There are many diseases of the foot, but in the case of athlete's foot, more than 40 kinds of fungi including trichophyton are the main causes. Ointments, creams, etc. are usually used to treat athlete's foot, but there have been problems in that it is not easy to treat as a form that is effective for certain causative bacteria. In addition, since it is difficult to know what bacteria causing the athlete's foot, unless it is closely examined, the reality is that it is difficult to treat with drugs such as ointments and creams.

The composite optical module 200 of the present invention is configured to irradiate the skin with light of various wavelengths such as ultraviolet rays in order to effectively treat such bacterial-induced diseases including athlete's foot.

The composite optical module 200 includes an LED or a laser module. The LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is a kind of semiconductor device, and emits light when a voltage is applied in a forward direction. LEDs have various wavelengths of light emitted according to light emitting materials and can be easily configured, and thus they are used in various ways from lighting to therapeutic devices. In addition, it is known that there is a variety of therapeutic effects in the light of a specific wavelength range clinically, for example, 620 ~ 640nm wavelength has the effect of cell regeneration, elasticity and wrinkle improvement, aging pants etc., 820 ~ 840nm wavelength anti-inflammatory effect, Wound healing, pain treatment, cellulite treatment is effective. In addition, the wavelength of 310 ~ 330nm is known to be effective in the treatment of atopy, the wavelength of 420 ~ 4400nm is effective in the treatment of acne and keratosis (keratosis). In addition, ultraviolet rays having shorter wavelengths than visible light are widely used for bactericidal effects. In addition, the laser is used in laser hypertonic pharmachological lypolysis, which is effective in lipolysis, and is also used in the steaming using an infrared wavelength laser.

As such, LEDs or lasers of various wavelengths are used for therapeutic purposes. In the past, LEDs or laser modules were sometimes used to treat skin or pain, but they were not used in the form of wearing on the feet. It was conventional to be used for physiotherapy. In addition, although it is common to use a single wavelength band for a specific purpose even in the conventional physiotherapy, the composite optical module 200 of the present invention complexly arranges two or more LED or laser modules for irradiating light of different wavelength bands. For example, if you need a paste for sterilization and pain relief of athlete's foot fungi, the LED module for irradiating light in the ultraviolet wavelength range and the laser module for irradiating light in the infrared wavelength range are appropriately arranged, so that the paste for sterilization and pain relief of athlete's foot fungus is simultaneously applied. It can be done.
