There are two types of fungi, and their causes are very similar to those caused by the same virus. Let us learn more about their treatment and prevention.
Foot fungus
Foot fungus is the most common fungal infection, accounting for about 15% of the world's population.
Generally, men are more susceptible to this infection, and as they age, the likelihood of developing the fungus only increases.
The good news is that you can get rid of foot fungus with proper and timely treatment. It must start immediately after the first symptoms of the fungus appear.
If your foot fungus starts to cause severe discomfort and pain, you should see a doctor.
How foot fungus develops
The name foot fungus or mycosis comes from the most comfortable environment for fungal bacteria (that is, in a warm and humid environment, such as in sports shoes of athletes).
However, any shoes that sweat too much and the skin cannot breathe can cause the growth of fungus.
What are the symptoms of infection transmission
The most common symptoms of foot fungus include itching, swelling, redness and peeling skin. Most commonly, foot fungus appears between the toes. Fortunately, the fungus only affects the outer layer of the skin.
How the infection spreads
Foot fungus spreads easily and quickly. Infection in the affected cells can maintain a survival period of up to two years.
The easiest way to get infected is in a humid and warm environment.
Swimming pools, changing rooms and showers are examples of such places. Therefore, it is very important to wear changeable shoes instead of barefoot in such public places.
Diabetics are also easy targets for foot fungus.
How to prevent foot fungus
Wash your feet regularly with warm water and soap, and make sure to dry your feet thoroughly and remove moisture from your skin, especially the area between your toes. Also, please try not to use other people's towels.
Special foot powder can absorb excess moisture in leather and shoes. Try to keep feet, socks and shoes clean.
Wear open shoes made of breathable materials as much as possible, because the skin pores on the legs of adults produce a lot of sweat every day, which is equivalent to the amount of sweat from eggs.
When choosing socks and shoes, please choose natural fabrics. Change socks and shoes every day so that they can completely dry out.
If you find that a particular match causes you to encounter fungus over and over again, would it be easier to throw it away? Even if these are your favorite shoes, they are too much trouble for you.
Which treatment to choose

Fungal nail infections spread slowly, so you may not even notice the symptoms at first. Usually, this disease is not painful and you can cope with it easily at home.
It is important to know
