The fungus can be installed on any part of the body, but more often it affects the skin of the legs.This is due to the wear of the shoes, which was much worse than the clothes.The legs still sweat strongly and blood circulation in them often slows down, especially in the elderly and people with chronic diseases.All of this creates excellent conditions for the dissemination of pathogenic fungi.About 70% of people at least once in their lives met with fungus and in 20% are in persistent form.To get rid of the fungus, you must first recognize and determine the type of pathogen.Since the disease can be treated at home.
How the fungus looks and manifests
Fungal diseases are called fungi.Dermatomy can grow on the feet - a skin fungus or ovocyte - nail damage.They are often combined as the infection spreads rapidly in nearby areas.
The incidence of different pathogens is distributed as follows:
- In 80-90% of cases, dermatophytes cause the disease.There are many varieties of these parasitic fungi: hairy, skin and others.With these fungi, it is easy to infect when you visit public spaces, as their differences live in the environment for a long time, especially with high humidity.
- At 5-10%, damage was found with microflora dough representatives.The disease is typical of people with reduced immunity and sweating, since mushrooms are candidates in conditional pathogens and live in the human body since birth.
- At about the same frequency as candidiasis, there is fungus caused by molds.They usually affect the thumbs in people over 60 years of age.
- In analyzes, various pathogens are often detected, even by different groups.At the same time, mixed infections give a complex clinical picture, so a diagnosis is required - it will allow the selection of preparations suitable for treatment.
The fungus on the legs looks different.Sometimes it can be determined at first sight.However, deletions forms can be disguised as other diseases and situations:
- Eczema, psoriasis, neurodermititis.
- Onodistrophy (changes in nails as a result of breach of food processes);
- nail injuries;
- Bacterial infections.
- Fisheries and others.
This is the second important reason why you need to consult a doctor to make a final diagnosis.

Folk methods of fungus treatment
Up to 50% of patients with fungus are trying to be treated with folk remedies.The reasons are different - from the desire to save themselves in reluctance to consult a doctor with a "shameful" wound.Some products, traditionally used by the fungus, really help to fight infection, but you need to choose them wisely and not expect the impossible.

Osyocycosis is treated more and more difficult than a simple fungus.This procedure can be accelerated if you remove the plate affected by the pathogen.Today, surgery is not required for it.The nails are removed with lasers, a special spray device or chemical lightning agents.
Vinegar
Natural vinegar, apple or wine helps to remove the feet fungus due to change in the skin of the skin.Dermatophytes love an alkaline environment, so vinegar is catastrophic for them.Baths are used with adding 6 or 9% vinegar (3 tablespoons per 1 liter of hot water).The legs are held in them for 15-20 minutes, and then dry with a towel (changes every day).Repeat the baths every day before bedtime for two weeks.

To prevent, such baths are done once a month, which allows you to forget about the fungus, the sweating of the feet, the cracks in the heels.

Reviews on the treatment of foot fungus by folk methods
It is strange that they do not write anything about tar soap.It helped me with the fungus.The shelf should be grated and dissolved in water.Lower your feet for half an hour.On the first day my skin went with pieces, I took it out with my hands, sometimes the Terpy Ter.A week later, the legs were like a pink baby, healthy.Only then is it necessary to stain the hand cream, the soap is very dried.
From the fungus between the fingers, I made the following synthesis: Glycerin and 1: 1 acetic acid. Glycerin in pharmacies is sold, cheap.There is an incomplete bubble, you can pour vinegar and move right on it.He was lubricating this between the fingers every day, after a week the cracks were healed.
Many medicines are impossible for children because their skin is thin, thin.Therefore, children from the fungus are good in applying raw potatoes.It relieves itching and cures combs, but it is necessary to be treated for a long time, about a month.
