Folk treatment of fungal diseases. Fungal diseases of the skin (mycoses) are caused by microscopic fungi that parasitize the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals. There are several groups of mycoses. The first group includes mycoses, the pathogens of which parasitize in the superficial parts of the stratum corneum, the integumentary layer of the skin; they do not cause inflammatory reactions in the body, do not cause pain, itching, do not affect the general condition of the body; patients are less contagious.

This group includes pityriasis versicolor, which is often found, especially in persons suffering from sweating. The second group includes highly contagious diseases, such as epidermophytosis and rubrophytosis of the feet. The causative agent affects the skin and nails of the feet. Sick people are the source of infection. Infection often occurs in the family when using other people’s socks, slippers, a basin for washing feet, and a washcloth. You can get infected in the bath, in the shower.

Predisposing factors of the fungus: sweating of the legs, skin abrasions, varicose veins of the legs. The fungus most often takes root in the skin of the interdigital folds of the feet, soles. The first sign of the disease is peeling of the skin of these areas.

Symptoms of the fungus
Peeling is replaced by bubbles of different sizes, first filled with a clear, then turbid liquid. The blisters break open with the formation of inflamed red, weeping areas, painful and itchy. The skin of the lateral surface of the fingers becomes white, loose, separated by layers. Then all manifestations disappear, but the fungus continues to live in the stratum corneum of the skin. Without treatment, the disease takes a chronic course with exacerbation in the warm season. Affected nails become dull, yellow spots appear in their thickness; nail plates thicken and crumble. Treatment of feet, especially with nail damage, is very difficult, long.

In the course of research, it turned out that men are most susceptible to fungal disease. Contribute to the appearance of the fungus: prolonged wearing of uncomfortable shoes made of artificial materials, some diseases in which blood flow to the legs is reduced (diabetes mellitus), leg injuries, old age, immunodeficiency states.

A moist environment is necessary for the reproduction and development of the fungus. That is why wet shoes or increased sweating of the feet contribute to the fastest fungal infection of the skin and nails. You can get infected with a fungus in a swimming pool, in the gym, in the shower, in the bathroom and in the bath. You can catch the fungus even if you just walk barefoot on the wet floor. This disease can spread through common objects, and also occur with a decrease in immunity. Infection with a fungus does not at all indicate poor human hygiene.
