One of the most unpleasant skin diseases is ringworm.Depending on the degree of damage, two categories of the disease are distinguished - dermatomycosis and onychomycosis.In the first case, the skin falls under the blow and, in the second - the nail plates.To successfully get rid of harmful microorganisms, you need to know how the fungus is on the legs, which appears and how to deal with it.
Basic species
Experts in the field of dermatology distinguish various types of fungi in the legs, which differ from each other in the nature of influence and pathogen.As for pathogenic microorganisms that cause the development of fungal diseases, they can be:
- mold;
- yeast;
- Dermatophytes.
The impact of these parasites leads to the development of a dangerous pathology, which is called rubromicosis and means damage to the feet skin.In addition, the disease may differ from clinical manifestations and be membrane, mokasinopodobnoy or vesicular.
Fungus progression causes the saturation of blood vessels with blood, dryness and peeling of the skin.In this case, the process itself occurs slowly and without significant symptoms.The first sensations of itching or burning are felt only after severe damage to the feet.Soon, the nail deformation process is launched, which causes the appearance of bubbles, crusts, plates and pustules.
If you do not take the necessary measures, the scale of defeat will be colossal and the walk process will be accompanied by pain.Knowing what the foot fungus is like and how it manifests itself, the patient can resort to a time specialist and avoid dangerous consequences.
When involved in therapeutic treatment, it is important to know the varieties of the disease.The method of combating the problem is determined only after a comprehensive examination under a microscope and the compilation of a clinical image.To clean the skin of the lesions, various medicines with exfoliating effects are used.Among them are ointments and creams containing salicylic acid. In addition, comprehensive treatment includes antifungal medications.
If the degree of damage is too heavy, the highly effective tablets and mitigators are used.The success of the struggle against pathology depends on the patient's responsibility and his readiness to start treatment in time.
Infection methods
There are many causes and factors that determine nail damage with fungal diseases.In most cases, this occurs directly - when contacting nail plates with soil or vegetation, sick people or animals. As for indirect modes, they look like this:
- If a person uses objects and personal things from the fungus carrier.
- If a person is in contact with things designed to take care of a pet.
There are also many predeterminating factors that increase the risk of ringworm.This includes age -related characteristics, as young children are much more likely to suffer from the disease due to the excessively thin skin and the lack of protection functions in the body.
Fungal infection also attacks the patient with a worse state of immunity.If the immune system is weakened, it is not able to combat these manifestations, which leads to destructive processes.
Among other factors, they highlight:
- A good job of nerve and endocrine systems.For this reason, the weakening of protection mechanisms occurs.
- The development of chronic infectious diseases that negatively affect immunity, increasing the likelihood of fungal development.
- Excessive perspiration of the foot.Such a discomfort is an innate pathology or the result of wearing uncomfortable shoes.
- Changing the composition of sweat.This process creates a nutritious environment for fungal microorganisms, which leads to its activation.
Rubrophy symptoms
A parasite called TR.Mentagrophytesvar is the main causative agent of a dangerous fungal disease of Rubrophytius.Having small dimensions, it instantly equates the horn or granular skin layers, causing the development of allergies and other unpleasant processes. In most cases, Prague's life is accompanied by the following reactions:
- Bubble formation with a dense crust.
- The appearance of pustules and edema.
- Corroding in skin mass.
- The appearance in the skin of scales and crusts that cause painful sensations.
- Yellowing and deformation processes in nail plates.
Intensive itching and pain development during walking are also not excluded.During the clinical examination, the expert elaborates a general staff and describes the symptoms, conducting the study of the scraper.
If the disease progresses rapidly and acquires an acute form, the patient may prescribe silver nitrate 0.25%, 1%resorcecena and calcium 10%.To combat allergic manifestations, the use of anti -histamines.In severe cases, the symptoms of Rubrophytius fight with the help of highly effective drugs against the fungus.
Stopping
Candidies of the feet rarely develop.The causative agent of the disease is the dangerous fungi of the Candida genre, who exist peacefully in all organisms, but relate to conditionally dangerous and do not represent a great threat.But if the number of microorganisms begins to grow, it leads to uncomfortable sensations and serious health consequences.This is facilitated by additional factors, including immune system deterioration, frequent hypothermia, stressful situations and a harmful lifestyle. As for external factors, they include:
- A long stay in water, which causes the mass compartment of the layers of each other's skin.
- Domestic or industrial lesions.
- The use of shoes that are not suitable in size or material.
Manifestations of onychomycosis
Trying to understand how the fungus looks like on your fingers, you need to know about another dangerous variety of pathology - onicomycosis.Its development is accompanied by fungal damage to nails after water procedures in pools, showers and common saunas.In terms of propagation, the disease is not less than ringworm, as dangerous parasites are rapidly separated from nail plates and are then located on fabric surfaces, benches or rugs.If there is an increase in the environment, the plague not only fits in comfortable conditions, but also begins to work on the reproduction of the colony.
In the early stages, the pathogen affects the skin of the feet, causing a sensation of itching.As a result, the patient really wants to scratch the foot, but this only exacerbates the problem.Soon the skin is covered with small cracks and scratches, and pathogenic microorganisms begin to equip up and multiply actively.
The probability of a pathology collision often increases with nail lesions, unbalanced blood circulation and the presence of complex diseases, including diabetes and sexually transmitted diseases.
Depending on the form and degree of injury, onicomycosis is divided into three groups:
- Normotorophic.With its development, the color of nail plates becomes yellowish brown.The thickness and shape of the nail remain the same.
- Hypertrophic.Causes the final change of color, loses the shine and deformation of the shape of the nails.This type of onychomycosis causes pain, not allowing the patient to move freely.The problem may aggravate the wearing of uncomfortable shoes.
- Oniholitichesky.The pathology leads to a change in the shadow of nails, as a result of which they become brown.In addition, the plates lose their usual strength and begin to separate.In open areas of nail bed, the deformed layers appear.
Effective treatment
To treat the disease, it is virtually useless to use local antifungal medications, which is explained by deep penetration of microorganisms under nails.Before starting the fight against the pathology, it is necessary to locate the fungus.For this, experts prescribe drugs or keratolytic patches for the patient.Sometimes the problem is resolved mechanically, cutting the deformed and dead sections of the nail plate with a special file or bites.When performing this procedure, you need to ensure that the tool is clean.
The most effective way to combat onychomycosis is the integrated use of plaster and mechanical purification of nails.In the form of a keratolytic agent, a therapeutic set consisting of a patch, files and a special ointment can be used.At the end of the nail removal procedure, you should use systemic antimicots.
Popular remedies
Getting rid of the fungal lesions of the feet is quite real without the help of an expert.However, self -medication should be treated with special responsibility, realizing that this process may require a lot of time and effort.It is necessary to consider the fact that several fungi react in their own way to the effects of any medicines or folk medicines.With inadequate use, the household medicine can only aggravate the problem, contributing to the location of parasites.
To avoid this event development and successfully destroy the fungal colony, you should combine the correct cleansing of the skin with body cleansing from pathogenic microorganisms and a comprehensive restoration of the epidermis layer.For these purposes, it is advisable to use baths, as well as clean your feet and palms daily from the hands of the antiseptic. 
The most effective cleaning products for baths are considered:
- Boric acid;
- apple vinegar;
- hydrogen peroxide.
To prepare the bath, you need to take 20 grams of one of the above and diluted compounds in a liter of cooked water.After that, the legs are placed in the solution for 20 to 40 minutes.To observe a significant improvement in nail condition, it is sufficient to regularly perform these procedures for several weeks.
To clean the skin of redness, itching and burning, it is recommended to clean your feet with a soda composition daily with salt.Good antibacterial and anti -inflammatory exfoliation can be a mixture of the equal number of minerals and essential oils.The selected components are mixed and the affected areas are covered with the finished mass.
A serious enemy of the fungus is tar soap.It consists of a birch tar, which has long been considered one of the most powerful antibacterial substances.It should be applied to affected areas and washed after 5 minutes.The course of treatment with this soap takes two weeks.At the end of the procedure, the skin is treated with cream or zinc ointment.
Hardware Solutions
If the problem of nail damage with a fungus is very aggravated, and any popular funds or officers hardly provides any results, you can use an innovative solution - hardware treatment.This method is characterized by high efficiency and may be the only salvation in cases where the rest of the medications is powerless.
Among the available techniques of the most common laser processing, it is considered an Erbio laser.It cauterizes the mycelium and allows you to get rid of visible symptoms of nail plates fungus.In addition, technology allows you to clean the skin near the nails, between fingers and feet, returning it to previous elasticity and attractiveness.
Subject to the basic rules of skin care with fungal leg diseases, destroying a dangerous pathology is quite real.It is important not to postpone treatment for the future and take appropriate measures immediately with the development of dubious symptoms.
