Foot fungus can affect anyone with feet. Although this is the purest person, obsessed with hygienic procedures.
Why does the fungus appear on the feet and how to deal with this unpleasant disgusting phenomenon?
How does foot fungus develop?
Even if a person washes his feet constantly and regularly, he cannot wash all the bacteria away from them. They just get smaller, but they don't completely disappear. And they multiply very, very quickly, as soon as a person steps on the floor, puts on slippers or - even more favorable for bacteria - shoes, boots or sneakers.
In a hot, humid environment, especially if your feet sweat, the fungus is just lying flat. If such an environment coincides with the inflammatory process in the body, poor resistance to infection or excessive sweating of the legs, write everything down. The mushroom is right there.
Symptoms of the fungus on the feet
It affects the area between the toes, on the nails, on the soles of the feet and the top of the foot remains intact. If the fungus already has a chronic stage, the skin on the legs and other parts of the body is very dry, flakes off, has keratinized skin flakes, microfractures.
Along the border of the area where the fungus is located, an inflamed red stripe is clearly visible, behind which the skin is rough, dry and scaly.
If the fungus has not been treated for a long time, rather noticeable cracks appear on the skin behind the fungus area, which are terribly painful. If a bacterial infection is added, severe pains appear in the legs, which puts a person on a hospital bed, as it is impossible to walk due to these pains.
Is the fungus transmitted from another person?
There is a widespread belief (and many believe it) that the fungus is transmitted from person to person, that it can become infected. True, if a person has already received a fungus, it very quickly spreads over the entire foot area.
To prevent the process from becoming painful and depriving a person of the ability to walk, it is necessary to start treating the fungus at the initial stage of the disease.

How to treat acute fungus?
First of all, you need to apply a sterile bandage on the foot, but not very tight. In pharmacies, an infusion against fungi is sold - in the language of doctors, it is called antifungal, that is, antifungal. With this infusion, it is necessary to moisten the bandage and apply it to the affected area of the fungus.
This operation must be repeated every time as soon as the bandage is dry. When you see that the fungus has not covered the foot so intensely, its manifestations begin to subside, you should not stop antifungal compresses. Otherwise, the manifestations of the fungus will return again. If there are cracks in the legs, it is necessary to protect them from the penetration of pathogenic bacteria by bandaging the affected area.
During the treatment, it is very important that the feet are not exposed to high temperatures and that water does not enter them - this contributes to an even greater spread of the fungus. In addition, the surface of the feet must be dry and clean.
It is also necessary to treat the foot, using vitamins and take antifungal agents (antifungals). At the same time, you should not neglect the recommendations of the doctor - he will advise you what funds are needed for treatment. A person can get sick with a fungus if they forget to wipe their feet after washing - a humid environment promotes rampant infections.
What can you wear on your feet with a mushroom?
If a person, suffering from foot fungus, still goes to work and the season is cold, it is worthwhile to stock up on several pairs of socks or tights (for women), several pairs of socks (for men), which they need to be changed 3-4 times a day. This will prevent the further spread of the infection. What the patient puts on his feet must be made of natural materials, including shoes.
Shoes should not be tight, not tight, comfortable - this will allow the foot to feel comfortable and the skin should not sweat so often, multiplying bacteria and fungi.
