Fungus can settle everywhere, but often it affects the skin.This is due to wearing shoes, which ventilates is much worse than clothes.The feet are still sweating hard, and the blood circulation is often slow, especially in the elderly and people with chronic illnesses.All of this creates an excellent condition for the spread of pathogens.About 70% of people at least in their lives discover micosis, and in 20% they exist in a continuous form.To get rid of fungus, you need to recognize and identify the type of pathogen.After the disease can be treated at home.
How the fungus looks and real
Fungal disease is called mycosis.Dermatomycosis can develop in the feet - skin fungus, or onychomycosis - damage to the nails.They are often combined, as the infection quickly spreads to nearby areas.
The frequency of different pathogens are distributed as follows:
- In 80-90% of cases, dermatophytes cause the disease.There are many types of fungus of this parasite: trichophytits, epidermophyton and others.With this fungus, it is easy to be infected when visiting public places, as their disputes live in the environment for a long time, especially with high humidity;
- In 5-10%, damage was found with representatives of microflora such as yeast.The disease is a characteristic of people who are reduced to immunity and sweating, as mushrooms are candidates for pathogenic and live in the human body from their birth;
- At about the same frequency as candidiasis, there are microses caused by mold.They usually affect the thumb in people over 60;
- In analysis, some pathogens are often detected, even from different groups.At the same time, mixed infections provide a complex clinical picture, so a diagnosis is required - it will make it possible to choose the right preparation for treatment.
The fungus on the feet looks different.Sometimes it can be determined from the first sight.However, the extinguished form can be disguised as a disease and other conditions:
- eczema, psoriasis, neurodermatitis;
- Onodistrophy (nail changes as a result of trophic process violations);
- nail injury;
- bacterial infections;
- Ichthyosis and others.
This is the second important reason you need to consult your doctor to make a final diagnosis.

Foot fungal treatment
Fungicide preparations for external and internal use are intended for the treatment of skin mycoses.If the disease is in the early stages it does not affect the nails, it is easy to cure with ointment, creams, solutions that can be purchased anywhere in the pharmacy.
The main antimicrotic drug:

On their basis, both expensive, cheap and cheap ways are produced.Prices may vary ten times, so you can ask your doctor to name an alternative option if he prescribes expensive drugs.
The folk method of mikosis treatment
Up to 50% of pain with mycosis is trying to treat folk medicine.The reason is different - from the desire to save the refusal to consult a doctor with a "shameful" illness.Some products, which are traditionally used from fungus, really help fight infections, but you need to choose them wisely and not wait for impossible.
Features -People's Recipe Features:
- It is required to use it for a long time and frequently - there will be no quick results;
- It is important to consider the possibility of allergic reactions, individual sensitivity and intolerance to components;
- Do not trust healers who say you can cure nail or skin fungus for a non -traditional drug use.To get rid of the disease is unrealistic.
Onychomycosis is treated longer and more difficult than easy fungus.This process can be accelerated if you remove the plate affected by the pathogen.Today, surgical intervention is not required for this.Nails are removed with lasers, special devices with keratolytic or chemical keratolytic agents.
Vinegar
Natural vinegar, apples or wine, helps remove foot fungus due to skin changes.Dermatophytes love the alkaline environment, so vinegar is a disaster for them.For treatment, bath with a 6 or 9% vinegar is used (3 tablespoons per 1 liter of hot water).The feet are held for 15-20 minutes, then dried with a towel (it changes daily).Repeat the bath daily before bedtime for two weeks.
Soda
Drill soda is useful for candidiasis, as mushrooms like yeast prefer a slightly acidic environment.For therapeutic baths in 1 liter of hot water, 2 tablespoons.L. soda and 1 teaspoon.iodine.Another recipe: 2 tbsp.L. soda and 1 tbsp.L. Sea salt.After bathing, it is necessary to rinse the feet with clean water.

Tannin, knit solid oak material on the top of the skin and fungus cannot penetrate deeper.But the value is never ending with this.Oak Bark has the following healing properties:
- anti -inflammation;
- healing;

For prevention, such a bath is made once a month, which allows you to forget about fungus, sweating, cracking in the heel.
Celandine oil
These are universal cosmetics and therapeutic products that can be used for different purposes, including in the fight against fungus.It has the following properties:

Another product that helps to quickly get rid of fungus on the feet and unpleasant odors.For treatment, you need to use 100%essential oil.It is best to melt it yourself, as cosmetic oil or massage purchased may contain too small concentrations of the desired product.
Tea trees are used in the same way as celandine, after melting essential oils with a base (olive, coconut or other) in a rate of 1 to 3. For preventive purposes, it is recommended to add it to the foot bath (10 drops of a liter of water).
Garlic
Effective, but unpleasant smelly and unsafe remedies for fungus.Garlic juice is very caustic, with the careless handling you can get strong burns.In addition, the aroma of this plant is very persistent, it has not disappeared for a long time.However, being on sick leave or vacation, you can try the following folk recipes:

Reviews of foot fungal treatment by folk method
It's strange that they don't write anything about tar soap.It helps me from fungus.The shelves must be grated and dissolved in water.Reduce your feet for half an hour.On the first day my skin went with slices, I took it with my hands, sometimes.A week later, feet are like pink, healthy.Only at that time, it was necessary to kiss the hand cream, soap was very dry.
From the fungus between the fingers, I make the following composition: glycerin and acetic acid 1: 1. Glycerin in the pharmacy is sold, it's cheap.There is an incomplete bubble, you can pour vinegar and shake it.Lubricate this between fingers every day, after a week of cracking.
Many medicines are impossible for children, because their skin is thin, smooth.Therefore, the children of the fungus are good for using raw potato gruel.She relieves itching and heals the brush, but needs to be treated for a long time, about a month.
