00:00 Meanwhile, many in Calumpit, Bulacan are suffering from the flood in their area.

00:05 Let's update on the spot with Jonathan Andal.

00:09 Jonathan?

00:10 Corny, you know, there are calls for additional medicines

00:17 against the flood and leptospirosis of the people of Ibao and Este in Calumpit, Bulacan.

00:22 I've talked to them, they said their feet are aching and itching

00:26 after six days of flooding.

00:30 The barangay chairman, Zoylo Manyo, said that

00:34 the medicines they were given against the flood and leptospirosis are running out.

00:39 They also need medicines for the flood

00:43 and for the children in their barangay.

00:46 You know, Corny, here in my position, as you can see in our live video,

00:50 the flood is still up to 20.

00:53 But when the flood enters the barangay,

00:56 the flood will reach the tip of the mouth

00:59 because the high tide is following the flood.

01:02 According to Bulacan PDRMO, until this morning,

01:05 there is still flood in Maycawayan, Hagonoy, Bulacan,

01:09 Pulilan, Balagtas, Giginto, Paumbong, Pandi, Bukawe, Plaredel, and Ubando.

01:15 Earlier, Senator Riza Honteveros and Governor Daniel Fernando

01:20 visited here to give relief goods.

01:21 The Governor said that the total amount of relief goods in Bulacan

01:25 is now up to Php 166 million.

01:28 In livestock and poultry, it is Php 18 million.

01:32 The provincial government is calling on the national government

01:37 for a permanent solution to the flood,

01:38 such as the flood management master plan and mega-dike

01:42 that will cover Bataan to Cavite.

01:45 Connie.

01:46 Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.

01:50 And excuse me to all the listeners,

01:53 but we will continue to talk about the Alipunga.

01:56 What can we do about this?

01:59 Let's ask Dr. Stephanie Chua,

02:02 Fellow of the Philippine Dermatological Society.

02:05 Welcome to Balitang Hali, Dr. Chua.

02:07 This is Connie Sison.

02:09 Good afternoon.

02:11 We want to know,

02:13 we always hear that this is caught in the flood.

02:16 But what are the reasons why a person gets Alipunga?

02:21 Okay.

02:22 Why is it a trend when it rains or floods?

02:29 Alipunga is a fungal skin condition.

02:32 Fungal is what we call molds.

02:35 So, when our skin has been soaked in water for a long time,

02:41 it becomes fungus, it becomes molds.

02:44 So, since it's been raining,

02:48 and their feet have been soaked for a long time,

02:50 their feet have been getting fungus for a few days.

02:54 All right.

02:56 Doctor, what are the symptoms of getting Alipunga?

03:01 Yes.

03:02 First of all, they will notice that their feet are getting dry.

03:07 Dry, and then they start to itch.

03:10 And like in the report earlier,

03:12 they itch, especially in the middle of the toes.

03:17 And especially the last two.

03:19 That's the first thing they hit.

03:22 And then when they itch, they scratch it.

03:25 So, when they scratch, that's where they spread it.

03:29 So, when they scratch, they use their hands to scratch.

03:32 And then they touch other parts of the body,

03:34 that's why other body parts are also touched.

03:38 I see.

03:39 So, all right, since you mentioned that,

03:42 there are other people who believe that it's caused by the feet.

03:47 So, again, let's clarify, myth or fact?

03:52 Okay.

03:52 For us, this is just a term used for fungal infection

03:59 that happens in the feet.

04:01 But in other bodies, their feet have a different name.

04:05 So, when they scratch, that's called "had-had".

04:08 But they're all under one roof.

04:11 I see, okay.

04:12 All right.

04:13 It's just that terminology.

04:15 But it's the same.

04:16 But it can be caused physically,

04:20 it can be in the whole body, even in the scalp.

04:24 Okay, now we'll clarify for you if it's a myth or fact

04:29 that it's caused by the feet.

04:32 Is it true?

04:33 It's not true.

04:35 It needs to be treated immediately.

04:39 Because if I leave it, it can spread.

04:41 If the foot gets hurt, it can get infected in your toe.

04:46 So, it needs to be treated immediately.

04:50 What you need to do is to avoid having a second,

04:56 third, or future episode,

04:58 you always need to dry your foot immediately.

05:01 For example, we can't avoid getting wet.

05:06 You need to dry your foot immediately.

05:10 All right.

05:10 Some people say, "I'll rest first, I'll get wet,

05:14 I can't take a bath right away."

05:17 That's wrong.

05:17 You need to dry your foot immediately.

05:20 Okay.

05:21 But do we have home remedies or tips that we can share

05:25 to make our feet heal?

05:29 Actually, because of those home remedies,

05:32 it's getting worse.

05:34 If you remember, the first symptoms they'll feel

05:38 is itching.

05:39 So, what they'll do with home remedies is

05:41 they'll soak it in warm water.

05:45 Sometimes, they'll add apple cider vinegar.

05:48 Those things are getting worse.

05:51 The skin in the middle of the foot's toe gets macerated

05:56 and that's what causes the worst infection.

06:01 So, it's better if you can't go out.

06:05 You can do an online consultation

06:08 to give the right medicine and get it quickly.

06:12 All right.

06:13 Thank you for your advice to us.

06:15 We'll continue with Dr. Stephanie Chua

06:20 of the Philippine Dermatological Society.

06:23 Thank you, doctor.

06:24 Thank you.
