Feet fungus: How does it manifest and how to deal with it?

The problem of treatment of toenail fungus is quite relevant.According to statistics, 50% of all diseases occur due to parasitic fungi.By installing the nail plate, they are able to multiply at rapid speed and then harm not only the nails but also the skin of the legs.

If this disease is not cured in time, it will be very difficult to return the previous appearance of the skin and nails.

How can you get to the toenail fungus?

There are two types of fungi.The first is "Onychomycosis". It only affects the nail plate.The second is "mycosis".The bacterium damages the skin around the nail.They can appear both together and separately.

Fungi can be contaminated by three factors: heat, humidity and damage (even a light zero).

In 80% of cases, the infection occurs if you visit the following places:

  1. Public baths, saunas.
  2. Pool.
  3. Sports, gyms.
  4. Cabinets of various sports and other facilities.
  5. Hotels and hotels where there is a carpet.
  6. Beauty salons (through manicure supplies).
  7. Beach.

I note that most often those who do not take care of their feet properly suffer from fungus:

  1. Does not wash them.
  2. Wears closed shoes in the warm season.
  3. He puts someone else's slippers when visiting, or even wearing someone else's shoes.
  4. It does not dry your feet long after washing.

In addition, if there are circulatory disorders, low immunity, obesity, diabetes, HIV, then a person can easily be infected by this unpleasant disease.

Points and symptoms of toenail fungus

After every trip to the pool, public bathroom, gym and other places, you should carefully consider your feet and nails.It turns out that signs and symptoms can be detected almost immediately after infection.

First of all, nail plates change:

  • The shadow of the nails becomes yellow or brown.
  • Small white spots appear.
  • There will be strips of yellow, brown, and even black.
  • The nail can be thicker.
  • The deformation and change in the shape of the nail plate appears.

  • Cracks may occur between the fingers.

If you notice any symptoms, go to the doctor or pharmacy for products that will help you get rid of bacteria.

How to quickly cure Toenail fungi - effective anti -disease drugs

I didn't have the opportunity to visit a doctor, so I decided to read reviews online from those who used the drugs.And only then did I go to buy medicines.I will list the most effective and better treatments.

If you have problems with immunity, diabetes or over 50 years, then you can buy pills for this disease.

foot tablets

It is not advisable for other people to take tablets, since their effectiveness is significantly lower than creams and ointments and can cause the following side effects:

  • A healthy appetite will disappear.
  • The taste will disappear.
  • There will be stomach problems.
  • Vomiting and allergies may occur.

Any fungal tablets are especially contraindicated for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and those who have liver and kidney problems.
