This is the general name of infectious diseases that affect a person's foot, the nails on the legs or arms.In medicine, these pathologies are called mycose, an entire group of disorders caused by microscopic mushrooms.
The onychomycosis stands out: the damage to the nails and the dermatomicosis - is located on the skin of the legs.The disease is often an independent disorder, as a rule, develops against the background of the disorders of various genesis.As the foot mushroom appears, the location of the type of pathogen depends.
There are a large number of mushroom species, however only some of them cause pathological changes in humans.The mycosis of the feet occupies the prevalence of 2nd place among all skin diseases.The following groups of mushrooms are distinguished, which are dangerous for health:
- Anthropophile.I try pathologies only in people, you can be infected with another person.
- Zooantrophilic.They can also cause diseases in animals, the infection comes from animals and other people.
- Candidate.A separate type of yeast mushrooms, which has its characteristics.
There are different types of pathologies that have similar signs, this includes column and epidermophythosis.They are combined under the general definition of "Mikoza Stop".The symptoms of the mushroom on the legs are divided depending on the type, but often develop in parallel, so this distinction is subordinated.The following forms of pathology are distinguished:
- scaly;
- Interiginosny;
- Dyshidrotic;
- Onychomicosis, which is divided into: normotrophic, atrophic, hypertrophic.
The scientific name of the disease is onychomycosis.The infection affects the skin, mainly on the lower limbs, the nails plates.Yeast and molds fall on an unprotected surface.
The foot mushroom is a fairly common disease transmitted by people through the general use of objects.It is interesting to note that its distribution occurs very quickly, while the development of the disease is concentrated in the area of the areas between the fingers on the legs.
Causes
The infection in question occurs with direct contact with the mushroom, whose reproduction occurs very quickly in the environment of the warm and wet surfaces of the skin.It is possible to infect the foot mushroom due to the contact established with the human skin with its mushroom.
The situations in which the transmission of the mushroom is carried out through tools used for manicures and pedicures, as well as through shoes and towels, are no exception.
Very often, damage to the foot to the foot occurs between people who have problems with excess weight and circulation in the blood legs and people with the deformation of the feet are often subject to it.Violations in the immune system, caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, use antibiotics in the treatment of antibiotics, as well as malnutrition, also determine the possibility of infection with the foot mushroom.
Wet skin, cracks, foot irritation, pathogenic mushrooms and conditionally pathogens cause pathogens and conditionally.The types of mushrooms are as follows:
- Pathogenic mushroom species when it enters the skin leads to the development of the inflammatory process, a fungal disease occurs;
- Pathogenic microorganisms are constantly constantly on the skin and greater activity is manifested only with the action of provocative factors.
The source of infection is people who suffer from mycosis.The pathogenic flora enters healthy skin in places of accumulation of people.Comfortably various types of mushrooms develop in conditions of heat and high humidity.
Places of infection:
- swimming pools;
- bathrooms;
- changing rooms in sports centers;
- public showers;
- saunas;
- Fitness centers.
Important!Never go barefoot in the common areas.For lessons in a sports club, the swimming pool, when you go to the Turkish bath, take the special shoes with you.
Some professions are at risk.The reason is a long stay of the legs in a closed, warm and humid environment.Fungine skin lesions often suffer:
- miners;
- athletes;
- military;
- Hot Shop Speals.
Be careful!Mycosis often develop in those who are obliged to wear closed shoes, regardless of whether they are at ease at their feet or not.The description of the work for many professions prescribes boots as a special unit also in the hot season.It is very difficult to fight mycosis in such conditions.
Other causes of fungal diseases:
- Bad legive legs of the legs;
- Skin trauma;
- reduced immunity;
- adaptation shoes without nylon sock;
- Complications for diabetes.
Types and symptoms of a foot mushroom
There are many varieties of mushrooms.
The skin of the feet most often influences the following types:
- The red tricophyll damages the feet and heels;
- The interdigital tricophy is distributed in the interbacking area and in advanced cases it affects the feet, the skin of the thumb and the epidermis on the little finger;
- Mentagrofiti tricopites: a type of fungal infection that develops in the skin on the human body (armpits, inguinal folds);
- Candida mushroom - The infection causes the candidiasis of the mucous membranes and genitals, but there are also lesions of the skin of the feet.
The dermatophyte can cause the local lesion of the skin.The name of such a disease of the epidermophitosis is a very contagious pathology, which develops intensely on the human body.

- Interdalz dermatophytic in acute and chronic forms;
- Mochacino-Sicut;
- Vesicular, ulcer.
The general symptoms of the disease are serious itching and burning, skin irritation, followed by particles peeling.These are these signs that can be seen more often on the photo on the internet with which the Internet is full.
Dermatophytosis Interdalz
What is this form?The most common, mainly located between the 4th and 5th toes of the foot.It occurs in the form of cracks: with a wet shape, the skin seems swollen and with a dry piece that detaches and falls.
Often, together with Interdaldi dermatologists, other bacterial infections affect the foot.The advanced form begins.Symptoms are improved and unpleasant sensations - the patient feels strong pain, which cannot get rid of.
The initial phase of the interdigital form of the mushroom.
If the skin has broken, the blood can act, causing further suffering.The psychological factor arrives - Some people are trying to independently tear the peeling particles of the skin, and this is not recommended to do it, since a new infection occurs.The disease is aggravated.
The common name "athletes of the foot" concerns this form of the mushroom on the feet.It is quite difficult, caused by the negligence of the treatment, but it is easier to recognize.With this pathology, nail plates are affected, which begin to change color in black, green, blue or yellow.Transparency is lost, the nails are gradually deformed, pour and crumble.
The foot at that moment is peeling, covers with stairs on the sides.The leg becomes like a moccasin.
A fairly rare form of the disease, if compared with Interdaltsevo and Mochacino-Sicut.The blisters with muddy liquid occur on the entire surface of the foot.Over time, they mature and burst.

The additional signs noted in patients are:
- itching and constant burning;
- Scroll, the skin is pose;

The causes of the development of the disease
The source of the disease is a person with a foot mushroom, whose leather particles have remained on objects or in places of public use.It can be bathrooms, swimming pools, changing rooms and showers.The onychomycosis feels good with high humidity and is stable at low temperature.
Very often, the causes of the development of the disease are:
- Anti -fe thatish in beauty salons, when pedicure tools do not elaborate or hurt it;
- The use of other people's things: towels, canvas, combs;
- Insufficient hygiene, increase in the sweating of the legs.
Non -compliance with hygiene or excessive sweating of the legs leads to the foot mushroom
But a contact with the exciting microorganism is not enough.There are further risk factors that aggravate the situation and improve, accelerate the development of the disease.
These include:
- foot and nail injuries, because when infected, the disease often passes to the skin;
- Reduce immunity.As soon as this happens, microorganisms begin to attack with a revenge, get rid of them becomes much more difficult;
- HIV infection;
- bad habits - alcoholism, smoke, excess food;
- Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus;
- Lymphostasis of the lower ends.
Phases and their events
The defeat of the legs with microorganisms of pathogenic flora has several phases or clinical forms of its development on the skin:
- eco or initial phase;
- Interdigital infection;
- Squamous-seiperkeatotic form;
- Dyshidrotic stadium (wet mushroom).
Popular remedies for the treatment of the mushroom
The folk methods of treatment can only be used as auxiliary agent.As a main method of treatment of mushrooms, popular remedies are ineffective, but they can improve the therapeutic effect of drugs.
First of all, the bathrooms are used.They have an antifungal and steam effect on the skin, improves the penetration of the components of ointments and solutions from the mushroom in the deep layers of the epidermis.The bathrooms can be performed according to the following recipes.
