The warm days have finally arrived, we dress easily! It is also time to take off the annoying closed heavy shoes and put on open shoes. Sometimes you cannot do this, because the legs do not look very good: it can be various redness, peeling or corns, sometimes accompanied by itching, burning and an unpleasant odor emanating from the legs. Fungal infections can be the cause. What is the cause of the disease?

Causes of the appearance of mycosis of the feet
It is generally believed that if a person observes the rules of foot hygiene at all times, then the fungus does not threaten them. But this does not take into account many reasons, sources of infection. This can be a swimming pool, public shower, sauna or steam bath. What can be done to avoid getting infected? At a minimum, use only your slippers, bathrobe, towel, etc.
The cause may be increased sweating of the skin of the feet. A moist environment is an excellent soil for the appearance and life of fungi. Therefore, it is imperative to combat the sweating of the feet.
The reason can be, oddly enough, uncomfortable shoes. As a result of wearing such shoes, calluses and corns appear, which are an excellent environment for fungi.
Even congenital or acquired deformities of the feet can provoke the development of mycosis.

How to diagnose and treat a foot fungus
Trying to diagnose foot diseases on your own can lead to error. Outwardly, diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and mycosis are similar. Therefore, for any deviations from the norm, it is best to consult a specialist. An accurate diagnosis will be established after analyzing the particles of the skin. Next, a drug will be prescribed for external use, respectively, to the pathogen. In the absence of effect after the use of external agents, drugs of the antifungal group for internal use are prescribed.
There are other treatments that, unfortunately, do not guarantee complete elimination of the fungus and require a long treatment period. These are such folk methods:
Apple cider vinegar is used to eliminate redness and itching. Make baths.
Tea tree oil is an excellent natural antiseptic for fighting fungus. Dilute in half with any base oil before use.
The well-known cinnamon is also a natural antibiotic. The infusion is used.
Aloe, an excellent moisturizing and wound-healing natural remedy, will also come in handy. Apply the pulp to damaged areas.
These methods are applicable only in the untreated stage of the disease. Delaying treatment, you run the risk that the fungus from the outside will move to the internal organs, and this is fraught with serious consequences.
