Foot fungus can affect anyone with feet. Although it is the cleanest person, it is subject to hygiene procedures.
Why do mushrooms appear on the feet, and how to deal with this unpleasant disgusting phenomenon?
How do foot fungus grow?
Although a person washes his feet regularly and regularly, he cannot wash all the bacteria from them. They only get smaller, but they do not disappear completely. And as a person steps on the ground, shoes, boots, or sneakers that are slippery or more suitable for bacteria multiply very, very quickly.
In a hot and humid environment, especially if your feet are sweating, the fungus is simply widespread. If such an environment coincides with the inflammatory process in the body, poor resistance to infections or excessive sweating of the legs - write it all down. The mushrooms are there.
Signs of fungus on the feet
It affects the area between the toes, the nails, the soles of the feet, and the upper part of the foot remains untouched. If the fungus already has a chronic stage, the skin of the legs and other parts of the body is very dry, there are crusts, keratinized skin flakes, micro-cracks.
A red inflamed strip is clearly visible along the border of the area where the fungus is located, behind which the skin becomes rough, dry and scaly.
If the fungus is not treated for a long time, noticeable cracks appear on the skin behind the area of the fungus, which are very painful. If a bacterial infection is added to them, severe pain occurs in the legs, which puts a person in a hospital bed, because it is impossible to walk because of this pain.
Is the fungus transmitted from another person?
There is a widespread belief (and many believe) that fungi can be transmitted from person to person. True, if a person has already acquired a fungus, it spreads very quickly to the entire area of the foot.
To prevent the process from becoming painful and depriving a person of the ability to walk, it is necessary to start fungal treatment in the early stages of the disease.

If there are cracks in the legs, you should wrap the affected area to protect it from the penetration of pathogenic bacteria.
