Fungine infections occur in different ways and can influence a series of organs and parts of the body.The most common aspect is the mushroom of the legs.The rate of diffusion of the infection is individual in every single case and depends on a series of factors: the resistance forces of the immune system, such as pathogen and lifestyle and patient age.
In addition, the concept of legs of the legs is extendable, because the disease can touch the foot, fingers or space between them or the nail plate.In every single case, there are effective individual ways to combat the mushroom.
The main symptoms of fungal infection
Before starting the treatment, it is necessary to carefully diagnose the disease.In some cases, the therapy remains useless for a long time due to the fact that the symptoms of fungal infections are similar to the manifestations of psoriasis or bacterial infection (streptococcus, staphylococcal infections).
The best option to determine the disease is a laboratory analysis of the separate piece or a skin (nails) to the lesion.This method allows not only to eliminate a particular pathogen, but also to determine its sensitivity to one or the other drug.
If it is not possible to visit the laboratory, you can see a photo of the fungus on the internet on the internet and compare yourself with your case.
Signs of the disease
You must also know its main features:
- itching;
- skin peeling;
- the appearance of small cracks;
- wet injuries;
- burn;
- Painful sensation on palpation or walking;
- Specific marcio smell;

With damage to the nail plate, depending on the stadium of the mushroom on the legs you can observe:
- change of color or spots;
- thickening along the edge;
- detachment;
- deformation;
- Distance of PUS.
In the end, it is possible to observe the complete cleaning of the nail.In this case, the treatment does not guarantee that the new nail will have a normal aesthetic form.
Which leads to the appearance of the mushroom
Nobody is safe from the funeral infection infection.As a rule, several basic causes of the appearance of the mushroom on the legs are distinguished, including both factors of the human environment and internal processes in the body.
But as a rule, the disease makes itself felt, when at a certain moment several triggers interact with each other, they can be attributed to them:
- in the long term wearing the same pair of shoes;
- Visit public bathrooms, saunas, swimming pools;
- infection through pedicure tools;
- use of other people's shoes or socks;
- a long period of antibiotic treatment;
- violation of the integrity of the skin;
- Seasonal decrease in immunity or against the background of HIV.
Risk group
There are also groups of risks of people exposed to fungal infections:
- patients with endocrine disorders (diabetic, patients with thyroid disorders);
- people with excess weight;
- Sweet lovers;
- Infants for artificial feeding.
Mushroom treatment
To avoid recurrence, doctors recommend resorting to complex therapy, that is, using drugs directly in the damage and inside area.How to treat the mushroom on the legs mainly depends on the stadium of its diffusion.
In advanced cases, drug therapy is often proved to be an impotent and painful section of the foot is cut with a surgical method.That's why it is important to start treatment as soon as possible, with the appearance of the first symptoms.
To understand how to effectively fight the mushroom at home, you must remember the following rules:
- In no case they do not take antibiotics;
- It is not possible to independently remove the dead areas and try to remove the PU (these procedures must be performed exclusively in sterile conditions of the clinic);
- You cannot use cosmetics (decorative nail polish, scrubs, moisturizing creams to stop)
- It is strictly forbidden to make a pedicure of the salon (medical).
Traditional treatment methods
Traditional therapy methods suggest the use of antifungal external drugs, tablets, immunostimulants and mushroom paint.
The treatment is performed for a long time and usually lasts a few weeks after all the symptoms of the disease have disappeared.
In cases where the foot mushroom is observed, antifungal drugs are applied only after removing the keratinized cell layer.
This procedure must be carried out very carefully so that the cells of the infected epithelium do not spread in the air, furniture and clothes.
The keratinized areas are removed using special tools that make the skin soft.First, the leg must be kept in hot water, after applying the ointment and leave it for a while (3-4 hours).
Some of the above drugs can cause allergic reactions.In the case of the latter, doctors prescribe antihistamine (anti -allergic).
