The mushrooms very quickly adapts to the life. This lower plants, which easily can reproduce and live in the tissues of the people, and that is: nails, hair and skin because it contains keratin. The fungi are distinguished for their survival, they can live in unfavorable environmental conditions environment the next five years, also in clothing and footwear. Fungal infections can be seen in the feet and the nails discs, the data of the disease of the legs become more and more common each year.
Of course, the people without too much trouble, you can find a lot of drugs to fight fungal defeat the legs, but without control by a dermatologist – it is difficult to find an appropriate remedy. Need intramural inspection, just by looking at the stop state of the patient, the doctor prescribes a treatment and diagnosis. In this article we have discussed the theme of the fungus in the foot.
Be infected, or simply to contract the fungus is a no-brainer, objects, and clothes patients stores a lot of bacteria, and contact with it can be infected by each. Often the infection occurs during the visit to the edge swimming pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium and other similar places, where the high humidity and temperature.
Now there are only two known types of the infection:
When a man is infected with a fungus of the foot, appear pimples and skin rashes on the legs. Same fungus progresses on the upper part and delicate layers of the skin, very often you can see it between the fingers. The disease develops at an incredible pace, but it all depends on a person's immune system, someone could be without work, and someone can be infected by all. The probability of contracting this disease increases with the passing of the years, moreover, they are highly those which they have already had.
After the infection starts in the inflammation of the skin and a feeling of intense burning in the foot. Starts the deformation of the skin, as well as during the psoriasis. The skin will crack, it hurts and flakes, and ointments do not help. But the intensity of the symptoms depends on the stage and the type of fungus. If the aperture of view, it is always the one that appears between the fifth and the fourth finger of the foot. The skin is destroyed and covered with scales, dry and crack. Due to the reduction of resistance on the part of the skin starts an infectious disease, because the bacteria quickly seep through a weak point.
The fungus, which has received the name "athlete's foot", it causes intense pain in the foot, and the skin on the heel and the foot becomes very thick and dense. But the cracks on the skin and the thickness of the skin is only the initial stage, if the disease deepens and becomes heavy, then the infection spreads to the nails. The nails begin to crumble, putting on weight, and then fall, but the loss of enamel only occurs in more severe cases.
Vesicular fungus is inflammation in the form of bubbles, which are full of pus and provide a lot of discomfort. The blisters is going on under the foot, and the disease is accompanied by serious bacterial infections.
To make a diagnosis and tell you exactly which stage of the disease and of the consequences, he needs traning control of a specialist. The dermatologist sees the patient's foot, ask questions to clarify and ask the most important question – is successful if the infection from before? In any case, the doctor will perform the analysis, the nail of the skin or the presence of infection. To detect the fungus, a person, cut a piece of nail or a piece of skin. Tested in several ways to detect the fungus in the body use potassium hydroxide. The stage of the disease determine the cultivation, but if the symptoms are too strange and unknown doctor, you can do a biopsy of the skin, and then take a look at the image through a microscope.
Very often people come into contact with the fungus without knowing it. The fact is that is circulated in humid environments with high temperatures, where they often appear to the people. For example, if you go in the pool, you may accidentally step on the fungus in the blood, and will begin at a fast pace. Also if you have a family member of a person who is suffering from the disease, it can infect you if it touches your clothes, or worse still – to the shoe. Can be infected during the pedicure or manicure, if pruning infected and the fungal scales. Also the infection can go through a towel, then never use a stranger.
The predisposition to the disease, there is a people with deformed feet, overweight and weakened the circulation of the blood in the legs. Of course, if a person's stress and weakening of the immune system – the chances of getting sick increase, also the diet and the constant use of antibiotics may help fungi on the farm, and your body is not able to resist. Then you need to monitor their health and eat properly, some of the infections are not been able to penetrate in the body.
Impossible to cure the disease without the diagnosis, and then to begin to discover what is the stage of the disease and its severity. Often people do not send in the hospital, and prescribe treatment at home with the help of powerful drugs. But the medicines are of two types, one that slows the growth of the fungus, while others are completely destroyed. If you found the symptoms fungal defeat in walking distance, you can not go directly to a dermatologist, and go to the pharmacy and buy anti-fungal medications.
All of these ointments need to use external, just apply on the skin and follow the instructions. If treatment for home – monitor any changes in his status, keep a diary and record the change of the fungus. So you'll know exactly what is going on with your body, if you suddenly noticed that you got a sharp deterioration and the aggravation of the disease – consult a specialist. Even if it is better to consult a specialist, as soon as you notice the symptoms of a defeat. Specialist of select a very serious and potent drugs, which very rapidly heal you from this disease.
Forget the tablets, if you have not visited the doctor, and the same to make a treatment plan. The tablets have a strong impact on the body, and during the course of treatment regularly carried out a survey, and the rent analysis, to understand if there are complications and side effects on the body or not. During the use of powerful drugs weakened organism, and all the forces go to war against the fungus, so the disease can resist, and cause aggravation, so it is necessary to consult a specialist and do not self-medication. If you survive the aggravation, and to continue treatment – the disease disappears, but not to risk and not to engage in a similar treatment at home.
In the pharmacy you can find a variety of lotions, creams and gels for the treatment of the fungus, but they are only suitable to fight the most common form of fungal defeat the foot. Also during the treatment with simple medications need to watch out for the leg were dry and clean. If the disease begins to progress, he needs to see a doctor and prescribe the pill, but in any case not to drink medicines without a prescription.
It is often possible to meet, and infection of the nails, called onychomycosis, occurs when the disease fungal. To cure this infection is extremely difficult, because the skin of the legs is very dense and thick. Classic pomade to combat the fungus do not help, are not able to penetrate inside the skin and have an impact on the fungus. The dermatologist the same prescribe a treatment, quite intense and serious.
If the form of the disease, vesicular – the doctor removes the bubbles, cut the tip of the bubble and the pus leaks out, and then the texture of the skin dries out and is recovering. On the spot, which will operate, is applied to the pack, which before was in the medicine solution. Sometimes they ointment or anti-fungal cream. But there are cases, when the body is struck by an infection, and in this case the operation does not help, you need to continue treatment with antibiotics.
In most cases, prescribed particular medicines corticosteroids. Gradually reduce the dose, such as the recovery of the body, but the treatment lasts until the disease is not fully withdrawn. But in rare cases, the disease can and resume, even if you have assigned the most effective cure. The fact is that the doctor prescribes a preventive treatment after you get rid of the fungus, and not always the people you deal with prevention. Treatment should continue until the infection disappears completely, and if the symptoms are gone and the pain is not there – need to care more, otherwise re-infection can not be avoided.
Don't forget that when the first symptoms is required to begin the treatment. The fungus can penetrate deep into the tissue, and to acquire a severe form, and fight with bubbles, and more strong of a bacterial infection much more difficult than normal. Therefore, when the first symptoms, contact your doctor, or as a minimum – to purchase a ointment in the pharmacy, is capable of freeing from an initial form of the disease. Treat the acute infection is more easy that the old and chronic, which is already rooted in the body. If you are a supporter of traditional medicine, you can use compresses of tea tree oil or garlic, have antibacterial and antifungal activity. Do not delay treatment until late, you run the risk of contamination of the nails of the feet and the receiving stage of a serious illness, and to fight with her without an expert in the relevant is almost impossible.
Onychomycosis is manifested very marked, the nails in an instant color change to yellow, brown, or even green. The structure of the nail becomes dense and rather thick, and if the nail has become fat, the treatment will be effective enough. This is followed by the deformation of the nail, until you drop and complete loss.
The reason is the same of that of a normal fungus – access to the swimming pools and saunas. Not for nothing that doctors recommend to wear slippers in the pools, save the legs from mushrooms and other unpleasant infections. If you accidentally step on the place, where they remained fungal scales – the infection happens in a moment, it is possible to raise the heavy type of the disease.
There are other common reasons for which you are developing the disease:
The most important thing – a systemic approach, and still quite complete. It is necessary to treat the fungus the same way as any other illness. Externally use the ointment, and inside of consuming the capsules, and tablets, including antibiotics. In special clinics use the latest devices, such as a drill with the attachments, are grappling with the thickness of the nails. In advanced cases, it is necessary the intervention of the surgeon, so that if you do not want to be in the office of the surgeon, it is best to begin the treatment immediately after the onset of the first symptoms. Easy-to-stage of the disease fungal cured for 3 weeks, they sometimes need a few months, but this is strictly individual. Below we describe the methods of disease treatment popular ways, if you do not want to go to the doctors.
