No one wants to hurt.And even more, something that makes you look unattractive, itching and your feet, especially during the summer, will force you to blush ugly, covered with dots and the like.Especially with pain, even a small manifestation will be transferred from adolescents.After all, they are especially honored for their appearance.But fungi are a secret disease and can affect when they expect this less.In order not to get caught in its network, you need to know all the ways to identify it, prevention methods and most importantly, treatment.
Causes of interdigital fungi
When the fungus affects the legs, the question arises as to why this happened, which is why the disease hit healthy, at first glance, limbs, because nothing gathered trouble.The leg looked healthy, and the next moment she had already begun to cracked in a suspicious way and appeared strange peel.And now the doctor says these are not just the deficiencies of care, but a fungus.How can this happen, what is the reason?
The first and most obvious, the cause is favorable conditions for the development of yeast, mold or dermatophytes.Then the limbs should not be sick in order for a fungus to occur.
Other reasons are also prosaic.Neglect of the basic rules of the safe visit of public baths, closet rooms or saunas, and in addition:
- The body is redundant, weakened immunity and resists pathogenic "guests" that a person simply has no strength, quite strange, stresses and constant loads on the nerves are included here;
- diabetes mellitus;
- Dermatitis and frying of diaper;
- Any disease of the circulatory system, including vein thrombosis;
- severe humidity and sweating of the feet, with discrepancies with hygiene rules and wear stupidity and socks;
- The touched rubber band affected in the hose, quite strange, can also serve as a cause, violating the blood circulation in the legs, and especially if the opposite shoes are worn.
Such a fungus can be not only standing.Signs can be found when examining the palm and fingers.
Symptoms
Symptoms, especially at the beginning of the disease, may look small and require no special attention, but they cannot be ignored, even if it looks like common redness or skin irritation, which seems to have no reason.It is necessary to contact a specialist immediately in order for him to clarify the diagnosis and prescribe treatment.If you have any doubts, you can see a photo with this type of mushrooms and compare it with what happens to your feet.Symptoms will be:
- Soft itching appears between fingers;
- Flour skin appears in these areas;
- The skin becomes inflamed, swollen and begins to peel under and between fingers;
- An unpleasant odor occurs;
- Cracks with peel ends appear;
- Wounds and cracks that become wet appear.
The disease can start from only one foot, or even a space between the fingers, and look like harmless rash or an ardent place.If you notice this in time, you can prevent the spread of infection and cure everything quickly.
Infection options
There are two types of fungal infection.These are direct and indirect types.Indirectly means infection through:
- The things of a sick person, this is especially true when someone in the family is already sick, so you should only use your things;
- Things with which sick animals have come into contact.
By direct form we mean the following ways of infection:
- By walking on the ground without shoes (this will not necessarily lead to disease, just as you walk barefoot in the grass, but you have to be careful, especially if there are microtrauma on the skin);
- through physical contact with a sick person;
- through contact with an infected animal.
To prevent any of the options, it is enough to follow preventive measures and not leave damage to the skin of the feet by chance.
What are the forms of the disease?
There are four forms and stages of infection fungi characteristic of interdigital disease:
- Deleted view.Initial phase.The skin dries, covers with cracks, peel, go down.This happens between the fingers and under them.
- The look of double.A heavier form.It has a characteristic feature - the appearance of liquid -filled bubbles, which, after all, explode.With this form, the fingers are very scratched.
- Intriguing view.The infection affects the skin not only between the fifth and fourth fingers, as it often happens, but also under the little finger and between the third and fourth fingers.The skin between the fingers blushes.
- The appearance of squamine-hyperkeratotic.A distinctive feature is the redness and presence of seals in the place of the fingertips.Such formations are similar to corn.In this case, itching becomes almost unbearable.This is considered a very severe form of the disease.
If at least minor symptoms appear to contact a mycologist or dermatologist immediately.
Measures in treatment
The toe mycosis is not easy and long.In order to deal with it, you need to take a whole range of measures.Everything is complicated by the fact that fungi can go paired with an infection that will perfectly feel the skin in damaged disease.Outnels, crust, inflammation and similar phenomena indicate that the fungus is not one.In this case, you should also use antibacterial and antiseptic drugs.
When it becomes clear that this is a fungus, all the things that are contacted with the infected leg must be carefully disinfected, and this should be done until a complete recovery.This is especially true for shoes.Warks, sponges and household slippers will have to jump away, they cannot get the infection from them, and they transfer it as well.
All accessories for the pedicure will also need to be disinfected every time after use, and if it is impossible, when the saw is not metal and not glass, then you will have to say goodbye with such an object.The family will have to forget the requirements to share scissors or nippers, this can destroy the infection throughout the family.
Baths will need to be washed in more detail than usual, preferably with powerful tools.It can also become a fungal carrier and will infect any visitor.
Careful removal of the epidermis and nails, if the skin is already leaving, also will not damage, and the nail is applied in any case, but this should be done so as not to damage a healthy skin.
Treatment with medication
Pharmacy medicines, contrary to the repeated internet of the stereotype, act very effectively.Pharmacists are no longer in vain trying and developing medicines.
The doctor may prescribe complex treatment, for example, taking tablets, oil and solution.This is the road to faster healing.
Home remedies for treatment
Filling the pharmacy funds from home is a great practice that will provide faster recovery.Of course, compliance should be discussed with a doctor so that it does not get worse, but such tactics can significantly accelerate recovery.
Home remedies are recommended in cases where for some reason there is no way to use traditional methods.
Before applying one of the methods, it is worth checking whether there is intolerance to any of its ingredients or contraindications.A natural remedy does not mean completely safe.
Salt baths and soda
One of the methods of popular treatment is bath with salt and soda.To do this, in a 1: 1 ratio, the ingredients are taken, poured with water, after dissolved, the legs are kept there for a quarter of an hour.
There is exactly the same recipe, but with the addition of laundry soap, the essential oils are also often added to salt and soda.There is no particular difference between the effectiveness between them.
The procedures are enough once a day, before going to bed.After each bathroom, be sure to dry your legs completely.
Plant bath
Plant baths will be effective based on a decoction or infusion:
- Wormwood book;
- Medicinal veronica;
- chamomiles;
- St. John's Wort;
- Horsetail;
- wise;
- Eucalyptus leaves.
To do this, prepare a strong infusion or decoction, mix with hot or moderate hot water and keep your feet from ten to twenty minutes there.You can add a little salt with essential oil of the tea tree in such baths.
One liter of water will take about two hundred and fifty or three hundred milliliters of boiling.The procedure will bring the effect if you do it regularly twice a day.
Bathroom
Prove two teaspoons of iodine in two liters of water, keep your feet in the solution, from a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes.The tool will help better if, after such a bath, rinse your feet with a herbal decoction.
Vinegar lotions
Vatu, whether a swab or a disc, should be moistened at nine percent vinegar and joined in infected sites.Particular attention should be paid to the little finger and the ring finger.The compresses should not take no more than five minutes.Then the legs are washed in warm water and you can already apply ointments.
Coffee bath
Quite strange, even coffee is used to treat fungi.To do this, the five coffee salons on the ground are produced in one liter of water.When the fluid is swollen, it is poured into the pelvis and the limbs are kept there for half an hour.The procedure should be done daily, for a month.
Compresses with the target of the birch
Previously, in warm water you need to evaporate the legs.Then you need to rub the pitch of the birch on sore stains and leave for two hours, covering with a napkin towel.The residues of the mixture at the end of the procedure should be removed, but not washed.With this procedure, the legs are not washed for two days and the compresses themselves should be made five times.It is believed that if the fungi are in the initial phase, then it will kill it without drugs.
By wiping with propolis
To do this, you only need a pharmacy solution of propolis and a cotton wool that is moist in the solution.This should be regularly deleted with sore spots, it does not matter whether it is a nail or skin.The course will last from one week to two months, depending on the severity of the issue.
What else to apply
To get rid of the fungus, they also use baths with hydrogen peroxide, celandine oil and turmeric paste.Special nail policies also have healing properties, although in the case of this type of fungus, its use will only be a prevention so that the infection does not spread to the nail plates, including in the hand, the infection, then the detachment does not begin.
A special pasta can be used, from zinc oxide and salicylic acid, but if it is not something insignificant, then you should not hope for great success.
How to cure a fungus in a child
Sometimes you need to treat children.They can become infected by playing on the spot and running barefoot, they can bring a disease from the kindergarten, and the school students from a pool or sports section.In this regard, they are no less vulnerable than adults.Many medicines from pharmacies and popular methods are forbidden for their fingers, so treatment of children is more difficult than adults.Children are treated with softer and softer remedies that will not affect the fragile body and will not poison it.
Experts recommend baths based on vegetable decoction, celandine, wormwood and other herbs if we are talking about very young patients.Treatment should correspond to the scheme when a break is made for the same period every ten days.
There are special medicines that can be prescribed to the child.Therapy should be done from one week to two, using the medicine twice a day.
In the case of a child fungus, you cannot prescribe medication yourself.Only a qualified specialist must do so.
How to be during pregnancy
In addition to common problems, pending mothers often have different problems with fungi of the legs or wings.This is due to the fact that the body experiences a double load and mainly consumes energy in the formation and keeping of the future baby.
During pregnancy and during lactation, you should carefully select the medication.They should be harmless not only for the mother but also for the baby.Most often, popular methods are assigned.But remember that they also have contraindications in the form of pregnancy and nutrition.If the doctor prescribes a medicine from traditional medicine, then these will not be the most powerful medicines, because those that fight intensely with the fungus will in any case enter the mother's body, and will be transmitted to the baby.
How this will affect - you can't say for sure, but nothing will eventually come out of this, even when the mother will already breastfeed.
PREVENTION
For mushrooms, those who regularly visit pools, saunas, fitness clubs and similar places are more susceptible to fungi or are forced to use public men.In this case, it is worth paying attention to prevention.
- Rubber slippers should become permanent guests of the bag when conceived a trip to such a place.
- The legs and slippers should only be with soap or other cleaners.
- The legs, and especially the space between the fingers, should always be completely wiped, drying out.
- All shoes should "breathe" and should not rub or squeeze the foot in any case.
- Forbidden is forbidden to take other hygiene people's objects - towels, objects to leave their feet.Also, you can't wear someone else's shoes.The same is true for socks.
- If it is assumed to be in a warm room for a long time, the shoes are needed.
- A healthy diet and a full related diet can support immunity and will not allow you to become infected with a fungus.
- If it is necessary to wear rubber shoes for a long time, for example, in a campaign, you should take care of the presence of a sufficient amount of clean cotton socks and regular rinsing of the feet at least only water.
- It is impossible to allow the hypothermia of the feet and even their light frost, and if this has happened, you should take action immediately so that the fungus does not have time to activate.
- If there is a problem with immunity, getting the immunostimulating agents of the plants will help.Extract Echinacea, Eleutherococcus or Rodiola Rosova are quite suitable.
cONcluSiON
Whatever the treatment is chosen, the first step should always be a visit to a specialist.This guarantees that the diagnosis will be made properly, and compliance with all appointments will lead to a full cure for fungi.Do not completely rely on your strength.A visit to the doctor is problematic and not always a nice business, but often this is the only one can choose the right treatment.
But the main conclusion that can be drawn is to prevent fungi is easier and more pleasant than to remove it later.It is not that difficult to bath for a week once a week, wash your feet with soap and do not irresponsibly tie your shoes.It is easy to teach the child to change their best and not share hygiene products with friends.
Very worrying later by walking doctors, staining with ointments, dots and, perhaps, drink tablets, tolerate terrible itching and other discomfort.
Any kind of treatment has reviews that you can impress on it.So they say about home methods that is quite possible to cure the disease, though it may take more time than they would like, but the price is usually so low that this factor blocks all the shortcomings.They say the drugs from the pharmacy that they may be cheap, but additional tools for relieving pain and different types of discomfort due to the disease that is easier to buy more expensive will be approximately the same.What all users mark is the comfort of all online explanations.If something raises questions or misunderstanding, there are many videos with explanations.Of course, recipe pages cannot replace the mycologist, but they can answer small questions.
