When a person infected with the foot fungus, he has pimples and rashes on the legs. The fungus progresses on and the delicate layers of the skin, very often it can be seen between the fingers. The disease develops at a dizzying pace, but it all depends on the human immune system, someone can become infected easily, and someone can be infected at all. The chances of contracting this disease increases year, also they are rich in those who already are ill.
Symptoms of foot fungus
When the infection begins the skin inflammation and strong burning sensation in the legs. Initial deformation of the skin, such as psoriasis. The skin is cracked, sore and chapped and the creams do not help. But the intensity of the symptoms depends on the stage and type of fungus. If this membrane, it will appear between the fifth and fourth toe. The skin is destroyed, and covered with scales, dry and cracked. Because of the decreased resistance of the skin begins a contagious disease, because the bacteria quickly seep through a weak point.
The fungus causes severe pain in the foot and leather on the heel and the feet become very thick and dense. But cracks in the skin and the thickness of the skin is only in the early stages, if the disease becomes serious, the infection spreads to the nails. The nails begin to crumble, get fat, and then drop, but the loss of the nails occurs in only the most severe cases.
Vesicular fungus is characterized by inflammation in the form of blisters, they are filled with pus and cause a lot of discomfort. Blisters occur at the bottom of the foot, and the disease has been associated with serious bacterial infections.
Diagnosis of fungal diseases
To make a diagnosis and tell you what stage of the disease, and what this means, we don't need face-to-face verification expert. The dermatologist sees the patient's foot, ask clarifying questions and ask the most important question – was it infected before? In any case, the doctor will check the nails or skin infection. To identify the fungus, a person, cut off a piece of nail or scratching the skin. Test different methods to detect the fungus the body use potassium hydroxide. The stage of the disease is determined by the cultivate, but if the symptoms are too strange and unfamiliar to the doctor, he may perform a biopsy of the skin, and then look at the image through a microscope.
What are the causes of developing the disease?
Most people come into contact with the fungus without knowing it. The fact that it is distributed in humid areas of high temperature, which often occur people. For example, if you go to the pool, you may accidentally step on a mushroom in the shower, and the disease begins to progress rapidly. Even if you have a familiar person who is sick with this disease, he can infect you if you touch his garment, or even worse – the shoes. You can get infected even during a pedicure or a manicure, if the nail scissors is a fungal infection and scale. Also the infection can pass through towel, so don't ever use a stranger.
Predisposition to the disease is for people with deformed feet, excess weight and poor blood circulation in the legs. Of course, if a person daily stress and a weakened immune system – the chances of getting more, even the wrong diet and continuous use of antibiotics may help fungi to proliferate, and the body is not able to resist them. So you need to watch your health and eat right to prevent infection can enter the body.
It is impossible to treat the disease without a diagnosis, so for starters, what stage of the disease and its severity. Most often people are not sent to the hospital, and it is prescribed for home treatment with potent drugs. But medicines are of two types, one slow the development of the fungus, while others completely destroy it. If you find any symptoms of fungal infection of the feet, you can go directly to the dermatologist, and go to the pharmacy and buy anti-fungal medication.
Drugstore you can find many creams, lotions and gels for the treatment of fungus, but they apply only to combat the overall film. Although during treatment, simple preparations, you need to look below his feet was dry and clean. If the disease begins to progress, you must be examined by a physician and to prescribe the pills, but in any case, do not drink the medicine without a prescription.
Often you can meet the infection of the nails, called onychomycosis, occurs during the fungal disease. To cure this infection is incredibly difficult, because the skin on your feet is very dense and thick. Classic cream to combat the fungus will not help, they can not penetrate inside the skin and affects the fungus. Dermatologist he prescribe treatment, quite intense and serious.
If the vesicular form of the disease – the doctor will remove the blisters, he cut the tip of the blisters and the pus flows out, and then the skin surface dries and returns. In place apply a special pack, the drug solution. Sometimes the application of antifungal ointment or cream. But there are times when the body is infected, and in this case, only one measure will not help, you need to continue treatment with antibiotics.
In the most severe cases, appoint a special corticosteroids. Gradually reduce the dose, because the recovery of the body, but the treatment lasts as long as the disease is not fully recede. But in rare cases, the disease can recur, although it was shown that the most effective treatment. The fact that the doctor will prescribe preventative treatment after get rid of the fungus, and not always the people who make the prevention. Treatment is continued until, until the infection disappears completely, and if the symptoms are gone, and no pain – should continue to receive treatment, otherwise re-infection can not be avoided.
Don't forget that when the first symptoms need to start treatment. The fungus can penetrate deep into the tissue and contracting the severe form, and deal with blisters and serious bacterial infection is much more difficult than usual. Therefore, when the first symptoms, contact your doctor, or at least buy a cream at the pharmacy, he has the opportunity to get rid of the original forms of the disease. Improvement of acute infection is easier than the chronic and chronic, which is already rooted in the body. If you are a supporter of folk medicine, you can use compresses, tea tree oil or garlic, they have antibacterial and antifungal activity. Do not delay treatment until later, you risk infection in the nails and get to the severe stage of the disease, and fight with him, without competent expert is almost impossible.
