It is difficult to imagine skin diseases that would not be distinguished by intolerable discomfort and general unpleasant condition, as well as aesthetic disharmony. Of particular interest in this area is the foot fungus, which occurs when some types of microorganisms multiply in the epidermis. It is advisable to notice the symptoms of foot fungus in a timely manner in order to begin treatment immediately. Infection with such an ailment occurs quite easily, especially if a person is characterized by reduced immunity.
Moreover, the so-called mycosis no longer has any age limits, as it was several decades ago. As a result,
foot and nail
fungus can be found even today among the youngest generation. However, it is worth noting that the smaller the patient’s age, the faster and more effective the treatment will be, since microorganisms will not multiply so rapidly in a growing body. While at an older age, such an ailment may well become chronic, not amenable to complete cure even by very strong drugs.
Since there are many types of
fungal infections, there are also many ways of infection. Nevertheless, the primary infection, contrary to popular belief, does not occur in
public places, namely at home, most often from one of the family members. Moreover, the
symptoms of foot fungus can be detected even by those who have never visited public swimming pools, showers and saunas, but at the same time suffer from some chronic diseases - diabetes, varicose veins, hyperhidrosis, vitamin deficiency, flat feet and obesity. Do not forget about various injuries, uncomfortable or tight shoes that contribute to the appearance of corns and sores, as well as weakened immunity, which was mentioned above.
Small scales on the skin of the legs - this is the first sign of the appearance of candida. In this case, the foot fungus can rapidly spread throughout the foot, including the fingers and the surface of the nail. In principle, the initial development of infection can be completely asymptomatic, after which fungal growths suddenly begin, expressed in discomfort felt in the folds between the third and fourth fingers.
Itching is accompanied by redness, dry skin and its cracks. Especially often there are
cracks on the heels, and an unbearable burning sensation appears in the area of the feet. Often the symptoms of a foot fungus include the appearance of vesicles, which open up over time and bring not very pleasant sensations.
It is worth noting that the classification of such a disease is quite arbitrary, and only a doctor can determine what specific form is taking place. In no case should you self-medicate, since the symptoms of a foot fungus can sometimes be interpreted too twofold, and the use of medications directly depends on the type and stage of skin infection.
