skin lesions, papules and blisters, etc. The mechanism of action of Pikangwang is mainly to highly selectively interfere with the activity of fungal cytochrome P-450, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol on the fungal cell membrane. Clobetasol propionate is a potent topical corticosteroid. It acts quickly and has strong capillary constriction and anti-inflammatory effects. Patients with viral infections such as herpes, chickenpox, etc., as well as pregnant and lactating women, should not use Pikangwang.

Regarding this issue, there are clear regulations in the product instructions. Due to the special conditions of pregnant and lactating women, it is easy for them to have adverse effects on the fetus through the mother and on the baby through breast milk. Therefore, Pikangwang should pay special attention to the fact that it is prohibited for pregnant and lactating women to use it.

Therefore, pregnant mothers need to be careful during pregnancy and not use Pikangwang without authorization. For the healthy development of the fetus, please be cautious. If you need to use this type of medicine, please go to a professional hospital for professional consultation.
