Fungus between toes. Treatment is possible!

Violation of foot hygiene can lead to the fact that you will have a fungus between your toes. Treatment is conducted in conditions of reducing the impact of factors affecting the development of infection. It is easiest to pick up the fungus in a state of vitamin deficiency, with reduced immunity and impaired metabolism. A high sweating of the patient can also contribute to infection.

Lack of personal hygiene, poor care of the feet, wounds on the legs, use of someone else's shoes or clothes can cause a fungus between the toes. The treatment is quite affordable, but it is necessary to exclude hiking in the baths, saunas, public places with high humidity, gyms, swimming pools. If you can not stop visiting, then you should at least follow the simple rules: do not walk barefoot, wear personal shoes, make sure that there are no small damaged skin on your legs. These are the simplest conditions that must be observed before curing the fungus between the toes.

Recovery after a preventive course can occur for a month or more, when the fungus begins to disappear between the toes. The way to treat it in the future depends primarily on the conditions of the patient's stay. If the above rules are followed after the incubation period, the disease finally goes away. And if you ignore them, she can return.

The appearance of cracks on the skin of the legs, burning, followed by the appearance of blisters, are the main signs that you have a fungus between your toes. Treatment is made on the basis of medical examination. You will be given a sick leave sheet. At home, you need to wear shoes as rarely as possible, because wet processes (sweating, etc.) with worn shoes will help the development and complication of the disease. Also important is the use of ointments and compresses, such as solutions of Burov or powder "Domeboro." Before applying the compress, moisten the gauze, folded in several layers, with the above solutions and apply to the affected skin for 20 minutes.

For a complete cure it is necessary to create unfavorable conditions that eliminate the fungus between the toes. Treatment is most easily done with salt foot baths. In addition, in any pharmacy are sold special ointments based on gum, tonaphthate and miconazole. Ointments are applied to the damaged areas and rubbed into the skin. They are used until the complete elimination of the infection and for another two weeks after recovery for prevention.

Dry the skin of dead areas with a 25% solution of aluminum chloride, which helps in the destruction of spores. Dry skin residues must be removed to ensure that spores that survive even after the necrosis of the skin do not infect healthy skin. Of the folk remedies for the treatment of fungus, baking soda is also used. The method is similar to saline baths, but here you do not need to keep your feet in the basin. They should simply be washed with a solution of soda and warm water, then after a while wash off the remaining soda and wipe dry.

As already mentioned, the skin that has worked out its term (dead) must be eliminated to remove the contagious spores located on it. This is very effective due to a special brush. Just do not forget to rinse it after each use to eliminate the recurrence of the disease.
