Athlete's foot can affect anyone's feet. Even if this is the purest person obsessed with sanitary procedures.
Why does fungus appear on the feet and how to deal with this unpleasant disgusting phenomenon
How does athlete's foot develop?
Even if a person washes their feet constantly and regularly, they may not be able to wash away all of the bacteria from them. They just get smaller but don't go away completely. And they multiply very, very quickly as soon as a person steps on the floor, puts on slippers or - even more favorable for bacteria - shoes, boots or sneakers.
In a warm and humid environment, especially if your feet are sweating, the fungus is just spreading. If such an environment coincides with the inflammatory process in the body, poor resistance to infection or excessive sweating of the legs - write everything. The mushroom is right 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 tip of the foot remains intact. If the fungus already has a chronic stage, then the skin of the legs and other parts of the body is very dry, scales, it has keratinized skin flakes, microcracks.
A red, inflamed stripe behind which the skin is rough, dry and flaky can clearly be seen along the border of the fungal attack.
If the fungus has not been treated for a long time, rather noticeable cracks appear on the skin behind the fungal area, which are terribly painful. When a bacterial infection comes along, there is severe pain in the legs, which puts a person in a hospital bed as the pain makes it impossible to walk.
Is the fungus transmitted from someone else?
There is a widespread belief (and many believe) 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 over the entire foot area.
To prevent the process from becoming painful and depriving a person of the ability to walk, it is necessary to begin treatment of the fungus at the initial stage of the disease.

How to treat acute fungus
First of all, you need to put a sterile bandage on the foot, but it is not very tight. An infusion against fungi is sold in pharmacies - in the language of doctors it is called antifungal, i. e. antifungal. With this infusion, you need to moisten the bandage and apply it to the affected area of the fungus.
This process must be repeated each time the dressing is dry. If you find that the fungus has not covered the foot so intensely, then its manifestations begin to decrease, you should not stop the antifungal compresses. Otherwise, the manifestations of the fungus will come back again. If the legs have cracks, then you need to protect them from the invasion of pathogenic bacteria by bandaging the affected area.
During the treatment, it is very important that the feet are not exposed to hot temperatures or water on them - this contributes to an even wider spread of the fungus. In addition, the surface of the feet should be dry and clean.
It is also necessary to treat the foot with vitamins and take antifungal (antifungal) drugs. At the same time, you should not neglect the recommendations of the doctor - he will advise you on what funds are needed for treatment. A person can get a fungus if they forget to wipe their feet after washing - a damp environment promotes rampant infections.
What can you wear with a fungus on your feet?
If a person suffering from athlete's foot is still going to work and the time of year is cold, it is worth stocking up on several pairs of stockings or tights (for women), several pairs of socks (for men) that you will need 3-Changed 4 times a day. This will prevent the infection from spreading further. What the patient puts on the feet must be made of natural materials, including shoes.
Shoes shouldn't be tight, tight and comfortable - this is how the foot feels comfortable and the skin shouldn't sweat as often, which causes bacteria and fungi to multiply.
