This is the general name of infectious diseases that affect a person's foot, nails on the feet or hands.In medicine, such pathologies are called mycose - a whole group of diseases resulting from tiny fungi.
Osyocycinia is distinguished - damage to the nails and dermatomy - is found on the skin of the feet.The disease is often an independent disorder, as a rule, it develops in the context of the disorders of various births.What the foot fungus looks like, depends on the detection of the pathogen type.
There are a large number of fungi species, however, only some of them cause pathological changes in humans.Leg mixes occupy the prevalence of 2nd place between all skin diseases.The following groups of fungi are distinguished, which are dangerous to health:
- Humanphy.We only cause pathologies to people, you can be infected by another person.
- Zooanthropophilic.They can cause illness in animals as well, infection comes from animals and other humans.
- Candidate.A separate type of dough fungi, which has its own characteristics.
There are several types of pathologies that have similar signs, this includes rubromying and epidermalization.Combined with the general definition of "Mikoza Stop".The symptoms of the fungus in the legs are divided according to the type, but often develop parallel, so this distinction is conditional.The following forms of pathology are separated:
- scaly;
- Interiginosny?
- Dyshidrotic?
- Osyocycia, which is divided into: Normotrophic, atrophic, hypertrophic.
The scientific name of the disease is parallel.The infection affects the skin, especially in the lower extremities, nail plates.The dough and molds fall on an unprotected surface.
The foot fungus is a fairly common disease transmitted by humans through overall use of objects.It is worth noting that its distribution occurs extremely quickly, while the development of the disease is concentrated in the area of the areas between the fingers in the legs.
Causes
The infection examined occurs with direct contact with the fungus, whose reproduction occurs extremely quickly in the environment of the warm and liquid surfaces of the skin.It is possible to infect the foot fungus as a result of the contact with human skin with its fungus.
Situations in which the fungus is transmitted through tools used for manicure and pedicure, as well as for shoes and towels, are no exception.
Most of the time, foot damage to the foot occurs among people who have problems with overweight and circulation at blood and people with deformation of the legs are often subjected to it.Violations in the immune system, caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, anxiety, the use of antibiotics in antibiotic treatment, and malnutrition, also determine the possibility of infection with the foot fungus.
Wet skin, cracks, foot irritation, pathogenic and conditional pathogenic fungi cause pathogens and conditional.The types of fungus are as follows:
- Pathogenic species of mushrooms when entering the skin leads to the development of the inflammatory process, a fungal disease occurs.
- Conditional pathogenic microorganisms are constantly on the skin and increased activity is manifested only by the action of provocative factors.
The source of the infection is the people who suffer from fungus.The pathogenic flora enters the healthy skin in parts of human accumulation.Comfortable different types of mushrooms grow under heat and high humidity conditions.
Places of infection:
- Pools?
- Baths?
- Coard in sports centers.
- public shower;
- Suns?
- Gymnastics centers.
Great!Never go barefoot in public places.For lessons in sports clubs, pool, when you go to the steamboat, take special shoes with you.
Some occupations are at risk.The reason is a long stay of the feet in a closed, warm, humid environment.Fungal lesions of the skin often suffer:
- Miners?
- Athletes?
- military;
- Workers in hot stores.
Pay attention!Fungi often grow on those who are obliged to wear closed shoes, whether they are comfortable on their feet or not.The job description for many occupations defines boots as a special unit even in the hot season.It is very difficult to fight fungal in such conditions.
Other causes of fungal diseases:
- Poor foot hygiene.
- skin trauma;
- reduced immunity.
- Place shoes without nylon sock.
- Complications for diabetes.
Types and symptoms of a foot fungus
There are many varieties of fungus.
Foot skin most often affects the following types:
- Red hair injuries injuries and heels.
- Interdigital trichophyte is distributed in the zone between scientific and in advanced cases affects the legs, thumb skin and skin on the little finger.
- Mentagrophytes trichophyte - a type of fungal infection that develops on the skin in the human body (armpits, groin folds).
- Candida Fungus - Infection causes candidiasis of mucosa and genitals, but there are also skin skin lesions.
Dermatophyte can cause local skin damage.The name of such a disease of the epidermalism is a very contagious pathology, which develops intensively in the human body.
There are three forms of foot fungus:
- Interdalz leather in acute and chronic forms.
- Mochacino-sicut?
- Bubble, ulcerative.
The general symptoms of the disease are severe itching and burning, skin irritation, followed by peeling the particles.These are the signs that can be more often displayed on the internet photo with which the internet is full.
Leather decree
What is this form?The most common, mainly located between the 4th and 5th finger of the foot.It appears in the form of cracks: in liquid form, the skin looks swollen and with a dry piece of peel and falls.
Often, along with dermatologists-Fitia-Fitia, other bacterial infections are impressive in the foot.The advanced form begins.Symptoms are enhanced, unpleasant sensations - also the patient feels severe pain, which cannot get rid of.
The initial stage of the fungus demonstration.
If the skin breaks, the blood can act, causing additional discomfort.The psychological agent is coming - some people are trying to cut off skin peel particles independently and this is not recommended to do so, as a new infection is happening.The disease worsens.
The common name "foot athletes" is for this shape of the fungus on the feet.It is quite difficult, caused by neglect of treatment, but it is easier to recognize.With this pathology, nail plates are affected, which begin to change color to black, green, blue or yellow.The transparency is lost, the nails are gradually deformed, thrown and crushed.
The leg at that time peels covers with scales on the sides.The foot becomes like mochasin.
A fairly rare form of the disease, compared to Interdaltsevo and Mochacino-Sicut.The hives with muddy liquid manifestly manifest the entire surface of the foot.Over time, they mature and erupted.

Additional signs observed in patients are:
- steady itching and burning.
- peeks, the skin is mounted;

- The use of other people's things - towels, washcloths, combs;
- Inadequate hygiene, increased sweating of the feet.
Non -compliance with hygiene or excessive sweating of legs leads to foot fungus

These include:
- Injuries to the foot and nails, because when infected, the disease often turns to the skin.
- Reduction of immunity.As soon as this happens, microorganisms begin to attack a revenge, getting rid of them become much more difficult.
- HIV infection.
- Bad habits - alcoholism, smoking, over -consumption.
- Cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus.
- Lymphostasis of the lower extremities.
Stages and events
The defeat of the feet with pathogenic flora microorganisms has several stages or clinical forms of skin growth:
- reflected or initial stage.
- Interdigital infection.
- Squamous-hyperkeratotic figure;
- Dyshidrotic Stage.
Folk remedies for the treatment of fungus
Popular treatment methods can only be used as an auxiliary factor.As the main method of treatment of fungus, folk remedies are ineffective, but can enhance the therapeutic effect of drugs.
