Nobody wants to hurt.And even more, something that makes you seem unattractive, itching and legs, especially in the summer, will force to blush ugly, covered with spots and the like.Above all painfully, even a slight event will be transferred by teenagers.After all, they are particularly revealing their appearance.But the mushroom is an insidious disease and can influence when they least wait for it.In order not to be captured in its network, it is necessary to know all the ways to identify it, the prevention methods and, above all, the treatment.
The causes of the interdigital mushroom

When the mushroom affects the leg, the question arises for this to happen, what is the reason why the disease hit a healthy limb, at first glance, because nothing has set the problems.The leg seemed healthy and the following moment had already started breaking suspiciously and appeared strange peeling.And now the doctor says that these are not only the deficiencies of the care, but a mushroom.How could it happen, what is the reason?
The first, and most obvious cause, are favorable conditions for the development of yeast fungi, molds or dermatophytes.So the limbs do not have to be diseased in order for a fungus to occur.
Other reasons are also prosaic.I abandon the basic rules of the safe visit of public bathrooms, changing rooms or saunas and in addition to this:
- The body is overloaded, weakened immunity and resists the pathogens "guests" that a person simply does not have the strength, strangely, the stresses and constant loads on the nerves are included here;
- diabetes mellitus;
- Dermatitis and diaper eruption;
- any diseases of the circulatory system, including thrombosis of the veins;
- severe humidity and sweating of the legs, with non -compliance with rules of hygiene and wearing absurdities and socks;
- The elastic touched on the sock, strangely, can also serve as a cause, violating blood circulation in the leg and above all if the adverse shoes are worn.
This mushroom may not be only on the legs.The signs can be found when examining the palm and fingers.
Symptoms
Symptoms, especially at the beginning of the disease, may seem insignificant and do not require particular attention, but cannot be ignored, even if it seems a normal redness or skin irritation, which seems to have no reason.It is necessary to immediately contact a specialist in order to clarify the diagnosis and prescribe the treatment.If there are doubts, you can see a photo with this type of mushroom and compare yourself with what is happening with your legs.The symptoms will be as follows:
- A weak itch appears between the fingers;
- In these areas a peeling intestine appears;
- The skin is inflamed, priests and begins to climb under the fingers and between them;
- There is an unpleasant smell;
- Cracks occur with peeling edges;
- There are wet wounds and cracks.
The disease can only start with one leg, or even from an interdiger space and look like harmless redness or a peeling point.If you notice it in time, you cannot let the overfet will spread and take care of everything quickly enough.
Information options
There are two types of infection with a fungal disease.These are direct and indirect species.Indirect implies the infection through:
- Things of a sick person, this is particularly true when someone is already sick in the family, so it is worth using only their things;
- Things with which sick animals contacted.
Direct vision is understood as such ways of infection:
- Through a walk on the ground without shoes (this will not necessarily lead to a disease, like a walk barefoot on the grass, but care should still be observed, especially if there are microtraumas on the skin);
- through physical contact with a sick person;
- Through contact with an infected animal.
To prevent any of the options, it is enough to observe preventive measures and not leave damage to the skin of the stop.
What are the forms of the disease
There are four forms and phases of fungal damage, characteristics of the interdigital disease:

- Look canceled.The initial phase.The skin dries, covers with cracks, detaching, descends.This happens between the fingers and below them.
- I wait for Dyshidrotic.A heavier form.It has a characteristic feature: the appearance of bubbles filled with liquid, which, in the end, bursts.With this form, the fingers continue a lot.
- Intriguing view.The infection affects the skin not only between the fifth and the fourth fingers, as often happens, but also under the little finger and between the third and fourth finger.The skin between the fingers blushes.
- Aspect of squamine-hyperkeatotic.A distinctive feature is the redness and the presence of seals on the spot of the fingers.These formations are similar to seeds.In this case, the itch becomes almost unbearable.This is considered a rather serious form of the disease.
If at least minor symptoms seem to immediately contact a mikologist or dermatologist.
Measures in the treatment
Mycosis of the toes is not easy and long.To cope with him, you need to take a range of measures.Everything is complicated by the fact that the fungus can be combined with an infection that will perfectly feel the skin on the damaged disease.Outnel, crusts, inflammation and the like, indicate that the fungus is not one.In this case, it is also necessary to use antibacterial and antiseptic drugs.
When it becomes clear that it is a mushroom, all the things that have been contacted with the infected foot must be carefully disinfected and this must be done up to a complete recovery.This is especially true for shoes.Warks, sponges and homemade slippers will have to be thrown away, they cannot get the infection from them and will also transfer them as.
All accessories for the pedicure will also have to be disinfected every time after use and, if it is impossible, when the saw is not metal and not glass, then you will have to say goodbye to this object.The family will have to forget the requests to share scissors or nipper, this can destroy the infection throughout the family.
The bathroom must be washed more carefully than usual, preferably with powerful means.It can also become a vector of mushrooms and will infect each visitor.
Careful removal of the epidermis and nails, if the skin is already leaving, will not harm and the nail applies in any case, but this must be done so as not to damage healthy skin.
Treatment with medicines
The pharmacy medicines, contrary to the internet stereotype replicated, act very effectively.Pharmacists are not in vain to try and develop medicines.
The doctor may prescribe a complex treatment, for example, by taking tablets, ointments and solution.This is the path to the fastest recovery.
Home remedies for treatment
The integration of funds from the home pharmacy is an excellent practice that will provide faster healing.Of course, compatibility should be discussed with a doctor so as not to do worse, but these tactics can significantly accelerate recovery.
Home remedies are recommended in cases where for some reason there is no way to resort to traditional methods.
Before applying one of the methods, it is worth checking if there are intolerance to any of its components or contraindications.A natural remedy does not mean completely safe.
Bathrooms of salt and soda

One of the popular treatment methods is the bathroom with salt and soda.To do this, in a ratio of 1: 1, the ingredients are taken, poured with water, after they dissolve, the legs are kept there for a quarter of an hour.
There is exactly the same recipe, but with the addition of soap for laundry, essential oils are often added to salt and soda.There is no particular difference between the effectiveness between them.
The procedures are sufficient once a day, before going to bed.After each bathroom, be sure to dry the legs thoroughly.
Bathrooms with herbs
Erbe baths will be effective based on decoction or infusion:
- absinthe;
- Veronica Officinalis;
- chamomile;
- St. John's grass;
- horsetail;
- wise;
- eucalyptus leaves.
To do this, prepare an infusion or a strong decoction, mix it with warm or moderately hot water and keep your feet there for ten or twenty minutes.You can add a little salt and melaleuca essential oil to these bathrooms.
For one liter of water you need about two hundred and fifty or three hundred milliliters of decoction.The procedure will be effective if performed regularly twice a day.
Bathroom to iodine
Dilute two teaspoons of iodine in two liters of water, dip your feet in the solution for a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes.The remedy will help better if after such a bathroom you rinse your feet with a herbal decoction.
Lotions with vinegar
A cotton swab, a buffer or disc must be moistened with 9% vinegar and applied to the infected areas.Particular attention should be paid to the little finger and the ring finger.The compress should not last more than five minutes.Then the feet are washed in warm water and therefore the ointments can be applied.
Coffee bathroom
Oddly enough, coffee is also used to treat mushrooms.To do this, brew five tablespoons of ground coffee in one liter of water.When the liquid is infusing, it is poured into a basin and the limbs are kept there for half an hour.The procedure must be performed daily, for a whole month.
Compresses with birch tar
First you have to steam your feet in warm water.Then it is necessary to rub the tar beef in the painful points and leave to act for two hours, covering with a napkin.The remaining mixture at the end of the procedure must be removed, but not washed away.During this procedure, the feet are not washed for two days and the compresses themselves must be applied five times.It is believed that if the mushroom is at the initial stage, he will kill him without drugs.
Rubbing with propolis
To do this, you just need a tincture of pharmacy propolis and a cotton ball soaked in dyeing.It should be used to regularly clean the sore areas, it doesn't matter if it is a nail or skin.The course will last from a week to two months, depending on the severity of the case.
What else to apply
To get rid of the mushroom, they also use bathrooms with hydrogen peroxide, curtain oil and turmeric paste.Special glazes also have healing properties, although in the case of this type of mushroom, its use will only be a prevention so that the infection does not spread to the nail plates, including the hand, the infection, therefore the detachment does not start.
You can use a special pasta, from zinc oxide and salicylic acid, but if it is not something insignificant, then you should not hope for great success.
How to take care of a mushroom in a child
Sometimes you have to treat children.They can be infected by playing in the country and running barefoot, they can bring a disease from kindergarten and schoolchildren from a swimming pool or sports section.In this regard, they are no less vulnerable than adults.Many drugs from pharmacies and popular methods are prohibited for fingers, so the treatment of children is more difficult than adults.Children are treated with more delicate and soft means that will not influence the fragile body and will not poison it.
Experts recommend bathrooms based on herbs, curtains, wormwood and other herbs, if we are talking about very small patients.The treatment should correspond to the scheme when a break is made for the same period every ten days.
There are special medicines that can be prescribed to the child.Therapy should take place from a week to two, using the drug twice a day.
In the case of a children's mushroom, you cannot prescribe any drugs on your own.Only a qualified specialist should do it.
How to be during pregnancy
In addition to normal problems, waiting mothers often have different problems with the mushroom of the legs or arms.This is due to the fact that the body experiences a double load and mainly spends energy on the formation and bearing of the future child.
During pregnancy and during breastfeeding, it is necessary to carefully select the drugs.They should be harmless not only for the mother, but also for the child.Very often folk methods are assigned.But do not forget that they also have contraindications in the form of pregnancy and nutrition.If the doctor prescribes a drug from traditional medicine, then they will not be the most powerful drugs, because those who fight intensely with the mushroom in any case will enter the mother's body, and they will be transmitted from the child.
How this will affect - you can't say for sure, but nothing will definitely come out of it, even when the mother spreads it.
Prevention
For the mushroom, those who regularly visit pools, saunas, fitness clubs and similar places are more vulnerable to the mushroom or are forced to use public showers.In this case, it is worth paying attention to prevention.
- Rubber slippers should become permanent guests of the bag when a trip to a similar place is conceived.
- The legs and slippers should only be with soap or other detergents.
- The feet, and in particular the space between the fingers, should always be dried, dried.
- All shoes should "breathe" and they shouldn't rub or squeeze the leg in any case.
- It is forbidden to take other people's hygiene items - towels, items for leaving the feet.Also, you can't wear someone else's shoes.The same goes for socks.
- If it should be in a hot room for a long time, shoes are needed.
- A healthy diet and a full diet can support immunity and will not allow you to be infected with a mushroom.
- If you need to wear rubber shoes for a long time, for example, in a campaign, you need to take care of the presence of a sufficient amount of clean cotton socks and to rinse regular legs at least water.
- It is impossible to allow the hypothermia of the legs and even their light freezing, and if this has happened, it is necessary to immediately take measures so that the mushroom does not have time to take action.
- If there are problems with immunity, the intake of immunostimulating plant agents will help.Echinacea's extract, Eleutherococcus or Rodiola Roseva are quite suitable.
Conclusion
Any treatment is chosen, the first step should always be a visit to a specialist.This guarantees that the diagnosis will be done correctly and respect for all appointments will lead to a complete cure for the mushroom.Do not rely completely on your strength.A visit to the doctor is problematic and not always a pleasant deal, but often only this is the only one can choose the right treatment.
But the main conclusion that can be taken is to prevent the mushroom is easier and more pleasant than to remove it later.It is not so difficult to bathe for a week once a week, wash your feet with soap and do not irresponsibly refer to the shoes.It is easy to get the child to change better and not share hygiene products with friends.
Very annoying later, walking for doctors, spreads of ointments, drops of drops and, possibly, drink tablets, tolerates the terrible itch and other discomfort.
Each type of treatment has reviews with which it is possible to make an impression.So, they say about domestic methods that it is completely possible to cure the disease, even if it could take more time than they would like, but the price is usually so low that this factor blocks all the shortcomings.They say drugs from the pharmacy that can be cheap, but further remedies to relieve pain and various types of discomfort due to the disease that is easier to buy more expensive, it will be approximately the same.What all users note is the convenience of all the clarifications on the Internet.If something raises questions or misunderstandings, there are many videos with explanations.Of course, the sites with recipes cannot replace the mycologist, but can give answers to minor questions.
