Fungi are a group of diseases caused by pathogenic fungi.The areas of the skin that affect these microorganisms are called dermatomy.Sometimes they are combined with nail -nail disease.Knowing how the fungus appears on the feet, you can cure the disease in time and prevent complications.There are several options for the course of this pathology.
The mechanism of foot infection
There are factors that directly affect the ability to become infected with fungus.It also depends on the state of immunity.When the body defenses are reduced, the likelihood of the development of fungi increases significantly.Immunity can weaken chronic infectious diseases, the pathologies of the endocrine system.You can be infected with fungus in a straight and indirect way.In the first case, this happens through:
- soil layers;
- various plants;
- Contact an infected person or animal.
An indirect path involves the use of hygiene and other things that the patient uses actively.
Candida mushrooms live on the surface of the skin.When the composition of the separate glands of the sweat changes, a nutrient for the development of microorganisms is formed.Representatives of the Candida Group acquire pathogenic properties.This means that they can easily cause diseases.
Sorting fungi
With the athlete's foot, the skin and nails are affected.You can be infected with this disease in public places: in gyms, saunas.Through which objects is the pathogen more frequently transmitted?
- towels?
- Washcloths?
- Oil spills.
- carpet.
Men in adulthood suffer from the athlete's foot more often.One favorable factor in developing the disease is the increase in sweating.
The hair can be caused by various types of fungus by the Trichophyton group.The disease is considered extremely contagious.It is transmitted through shoes worn by an infected theme, Washcloths, towels and other bathroom accessories.Pathology most often occurs in children.The prevalence is about 17% in adolescents.They are usually young men who suffer.Among adult men, the impact is even greater.Employees in laboratories, baths, shower, athletes and miners.
Candidiasis of the feet, compared to the athlete's foot, is less common.Most Candida fungi belong to the group of opportunistic pathogens.This means that these microorganisms exist in human skin in a normal variant.Gain pathogenic properties after a decrease in immunity.
To enter the Candida fungi into the body, it is sufficient to use patient objects.These microorganisms are often present in foods such as meat, milk and fermented milk.The risk of infection is increased by the presence of the following factors:
- Skin injuries due to exposure to chemicals, alkaline and acids.
- Ease, sweating of the skin.
- The presence of the fungus in the air in large quantities.
Symptoms of the disease
The nature of the course of rubromycosis and skin is similar.For this reason, experts combine in one category - foot fungi.There are strips, dualism and diametric forms.A separate group consists of onychomycosis, which may be:
- atrophic
- Normal.
- hypertrophic.
With the exhaustive fungi, the work of the sweat glands is suspended.The fungus on the fingers of the finger in the mediation form looks like a diaper rash.Despite this section, it should often be considered conditional, as different variations of the disease are combined.
Slabish and incomplete
In the beginning, the plankent form of the fungus affects one side.Then he goes to the opposite.Redness areas are formed on the skin, which gradually begin to peel.Some patients complain about itching.The damage area may be large or small, depending on the patient's body.There are people who suffer from this form of feet fungus, but nothing bothers them.
The fungus on the skin of the feet in a dystrian is particularly shown: the bubbles are formed with a diameter of 2 to 8 mm in large quantities formed in the foot arch.A little bit, they begin to merge into larger formations and then broke.The skin lesions of the skin are formed in their place.Sometimes the process moves to the inner and outer side surface.The bubbles open and in place you can see corrosion diaper rash areas.
The fungus on the legs is also manifested by itching and pain.The erosion is dry and healing in the future, and peeling is formed in place.The fungal infection can be complicated by bacterial.In this case, the liquid found in the bubbles becomes cloudy.The skin on the legs swells, blushes.A dystrician form is characterized by long flow.The recession periods alternate with exacerbations.Usually, the fungus in this form affects only one leg.
Sequential form
It is more widespread and emerges independently.Less often, this form develops on the background of the squamous fungi.The procedure affects the area between the 4th and 5th legs.The main symptom is the appearance of cracks in the skin with a white rim.The surface layers of the skin peel.Forms of crying between the fingers.The patient complains of burning and itching.In the affected areas, erosion is formed that are quite painful to the touch.
The mediating form is chronic in most cases and has a long course.The situation improves in the cold season and worsens in summer.In patients in this form, the skin relaxes over time.Its protective functions are reduced.This creates a favorable basis for streptococcal infection.The abscesses are formed on the skin, which are surrounded by areas of swelling and redness.
Types
This disease leads to fungal nail infection.The pathogen initially attacks the free edges of the plate.Here are strips and signs of yellow.There are various forms of onychomycia:
- Hypertrophic.The nail turns yellow and its thickness increases.It injures, and the skin under the peels away and thickens.
- Atrophic.The opposite situation is observed here when the nail becomes thin and destroyed.The skin beneath it is covered with a keratinized layer.
- Caused by molds.It is formed on the background of other types of nail diseases.The plate can be green, yellow, brown, and sometimes even black.Paronichia is formed in the peripheral space - purulent inflammation.
In 70% of cases, renoomycosis affects 3, 4 and 5 fingers on the legs.In 30% of cases, they suffer from 1 and 4 fingers.Very often, a normal nutritional form of the disease is found when there are yellow spots on the nail, but its integrity is not violated.
Treatment of fungus
There are various treatment systems for the disease selected individually by a doctor.
Additional methods of treatment include the intake of immunostimulatory and vitamins.Help enhance immunity.If it has joined a bacterial infection, antibiotics are prescribed.Sometimes the appearance of fungal infection is favored by the underlying disease.Must be treated in the first place.We are talking about dermatological pathologies and chronic infections.Antihistamines are recommended in the presence of an allergic ingredient.
Traditional medicine
Fungi are not a significant risk to health.But their presence helps to reduce immunity, acts as the focus of inflammation.Only antifungal therapy using specialized drugs helps get rid of such a problem.In the early stages, the use of popular recipes, which are complemented by basic treatment, is allowed.What methods can be exercised:
- Taking baths;
- Edited by affected areas with herbal decoction.
- Ointment application.
For baths, you can get wine vinegar as it has an antiseptic effect.First you need to wash your feet with warm water and dry them.Then the wine vinegar is poured into the water in a ratio of 1 to 2 and the legs are reduced to it.They hold them there for 5 minutes, after which they put in socks for the night and go to bed.
Another version of the bathroom includes the use of soda and salt.Take a tablespoon of both ingredients and dissolve water.After that, lower the legs to the solution, keep no more than 15 minutes.At the end of the process, the legs are washed with warm water.
For the treatment of legs with therapeutic narratives, the drug and inflorescences of the calendula can be used.Also, oak bark, dried raspberry berries have a good antiseptic effect.The selected components are mixed in the same amount.3 tablespoons of soup.large.And pour a glass of water.Put the slight heat for 15 minutes.Filtering and moisture of the damage to the decoction with the resulting decoction.Also, this tool can be used for lotion.
To prepare a therapeutic ointment, mix with the same amount of pork fat and sifted ash wood.The resulting ointment must be thick and have a homogeneous consequence.Applied for cleaning and dry legs twice a day: morning and evening.
