The fungus of the foot and nails is a very common disease that causes people more aesthetics than physical problems. However, you should know that the fungi that are actively multiplying on the skin and nails of a person release toxins, which are products of their vital activity. Once in the blood, these substances have been able to poison the body for many years, affecting all organs and systems, constantly inhibiting the immune system.
Who treats which doctor to contact? Mycologist.
For justice, it should be said that the initial infection with a fungus of healthy skin or nails occurs against the background of already reduced immunity, but the rapid reproduction of fungi in the tissues of the body enhances the immune defect. Maybe that's why many people treat their feet at home without much success. In order not to be in vain, you approach the solution to this problem with the knowledge of the matter.
This is a very common problem, but if we analyze the causes of its occurrence, it turns out that receiving fungi is not so simple. It is important that the meeting with the pathogenic fungus is combined with at least two of the points below.
Any reasons for the fungus of the feet can always be controlled by performing simple precautions.
To spread the fungus, wet and warm conditions are required, which is kindly provided by poor quality shoes. However, all the shoes you have hired or inherited is potentially dangerous in terms of the presence of a fungal infection. Even if you know for sure that the owner is not a new couple has no fungus on their feet. Perhaps he himself does not suspect the presence of this problem, for the simple reason that it is slightly expressed. After all, the characteristics of local immunity are individual to all. It is also great that fungi can feel in the soul for a long time if it is not regularly removed with the help of cleaning products.
The transmission of the fungus to the beach is unlikely: dry sand is not the best place for autonomous fungi forms, and salt seawater acts on fungi.
The most common and often due to the problem is the fungal damage to the foot. One suffers from heels of heels, dryness or peeling of the skin of the foot and does not suspect that the main cause of his or her problems is a fungal infection.
Onychomycosis - fungal nail damage. Often they are a continuation of the long -term infection of the foot, although they can also act as a primary fungal lesion.
When choosing an antifungal drug, the name of the pathogen often matters. The most common agents are Trichophyton Rubrum, Trichophyton Interdigitale, Epidermophyton Floccosum.
Depending on the experience of the disease and its localization, the symptoms of the fungus on the legs can vary slightly.
At the onset of infection and until flakes and cracks occur, the patient is concerned about the itching of the foot. In addition, it can be so pronounced that it can be annoyed even during sleep.
The next step may be the appearance of excessive dry skin, deep non -stick cracks on the heels. The nails change color, become more childish.
In the future, the affected nails are noticeably deformed, collapsed in the skin or, back, form the cavity between the bed and the plate.
All these processes are carried out against the background of systematic intoxication of the fungal products of life. Perhaps the development of psoriasis, eczema, allergic dermatitis.
Today, there are antifungal drugs that can effectively eliminate fungal infection from the human body. The necessary condition for treatment is a long -term administration of the drug in fairly large doses. The best effect of using such drugs is achieved using the pulse therapy method when the shock doses of antifungal agent are used by short courses, followed by a long interruption.
Also, different remedies are used to treat fungi: ointments, creams, varnishes, movies and more. All these substances also contain an antifungal agent, but their use is not always effective. If the characteristics of the penetration of the active substance into the skin in certain areas of the foot are not taken into account, then the use of even expensive medicine will be imperceptible. The dry skin, the larger one you need to choose the base: for the heel the ointment is better for the space between the fingers -suspension or gel. It is better for nails to use special varnishes. You can use the cream, but at the same time the nail should be stuck as much as possible or simply remove the surgeon in the office. All medicines do not penetrate the intact nails. 
Systemic antifungal agents are always used with the locals. In the initial stages of the disease or for other reasons that do not allow the use of strong medicines, it is possible to use extremely topical medicines.
During pregnancy, any treatment can have unwanted consequences. As the process of developing a fungal infection is long, it is recommended that you refrain from serious measures until the end of the lactation period.
There is no ability to take antifungal medicines, there is a long time to wait for ointments for ointments. How to cure the fungus on the feet of the house rather than at risk of toxic damage to the body? Simple and effective home recipes will help your problem.
The main thing in treating is your discipline and a desire to get rid of the disease.
