The best way to get the animal out of the soles of the feet is to wash the feet with vinegar and then put a compress of propolis. This will cause the animal to be eliminated, without cutting the skin, with scissors, pliers, needles or other sharp instrument that can infect the feet, aggravating the situation.
In some cases, the physician may recommend the use of medicines and ointments that facilitate the body's own exit or elimination of the foot bug.
Home treatment
The home treatment for footworts should be done in 2 steps:
1. Wash your feet with vinegar and marigold
Marigold and vinegar have antiseptic and antiparasitic properties, helping to combat the footworm, in addition to keeping the skin clean and healthy.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons of dried marigold flowers;
- 60 ml vinegar;
- 100 ml of boiling water.
Method of preparation
The marigold leaves should be added in a container with boiling water, which should be capped until the solution is warm. Subsequently the solution should be poured into a bowl where the individual's feet fit and finally the vinegar should be added. The feet should then be soaked in this mixture 4 to 5 times a day for about 20 minutes at a time.
2. Apply propolis
The second step of the home treatment is to apply the propolis extract directly to the affected region and cover it with a tape, because the propolis extract helps in the disinfection of wounds and accelerates the process of regeneration of the tissues. It is recommended that the application of propolis be done after washing the feet and be repeated at least 4 times a day for about 3 days.
When to use medicine to get the animal out of the way
The use of drugs to remove the foot should be done according to the guidance of the dermatologist and is usually indicated the use of antibiotic medicines in tablet form or in ointment that must be passed in the place where the footwig is housed. Usually the use of the medication is recommended 3 to 4 times a day for approximately 7 days.
However, even if drug treatment is being done as directed by your doctor, it may increase the itching in the area. In these cases, it is indicated to pass a small pebble of ice in the region, because the ice acts as an analgesic, reducing the nuisance.
In order to avoid the entry of new bugs on the skin, it is recommended to avoid walking barefoot, especially in the backyard of the house, on land or in places where there are domestic animals. Here's how to get the foot bug.
Why not use tweezers or scissors at home
It is not indicated to try to get the animal to stand at home because it may contain several eggs inside, and when removed improperly can leave them inside the skin, and cause a lot of itching and infection. The footworm can still carry the bacillus of tetanus and gangrene and cause even more problems when it is not properly treated.
In addition, doing any kind of procedure is contraindicated due to the chance of infection by other microorganisms that may be present on the skin, the environment or even the tweezers and scissors.
