The fungus in the legs, additionally called mycosis, is a generalized type of infectious disease. The pathological condition of the feet is not always associated with non -compliance with hygiene: a fungal infection can be easily collected in public places. You can touch the heels, nails, feet, fingers, skin. At the same time, a person is characterized by sensations of pain, discomfort, unpleasant smell.
The powerful fungi can only become infected with one person, in turn, become a source of infection. The closest environment of the patient immediately falls into the risk group.
Active fungal propagation is facilitated by an alkal or weak alkal environment. For example, with abundant sweating, an opportunity is an opportunity to "extend" fungi in the closed skin of the legs. The fungus is not afraid of low temperatures: it is quite stable. After freezing, the ability to remain in the pathogen is not lost. The high temperature effect (above 70 degrees) destroys the fungus in an hour. In boiling water, the fungus "reaches the end" after three minutes. This distinctive feature can be used by disinfecting personal hygiene, clothing, linen, which contacted fungal colonies. Personal home articles are subject to boiling and ironed with an ironing. Shoes are cleaned with special solutions, for example, one percent formaline. The fungus will not live and 20 minutes after processing.
Every tenth resident of the Earth had to face a fungus. Often, men are carriers and distributors of fungal infection. They wear closed shoes for a long time. The women of this disease suffer less.
The causes of a fungi infection in the legs
As mentioned above, the fungi "love" the humid atmosphere. They spread rapidly in a favorable environment for them:
- in wet shoes;
- sauna;
- pool;
- gym;
- shower;
- In manicure, pedicure rooms through tools and accessories.
In those places where moisture is always present. The dry state of things and objects will only temporarily delay the reproduction of fungi. It is worth entering the environment that is familiar to life, since the growth process will resume.
Mycosis is more often than adults, pathology is practically not observed among children. As the number of years increases, the pH of the skin changes, the structure of its stratum corneum, immunity weakens and the body is subject to multiple diseases.
The appearance of the fungus also contributes to:
- Incorrect and irregular care of the feet;
- Use shoes with a "strange leg", of poor quality material;
- endocrine diseases;
- ostentinal pathologies;
- gastrointestinal diseases;
- Deteriorated blood circulation in the lower extremities;
- Stop the deformations;
- stressful situations;
- bad habits;
- repeated antibiotic therapy courses;
- anemia.
Not all patients, noticing the pathological condition of the feet, feeling an unpleasant smell, hurrying towards the doctor. The fungal reproduction process is neglected, respectively, is worse and more difficult to treat, demanding a patient's relationship for a long time. It should be remembered that the fungal colonies that infect the human body actively poison it with toxins. The situation is aggravated by the presence of open wounds, cuts, ulcers, etc.
Location and symptoms of a fungus injury
The appearance of the fungus in the legs depends on the infection that affects the skin:
- dermatitis;
- mycosis;
- Micosa
Fungi location also has its influence on the process of development of the disease, namely:
Most of the suffering, a person is taken to a person "five" fungal injuries. The feet and heels are covered with rough areas of the skin, scars, cracks. The infection is "passing": from one leg to another. In the significant redness of the foot, the peeled begins, the wounds appear with a greater formation of a thickened bark. The patient experiences painful itch, it hurts to walk, the leg swells to the ankle. Urgent treatment for medical aid is necessary, since the advanced form of the disease is tense with the rot of the infected skin.
The fungus between the fingers of the feet, submits the skin, the fingers in the nail with the formation of deep wounds. Small wounds appear, the upper layer of the epidermis occurs. The space between the fingers pica strongly, "burns", exudes bad odors. In case of contacting inopportune doctors, serious dermatological diseases may occur, difficult to treat, in form:
- Soriasis;
- eczema;
- dermatitis.
The nail plate, affected by fungal infection, is completely destroyed. The beginning of the pathological process is characterized by the formation of spots under the nails of cyanotic, white, yellow. Over time, the points increase in size, capturing all the nail plate. Thickening, deformation and destruction of the nail occur. The newly cultivated nail is also subject to fungal damage. Only a long treatment course will contribute to the restoration of a healthy nail.
The symptomatic image of the fungal damage to the legs is always clearly expressed in the form of certain locations. Therefore, pathology is easily determined at an early stage.
