No one wants to hurt.Moreover, something that makes you look unattractive, itching, and your feet, especially in the summer, will force you to blush ugly, covered with spots and the like.Particularly painful, even a slight manifestation will be transferred from adolescents.After all, they are particularly reverential to their appearance.But the fungus is a treacherous disease and can affect when they are less awaited.In order not to catch on his network, you need to know all the ways to identify it, the methods of prevention and the most important thing - treatment.
The reasons for the interdigital fungus
When the fungus affects the legs, the question arises as to why this happened, what is the reason why the disease can hit a healthy, at first glance, a limb, because nothing has carried problems.The leg looked strong and the next moment he was already cracking suspiciously and a strange peel appeared.And now the doctor says that these are not just the disadvantages of care, but a sponge.How can this happen, what is the reason?
The first and most clear, the reason is the favorable conditions for the development of yeast, mold or dermatophytes.Then the limbs should not be sick so a sponge appears.
Other reasons are also prosaic.Ignoring the basic rules for the safe visit to public baths, changing rooms or saunas, and moreover:
- The body is overworked, weakened immunity and opposes the pathogenic "guests", which one simply has no power, strangely, there are constant tensions and loads of the nerves;
- Diabetes sugar;
- Dermatitis and diaper rash;
- any diseases of the circulatory system, including vein thrombosis;
- Severe humidity and sweating of the legs, with a mismatch of hygiene rules and wearing nonsense and socks;
- A touched rubber band of the sock, however strange, can also serve as a cause, disturbing blood circulation in the legs and especially if adverse shoes are wearing.
Such a fungus can be not only on the legs.Signs can be found in the examination of the palm and fingers.
Symptoms
Symptoms, especially at the very beginning of the disease, may look insignificant and do not require special attention, but they cannot be ignored, even if it looks like a simple redness or irritation of the skin that seem to have no cause.It is necessary to contact a specialist immediately so that he or she can clarify the diagnosis and prescribe treatment.If there are doubts, then you can see a photo of this type of fungus and compare to what is happening with your feet.Symptoms will be as follows:
- There is weak itching between the fingers;
- In these areas, a bowel of peeling appears;
- The skin becomes inflamed, rebels and begins to climb under and between them;
- There is an unpleasant odor;
- Cracks with peeling edges appear;
- There are ulcers and cracks that are wet.
The disease can only start with one leg or even one interdigber space and look harmless redness or peeling.If you notice this on time, you cannot allow Overfet to spread and heal everything quite quickly.
Information options
There are two types of infection with a fungal disease.These are direct and indirect species.Indirection implies infection by:
- Things of a sick person, this is especially true when someone is already ill in the family, so it is worth using only their things;
- Things that sick animals are associated with.
Direct view is understood as such ways of infection:
- Through a walk on the soil without shoes (this is not necessary to lead to a disease, such as a walk barefoot on the grass, but care should still be observed, especially if there are microtraumas on the skin);
- through physical contact with a sick person;
- By contact with an infected animal.
In order to prevent any of the options, it is sufficient to monitor preventative measures and not leave damage to the skin at the stop.
What are the forms of the disease
There are four forms and stages of fungal damage characteristic of interdigital disease:
- Deleted look.The initial stage.The skin dries, covered with cracks, peel off, descends.This happens between the fingers and below them.
- A breathtaking appearance.A larger shape.It has a characteristic characteristic - the appearance of bubbles filled with liquid, which eventually bursts.With this shape, the fingers are itching a lot.
- Intrigued.The infection affects the skin not only between the fifth and fourth finger, as often happens, but also under the little finger and between the third and fourth finger.The skin between the fingers blushes.
- Squamin-hyperkeratotic appearance.A distinctive feature is the redness and the presence of stamps at the point of the tops of the top.Such formations are similar to calluses.In this case, the itching becomes almost unbearable.This is considered to be a very severe form of the disease.
If at least minor symptoms appear to be associated with a mycologist or dermatologist immediately.
Measures in the treatment
Mycosis of the toes is not easy and long.To deal with it, you need to take a whole set of measures.Everything is complicated by the fact that the fungus can be paired with an infection that will perfectly feel the skin of a damaged disease.Cools, crusts, inflammation and similar phenomena show that the fungi are 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 have been contact with the infected leg must be carefully disinfected and this should be done until a complete recovery.This is especially true for shoes.Warks, mushrooms and home slippers will need to be discarded, they cannot get the infection from them and even transfer it.
All pedicure accessories 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 need to say goodbye to such an object.The household will have to forget about the applications for sharing scissors or grains, this can break the infection throughout the family.
The bathroom will need to be washed more than usual, preferably with strong cleaning products.It can also become a fungus carrier and will infect any visitor.
Careful removal of the epidermis and nails, if the skin is already peeling off, will also not harm and this applies to the nail in any case, but this must be done so as not to damage the healthy skin.
Medication
Pharmacy medicines, contrary to the stereotype reproduced on the Internet, are very effective.It is not in vain for pharmacists to try to develop medicines.
The doctor may prescribe complex treatment, for example, taking tablets, ointment and solution.This is the way to the fastest recovery.
Home remedies
Complementing drugs for home -made drugs is an excellent practice that will provide faster healing.Of course, compatibility should be discussed with a doctor in order not to make things worse, but such tactics can significantly accelerate recovery.
Home remedies are also recommended in cases where for some reason it is not possible to resort to traditional methods.
Before using any of the methods, it is worth checking that there is an intolerance to any of its components or contraindications.The natural product does not mean completely safe.
Salt and soda baths
One of the popular treatments is baths with salt and soda.To do this, take the ingredients in a 1: 1 ratio, add water and after you dissolve them, keep your feet there for a quarter of an hour.
There is exactly the same recipe, but with the addition of laundry soap and essential oils are often added to salt and soda.There is no big difference between them in terms of efficiency.
The procedure is sufficient once a day before you go to bed.After each bathroom, be sure to dry your feet well.
Herbal baths
Herbal baths will be effective based on decoction or infusion:
- Pelin book;
- Veronica Medical;
- chamomile;
- St. John's Pete;
- horsetail;
- sage;
- Eucalyptus leaves.
To do this, prepare a strong infusion or decoction, mix with warm or moderate warm water and keep your feet ten to twenty minutes there.You can add some salt with tea tree essential oil to such baths.
A liter of water will need about two hundred and fifty or three hundred milliliters of the decoction.The procedure will have the effect if you do it regularly twice a day.
Iodine
Dilute two teaspoons of iodine in two liters of water, keep your feet in the solution, for a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes.The tool will help you better if you rinse your feet with herbal decoction after such a bathroom.
Vinegar lotions
A vatu, or a swab, or a disk, must be moistened in nine percent vinegar and be attached to infected areas.Particular attention should be paid to the little finger and the ring.The compress should not last for no more than five minutes.Then the legs are washed in warm water and you can now apply ointments.
Coffee bath
Strangely enough, even coffee is used to treat fungi.To do this, five sun loungers of ground coffee are boiled in a liter of water.When the liquid inflates, it is poured into the pool and the limbs are kept there for half an hour.The procedure should be performed daily for one month.
Birch target compresses
Before that, in warm water, you should suffocate your legs.You should then rub the birch tar into inflamed spots and leave for two hours, covering with a cloth cloth.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 sponge is in the initial stage, it will kill it without medication.
Propolis deletion
To do this, you only need a pharmacy from propolis and cotton wool, which is moistened in a tincture.This should be regularly wiped with inflamed spots, no matter if it is a nail or skin.The course will last from a week to two months, depending on the severity of the case.
What else to apply
To get rid of the fungi, they also use hydrogen peroxide baths, celendine oil and turmeric paste.Special nail polishes also have healing properties, although in the case of this type of fungus, its use will only be a prophylaxis so that the infection does not spread to the nail plaques, including the arm, the infection, after which the squad does not begin.
A special zinc oxide and salicylic acid paste may be used, but if it is something insignificant, then you should not hope for great success.
How to Heal Fungi In A Child
Sometimes you have to treat children.They can become infected by playing in the country and running barefoot, they can bring a kindergarten disease and students from a pool or sports section.In this regard, they are no less vulnerable to adults.Many drugs from pharmacies and folk methods are prohibited for their fingers, so treatment of children is more difficult than adults.Children are treated with more gentle and soft remedies that will not affect the fragile organism and will not poison it.
Experts recommend baths based on herbal decoction, celandine, wormwood and other herbs if we are talking about very small patients.Treatment should match the regimen when resting for the same period every ten days.
There are special medicines that can be prescribed to the child.Therapy should be performed from a week to two, using the medicine twice a day.
In the case of a baby sponge, you cannot prescribe any medicines yourself.Only a qualified specialist has to do this.
How to be during pregnancy
In addition to ordinary problems, expectant mothers often have different problems with the fungus of the legs or hands.This is due to the fact that the body experiences a double load and mainly consumes energy to form and carry the future baby.
During pregnancy and during lactation, you should carefully choose medicines.They should be harmless not only to the mother but also to the child.Folk methods are most commonly appointed.But remember that they also have contraindications in the form of pregnancy and nutrition.If the doctor prescribes medicine from traditional medicine, then it will not be the most powerful medicines, because those who intensively fight the fungi in any case will enter the mother's body and will be handed to the child.
How this will affect - you cannot say for sure, but it will definitely not come out of it, even when the mother will already breastfeed him.
Prevention
For fungi, those who regularly visit pools, saunas, fitness clubs and similar places are most vulnerable to fungi or are forced to use public showers.In this case, it is worth paying attention to prevention.
- Rubber slippers should become permanent guests on the bag when you think a trip to such a place.
- The legs and slippers should only be with soap or other detergents.
- The legs, and especially the space between the fingers, must always be wiped off, drying.
- All shoes should "breathe" and do not have to rub or squeeze their feet in any case.
- It is forbidden to take objects on other people's hygiene - towels, leaving items.Also, you can't wear someone else's shoes.The same goes for socks.
- If it is supposed to be in a warm room for a long time, shoes are required.
- A healthy diet and a complete diet can support immunity and will not allow you to become infected with a sponge.
- If it is necessary to wear rubber shoes for a long time, for example, during a campaign, you should take care of the presence of enough clean cotton socks and regular rinsing your feet at least only water.
- It is impossible to allow for hypothermia of the legs and even their mild frost, and if this still happens, you should take action immediately so that the sponge does not have time to activate.
- If there are problems with immunity, the intake of deficiency plant agents will help.Echinacea, Eleutherococcus or Rodiola Rosova are quite appropriate.
Conclusion
Whatever treatment is chosen, the first step should always be a visit to a specialist.This guarantees that the diagnosis will be made properly and adherence to all meetings will lead to complete treatment of the fungi.Do not fully rely on your strength.A doctor's visit is disturbing and not always a nice business, but often this is the only one that can choose the right treatment.
But the main conclusion that can be drawn is to prevent the sponge is easier and more enjoyable than to remove it later.It is not so difficult to bathe for a week once a week, wash your feet with soap and not connect irresponsibly with the shoes.It is easy to get used to the child to change the best of yourself and not to share hygiene products with friends.
Very disturbing later walking on doctors, grease with ointments, drops and possibly, possibly drinking tablets, tolerate terrible itching and other discomfort.
Each type of treatment has examinations through which you can impress it.So, they say about home methods that it is quite possible to cure the disease, although it can take longer than they would like, but the price is usually so low that this factor blocks all the disadvantages.They are said to be pharmacy medicines that they can be cheap, but additional pain relief medications and various types of discomfort due to the disease that is easier to buy more expensive, will be approximately the same.What all users note is the convenience of all the explanations on the Internet.If something raises questions or misunderstanding, there are many videos with explanation.Of course, recipe sites cannot replace the mycologist, but they can answer minor questions.
