Beriberi is caused by fungal infection, so it is necessary to use fungicidal drugs. Patients with beriberi must be actively treated, otherwise it will cause onychomycosis, or other parts of the body after scratching, causing ringworm. Beriberi can be treated by topical ointment and oral drugs. Commonly used topical ointment has azole, allylamine, thiourea and other antifungal drugs. There are exfoliation and antifungal effects, such as salicylic acid ointment, benzoic acid ointment. Representative azoles include miconazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, bifonazole, etc., with a course of at least 4 weeks. Allylamines include terbinafine, butenafine, naftifine, etc., with a course of at least 4 weeks.
