No one wants to hurt.And even more, something that makes you seem unattractive, itching, and your legs, especially in summer, will force to be ugly, covered with stains and others.Particularly painfully, even a slight demonstration will be transferred by adolescents.After all, they are particularly respectful of their appearance.But fungus is an insidious disease and can affect when they wait the least.In order not to get caught in your network, you must know all the ways to identify it, prevention methods and, above all, treatment.
The causes of interdigital fungi
When the fungus affects the leg, the question arises why this happened, what is the reason why the disease struck a healthy, at first glance, look, because nothing warned of trouble.The leg seemed healthy, and the next moment it had already begun to crack suspiciously and strangely, a peeling appeared.And now the doctor says that it's not just the gaps in care, but a fungus.How could this happen, what is the reason?
The first, and the most obvious, the cause is favorable conditions for the development of yeast, mold or dermatophytes mushrooms.Then members should not be sick for a fungus to occur.
Other reasons are also prosaic.Negligence of the basic rules of the safe visit of public baths, changing rooms or saunas, and in addition to that:
- The body is overwork, impaired immunity and resists pathogenic "guests", a person simply does not have the strength, curiously, stress and constant loads on the nerves are included here;
- diabetes mellitus;
- dermatitis and gluteal erythema;
- any diseases of the circulatory system, including thrombosis of the veins;
- Severe humidity and leg sweating, with non-compliance with hygiene rules and carry nonsense and socks;
- An elastic affected on the sock, curiously, can also serve as a cause, violating the blood circulation in the leg, and especially if unfavorable shoes are worn.
Such a fungus can not only be on the legs.Signs can be found when examining the palm and fingers.
Symptoms
Symptoms, especially at the very beginning of the disease, may seem insignificant and do not require any particular attention, but they cannot be ignored, even if it looks like ordinary redness or skin irritation, which seem to have no reason.It is necessary to immediately contact a specialist so that he clarifies the diagnosis and will prescribe treatment.If there are doubts, you can see a photo with this type of mushroom and compare what is going on with the legs.The symptoms will be as follows:
- A low itch appears between the fingers;
- In these areas, an intestine appears appears;
- The skin becomes inflamed, preterate and begins to climb under the fingers and between them;
- There is an unpleasant odor;
- Cracks with coat edges occur;
- There are wounds and wet cracks.
The disease can only start with one leg, or even from a single interi -bait space, and air of harmless redness or a coat.If you notice it in time, you cannot let the surfet spread and heal everything quickly.
Information options
There are two types of infection with fungal disease.These are direct and indirect species.Indirect implies an infection through:
- Things of a sick person, this is particularly true when someone is already sick in the family, so it is worth using their things;
- Things with which sick animals have contacted.
Direct view is understood as such modes of infection:
- Through walking on the ground without shoes (this will not necessarily lead to illness, like walking barefoot on the grass, but it is always necessary to observe, especially if there are microtraumas on the skin);
- by physical contact with a sick person;
- By contact with an infected animal.
To prevent any of the options, it is enough to observe preventive measures and not damage the skin of the stop.
What are the forms of the disease
There are four forms and stages of fungal damage, characteristics of interdiginal diseases:
- Erased look.The initial step.Dry skin, covers with cracks, peel off, get off.This happens between the fingers and under them.
- Dyshidrotic appearance.A heavier shape.It has a characteristic - the appearance of bubbles filled with liquid which, ultimately, bursts.With this shape, the fingers itch a lot.
- Intriginous view.The infection affects the skin not only between the fifth and fourth fingers, as often happens, but also under the little finger and between the third and the fourth finger.The skin between the fingers blushes.
- Squamine-hyperkeratic appearance.A distinctive characteristic is redness and the presence of seals on the place of the fingers.These training courses are similar to the cors.In this case, itching becomes almost unbearable.This is considered a fairly serious form of the disease.
If at least minor symptoms seem to contact a mikologist or dermatologist immediately.
Processing measures
The finger of the fingers of the feet is not easy and long.In order to deal with him, you must take a whole range of measures.Everything is complicated by the fact that the fungus can be associated with an infection that will perfectly feel the skin on a damaged disease.Outnels, crusts, inflammation and similar phenomena indicate that fungus is not one.In this case, you should also use antibacterial and antiseptic drugs.
When it becomes clear that it is a fungus, all the things that have been contacted with the infected foot must be carefully disinfected, and this must be done until complete recovery.This is particularly true for shoes.War, sponges and homemade slippers will have to be thrown away, they cannot obtain the infection of them, and they even transfer it.
All the accessories of the pedicure must also be disinfected each time after use, and if it is impossible, when the saw is not made of metal and not in glass, you will have to say goodbye to such an object.The cleaning will have to forget the requests for sharing scissors or pliers, which can break the infection in the whole family.
The bath should be washed more carefully than usual, preferably with powerful means.It can also become a mushroom carrier and will infect each visitor.
The careful elimination of the epidermis and the nails, if the skin already leaves, will not have to damage either, and the nail applies anyway, but it should be done so as not to damage healthy skin.
Treatment with drugs
Drugs from the pharmacy, contrary to the replicated Internet stereotype, act very effectively.Pharmacists are not in vain in testing and developing drugs.
The doctor may prescribe a complex treatment, for example, taking tablets, ointments and solution.It is the path to the fastest recovery.
Home remedies for treatment
Complete the funds of the pharmacy by home is an excellent practice which will provide faster healing.Of course, compatibility must be discussed with a doctor so as not to do worse, but such tactics can significantly accelerate recovery.
Home remedies are recommended in cases where, for any reason, there is no way to use traditional methods.
Before applying one of the methods, it is worth checking if there is an intolerance to one of its components or contraindications.A natural remedy does not mean completely sure.
Salt and soda rooms
One of the popular treatment methods is salt and soda baths.To do this, in a report of 1: 1, the ingredients are taken, poured from water, after their dissolution, the legs are held there for a quarter of an hour.
There is exactly the same recipe, but with the addition of linen soap, essential oils are also often added to salt and soda.There is no particular difference between efficiency between them.
The procedures are sufficient once a day, before going to bed.After each bath, be sure to dry the legs carefully.
Plants based on
Plant baths will be effective on the basis of a decoction or a infusion:
- Wormwood book;
- Veronica Medicinal;

One liter of water will need approximately two hundred and fifty or three hundred milliliters of decoction.The procedure will bring the effect if you do it regularly twice a day.
Bath with iodine
Dilute two teaspoons of iodine in two liters of water, hold your legs in the solution, from an hour to twenty minutes.The tool will help better if, after such a bath, rinse the legs with a decoction based on plants.
Vinegar lotions
Vatu, a stamp or a disc, should be moistened in nine percent of vinegar and attached to infected places.Particular attention must be paid to the little finger and the annular.The compress should not last more than five minutes.Then the legs are washed in lukewarm water and you can already apply ointments.
Coffee bath
Curiously, even coffee is used to treat the fungus.To do this, five ground coffee lounges are brewed in a liter of water.When the liquid is swollen, it is poured into the basin and the limbs are kept there for half an hour.The procedure must be carried out daily, for a month.
Compress with Birch Target
Previously, in lukewarm water, you should cook your legs steam.Then you have to rub the birch tar in painful spots and leave for two hours, covering a towel towel.The remains of the mixture at the end of the procedure must be removed, but not washed.With this procedure, the legs do not wash for two days and the compresses themselves must be made five times.It is believed that if the fungus is at the initial stage, it will kill it without drugs.
Propolize
To do this, you only need a propolis pharmacy dye and a moistened cotton in the dye.This should be regularly wiped with painful spots, it doesn't matter whether 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 apply

Special pasta can be used, from zinc oxide and salicylic acid, but if it is something insignificant, you should not hope for great success.
How to cure a fungus in a child
Sometimes you should treat children.They can be infected by playing in the country and running barefoot, they can bring a maternal disease and schoolchildren of a swimming pool or a sports section.In this regard, they are no less vulnerable than adults.Many drugs from pharmacies and folk methods are prohibited for their fingers, so the treatment of children is more difficult than adults.Children are treated with milder and softer means that will not affect the fragile body and will not poison it.
Experts recommend baths based on plants based on plants, Rélandin, worm wood and other herbs, if we are talking about very small patients.The treatment must correspond to the diagram when a break is carried out for the same period every ten days.
There are special drugs 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 baby fungus, you cannot prescribe drugs yourself.Only a qualified specialist should do so.
How to be during pregnancy
In addition to ordinary problems, pregnant women often have different problems with the fungus of the legs or arms.This is due to the fact that the body is experiencing a double load and mainly spends energy for training and wearing the future baby.
During pregnancy and during lactation, you should carefully select the drugs.They should be harmless not only for the mother, but also for the child.Most often, folk methods are attributed.But don't forget that they also have contraindications in the form of pregnancy and food.If the doctor prescribes a medicine in traditional medicine, it will not be the most powerful drugs, because those who fight intensively with the fungus in all cases will enter the mother's body and will be transmitted to the child.
How it will affect it - you cannot say with certainty, but nothing will certainly come out of that, even when the mother will already breastfeed her.
Prevention
For mushrooms, those who regularly visit pools, saunas, fitness clubs and similar places are the most vulnerable to fungus 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 such a place is planned.
- The legs and slippers should only be with soap or other detergents.
- The feet, and especially the space between the fingers, must always be carefully wiped, dry.
- All shoes must "breathe" and do not rub or tighten the leg anyway.
- It is forbidden to take hygiene objects from others - towels, objects to leave the feet.In addition, you cannot wear someone else's shoes.The same goes for socks.
- If it is supposed to be in a hot room for a long time, shoes are necessary.
- A healthy diet and full diet can support immunity and will not allow you to be infected with a fungus.
- If it is necessary to wear rubber shoes for a long time, for example, on a countryside, you should take care of the presence of a sufficient quantity of clean cotton socks and to rinse the legs at least just water.
- It is impossible to authorize the hypothermia of the legs and even their slight frostbite, and if this has nevertheless happened, you must take measures immediately so that the fungus does not have time to activate.
- If there are immunity problems, taking immunostimulant plant agents will help you.The echinacea extract, Eleutherococcus or Rodiola Rosova are suitable.
Conclusion
Whatever the treatment chosen, the first step should always be a visit to a specialist.This ensures that the diagnosis will be properly made and that compliance with all meetings will result in complete healing for the fungus.Do not count entirely on your strength.A visit to the doctor is embarrassing and not always a pleasant business, but often it is the only one to choose the right treatment.
But the main conclusion that can be drawn is to prevent the fungus is easier and more pleasant than to remove it later.It is not so difficult to make a bath for a week once a week, to wash your feet with soap and not to bind you irresponsibly to the shoes.It is easy to get the child to change better and not to share hygiene products with friends.
Very embarrassing to doctors' walking, to make ointments, to drain drops and, perhaps, to drink tablets, to tolerate terrible itching and other discomfort.
Each type of treatment has journals by which you can make an impression on it.Thus, they say about home methods that it is quite possible to cure the disease, although it can take more time than they would like, but the price is generally so low that this factor blocks all gaps.They say about pharmacy medicines that they can be inexpensive, but additional remedies to relieve pain and various types of discomfort due to the disease that is easier to buy more, it will be roughly the same.What all users note is the convenience of all clarifications on the Internet.If something raises questions or misunderstandings, there are many videos with explanations.Of course, sites with recipes cannot replace the mycologist, but they can give answers to minor questions.
