The mushroom of the skin on the legs in the photo and in life seems ugly.It creates many problems not only with appearance, unpleasant smell and constant discomfort, but can cause serious fungal infections that spread far beyond the foot.
What the mushroom does on the legs, fingers, nails in the photo
The appearance of the mushroom is diversified: it depends on the type of pathogen, on the characteristics of the skin, on the statute of the limitations of the disease, on the conditions in which the patient lives, the characteristics of his hygiene regime.The main areas of location of the lesion are nails, folds between the fingers and the sole.
The affected nails (onychomycosis) usually have a disordered yellow appearance, an irregular edge, greater fragility, due to which they crumble.Often the nails become convex, but this also happens in a non -uniform way.
Intermediate folds are an area in which high humidity is almost constantly preserved.They are affected by people who wear uncomfortable or non -correspondent meteorological shoes.With constant secretion of sweat, the reproduction of the mushrooms is activated and red spots appear, which remind the scratches, the crusts of the yellowish papacy, the blood wounds with a white raid.
The injury of the sole is characterized by the peeling of the skin on the entire surface, enlarged, stratified.At the same time, inconveniences may occur during the walk, an increase in sweating, which stimulates even more the growth of the mushroom.
Types of legs of the legs
The mycosis (fungal diseases) of the legs are manifested due to the fact that they are caused by various pathogens.Depending on the type of mushroom and the characteristics of the patient's skin, different types of disease are distinguished.
Rubricfitia is called tr.Mentagophytesvar- An extremely contagious mushroom that lives in wet rooms (public bathrooms, swimming pools).A feature feature is the peel and the redness of the skin, the swelling of the legs, the itching and the combs, bleeding occurs easily when damaged.
Candidosis is an infection from a mushroom of the candid genre, which is the most common pathogen mushroom.The defeat of folds and interdigital soles is characteristic.There is a serious itching, pain, peeling of the skin.Under exfoliate stairs, you can see erosion with a white raid.
Onychomycosis is the damage to the nails, which can have various severities.The skin lesion, less deep than Rubrofitius, is called Epidermophytia.It is characterized by unexpressed swelling, but remarkable peeling of the skin.
Development phase
Regardless of the type of pathogen, the mushroom takes place in its development several phases:
| The initial phase | The pathology is similar to the stratified of the legs: itching, dryness and peeling of the skin, small cracks appear, it is possible to swell. |
| The central phase | Active exfoliation of large layers of the skin, the appearance of spots of various shades, serious swelling, itching and maceration (comb) on the skin. |
| Severe stadium | Deep cracks from which blood can be released, abundant exfoliation of the skin, the appearance of deep skin defects and outbreaks of secondary infection. |
The bankruptcy lesions proceed according to a similar scheme: at the beginning the edge of the nail plate is influenced, so the gray routes appear all over the nail, the nail thickens, becomes fragile, changes color (yellow, black or black).
Symptoms of mushroom diseases of the legs
The most surprising symptom of fungal damage to the foot is a serious itching.In the early stages of the disease, it is present only when you walk or find in uncomfortable and "incomplete" shoes in which sweating is stimulated.So it becomes constant and very strong.The water or pumice procedure can alleviate the condition, but their effect is temporary.
The second bright symptom is skin peeling.It is expressed, sometimes it reaches catastrophic proportions, when large strata of the skin are exfoliated.But it can be less pronounced in nature: the constant exfoliation of the stairs, which captures an increasing area of the foot.
Changing the shape of the nails with onychomycosis: the nails become thick and fragile.The layer located under the nails (hyperkeratosis) crumbles when the nails are cut.In some cases, it is possible to loosen the nail in the nail bed, in difficult situations - loss.A new nail in its place grows with hyperkeratosis and "paths", an irregular shape.
The initial phase
The mushroom of the skin on the legs, whose photo can be seen later, stands out for gradual development.Therefore, in the early stages, the disease may not occur in any way.The first signs are quite non -specific: itching during prolonged walk, swelling the skin, the appearance of peeled stairs on the soles.The nail fungus does not manifest itself for a longer time than a mushroom of the skin.
Some signs with which you can suspect the mushroom:
- The condition of the skin worsened after the swimming pool, the sauna, the gym or any other place with high humidity and a large number of visitors;
- The itching intensifies into a humid environment;
- The pigmentation of the skin has changed: stains have appeared;
- Peeling takes place irregularly along the whole foot, focusing more in the area between the fingers and the sole;
- Similar symptoms are observed simultaneously between different people who have visited places of possible infection together or live in the same apartment.
Interdalz form
This form is the most unpleasant for the patient.The main location of the lesions are the folds between the fingers, most of the time 3 and 4 of the finger suffer, less often - the fold between 1 and 2. This is associated with the characteristics of the structure of the sole.For the mushroom, the conditions of high temperature and humidity are optimal, while the slightest exposure to the air or mechanical factors that can eliminate the mushroom.
These conditions are created in the fold between 3 and 3 fingers, the least mobile of all.
Characteristic symptoms: itching and burning at the place of injury, the appearance on the skin of the lesions that recall the rubbing, with the progression of the disease, become inflammatory ulcers covered with white coating.Touching them is extremely painful, the symptoms of the disease have improved in the heat, in uncomfortable shoes and with an increase in humidity.
How the squamous-Siperkatotic stadium is manifested
This phase is characteristic of the diseases that affect the only one.Its most vivid symptoms are expressed, its excessive keratinization.The soles seem rude, the sensitivity of the skin decreases, touching it becomes unpleasant.The stairs are exfoliated by large layers or vice versa, their separation occurs with difficulty, while the skin is possible.
On the feet affected by mushrooms, seeds, seeds and other pathological phenomena they present themselves more easily.Walking becomes uncomfortable: during a long -term stay in shoes, itching and leg pain intensify.
Dyshidrotic stadium
It is characterized by a change in sweating.None of the types of mushrooms can settle in the sweat gland, but indirectly, which affects the epidermis, the inflammatory process interrupts sweating.
The peculiarity of this form is the formation of great blisters on the skin, which easily merge together.Very often, the disease begins with a back -back -back ball and acquires a serious course as progress.
The second feature feature is an abundant sweating and an unpleasant smell of the legs.On the sole there are apocrine sweat glands (distinguishing thick sweat), this explains more clear than in open areas, the smell even in healthy people.Due to the mushroom, sweating increases, therefore, the smell increases.
