Introduction

Under normal circumstances, Wet-Toxin-Clearing Capsules (Wet Toxicity Clearing Capsules) may have a certain auxiliary effect on tinea cruris (jock itch), but they cannot completely cure the infection and should be used in combination with other targeted treatments. In daily life, patients with tinea cruris should keep the affected area dry and clean, avoid scratching, change clothing frequently, and wash and disinfect clothing separately. At the same time, reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods and maintaining a regular作息 (sleep-wake cycle) can help enhance skin resistance and promote recovery.

Generally, Wet Toxin Clearing Capsules (Shiduqing Capsules) may have a certain auxiliary effect on jock itch (tinea cruris), but cannot completely cure it. Specific treatments targeting the underlying cause are required. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Wet Toxin Clearing Capsules primarily consist of ingredients such as Rehmannia root (Rehmannia glutinosa), Chinese angelica (Angelica sinensis), and Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), and have functions of nourishing the blood, moistening dryness, dispelling wind, and relieving itching. They are suitable for treating skin itching symptoms caused by wind-dryness due to blood deficiency. Jock itch is mostly caused by fungal infection, manifesting as redness, flaking, and itching in areas such as the groin and genital region. Wet Toxin Clearing Capsules can help alleviate itching to some extent, but they cannot directly kill the fungus.

If jock itch is treated solely with Wet Toxin Clearing Capsules, it may be difficult to eliminate the root cause, potentially leading to recurrence or worsening of the condition. Furthermore, if there is significant skin damage, excessive consumption of the capsules may cause local discomfort due to irritation from the medication's components. Therefore, it is necessary to use antifungal medications for targeted treatment.

In daily life, patients with jock itch should maintain dryness and cleanliness of the affected area, avoid scratching, change clothing frequently, and wash and disinfect clothing separately. At the same time, reducing intake of spicy and irritating foods and maintaining a regular lifestyle can help enhance skin resistance and promote recovery.

Will taking Shimai Qing Capsules cause weight loss?

Taking Wet Toxin Removing Capsules will not directly cause weight loss, as it is not a weight-loss medication. However, if body edema caused by excessive dampness subsides, there may be a slight decrease in body weight. In daily life, to control body weight, one should focus on a balanced diet, reduce intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods, and consistently engage in moderate physical activities such as running or swimming to burn calories and reduce fat.
