Foot fungus can affect anyone with feet. Even if this is the purest person, obsessed with hygiene procedures.
Why does foot fungus appear and how to deal with this nasty disgusting phenomenon?
How do foot fungus develop?
Even if a person washes his feet constantly and regularly, he cannot eliminate all the bacteria. They just get smaller, but they don't go away entirely. And they multiply very, very quickly, as soon as a person steps on the ground, puts on sneakers or, even more favorable for bacteria, shoes, boots or sneakers.
In a hot and humid environment, especially if your feet are sweating, the fungus is just a spread. If such an environment coincides with the inflammatory process in the body, poor resistance to infection, or excessive sweating of the legs, write it all down. The fungus is there.
Symptoms of the fungus on the feet.
It affects the area between the toes, on the nails, on the soles of the feet, and the top of the foot remains intact. If the fungus already has a chronic stage, then the skin on the legs and other parts of the body is very dry, scaly, has keratinized skin scales, microcracks.
Along the edge of the area where the fungus is located, an inflamed red stripe is clearly visible, behind which the skin is rough, dry and scaly.
If the fungus has not been treated for a long time, quite noticeable cracks appear on the skin behind the fungus area, which are excruciatingly painful. If a bacterial infection is added to them, severe pains appear in the legs, which puts a person in a hospital bed, since it is impossible to walk due to these pains.
Is the fungus transmitted from another person?
There is a widespread belief (and many believe it) that the fungus is transmitted from person to person, that it can become infected. True, if a person has already received a fungus, it spreads very quickly throughout the entire foot area.
In order to prevent the process from becoming painful and depriving a person of the ability to walk, it is necessary to start treating the fungus at the initial stage of the disease.

How to treat acute fungi?
First of all, you need to apply a sterile bandage on the foot, but not too tight. In pharmacies, an infusion against fungi is sold; In the language of doctors, it is called antifungal, that is, antifungal. With this infusion, you need to moisten the bandage and apply it to the affected area of the fungus.
This operation must be repeated every time the bandage is dry. When you see that the fungus has not covered the foot so intensely, its manifestations begin to subside, you should not stop the antifungal wraps. Otherwise, the manifestations of the fungus will reappear. If there are cracks on the legs, you need to protect them from the penetration of pathogenic bacteria by bandaging the affected area.
During the treatment, it is very important that the feet are not exposed to high temperatures and that the water does not stain them, which contributes to the further spread of the fungus. In addition, the surface of the feet must be dry and clean.
