You go to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor says you have Schefflera. You are seeing a Chinese medicine doctor, so that’s why it is called Schefflera. Schefflera is actually tinea manuum.
Tinea of ??hands is a skin disease caused by mold (fungus) infection, mainly caused by infections such as Trichophyton rubrum, tinea mentagrophytes, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Tinea manuum is mainly transmitted through contact. The main triggers include long-term immersion of hands in water, friction and injury, and contact with detergents and solvents.
Suffering from tinea manuum, you must first reduce long-term soaking, keep your hands dry, and prevent the skin from becoming infiltrated and reducing resistance. If you really need to soak in water, you can also wear latex gloves and sprinkle appropriate miconazole nitrate powder inside the gloves. Dry your hands in time after leaving the water. If possible, you can blow dry your hands.
For local treatment, you can apply Huatuo ointment, econazole nitrate cream, miconazole nitrate cream, ketoconazole cream, etc. When necessary, systemic medications may be used, such as oral itraconazole capsules, fluconazole capsules, etc. However, oral medications have greater side effects, so attention should be paid.
