FEAT fungus is a general disease that belongs to the dermatomycosis group and is caused by activation of pathogenic microorganisms.
Mycoses pathogens live in plants and soils, the body, in the body of animals, and keep their lives, so they are infected with infected shoes or clothing, so absolutely everyone can be infected with fungal infection.
What is the foot mycosis?
Foot fungus is a disease caused by pathogenic microscopic fungi, which is the lesion of the skin of the interdigital gaps, further spread to the body in healthy areas of the body.
This pathology can manifest at any age, but especially often the disease is diagnosed with older people and people with weakened immunity.
The approx.50 mushroom species potential danger.Because of the favorable conditions, each of them is capable of parasitizing on the human body and provoking the formation of systemic and local fungal pathologies.
Important!
The fungal lesion of the legs changes in the skin structure and, in the absence of timely treatment, the discharge of the nail plate.
MKB Code 10
According to the ICD-10, Mikoz Stop has a code B35.3.
Types of fungal diseases on the skin
Depending on the pathogen, experts distinguish between foot mycosis many major types.Each breed has its own characteristicsAnd has many unpleasant symptoms.
Rubrofitius
The causal agent isTrichofita rubrum mushroom- The clinical picture of the pathology begins with the disease covering the legs and folds between the fingers, but during the process the body is infected with the spread of lymphohematogen with foreign protein structures.
The stop of Candidiasis
Evolves as a result of penetration into the human bodyThe Candida genus is a fungus- The stop candidiasis begins with lesion of interdigital spaces and nails.At the same time, the area of the nail cylinder will be hyperemic and edema, and the patient in the harmful zone and severe itching can be disturbed by pulsating pain.
Onchomycosis
Damage to nail plates caused by dermatophitas and fungikind of candidate or forms- Fungi are modest in existence and high life resistance, so with a advanced form, the disease is difficult to treat.
Intiginal (interdigital) form
The most typical form of micosis, determined by damage to the interdigital folds, without the appearance of the signs of the pathological process on its leg.With the development of the patient, cracks, peeling, erythians and maceration appear.In the future, any bacterial infection may be due to the disease.
Squamine -Hyperkerattic form
This is characterized by simultaneous damage to both legs.The disease involves severe peeling and keratinization of infected areas of the skin, as well as the occurrence of deep cracks in the affected areas.Itching is insignificant or missing.
Glory
Once the infection penetrates the body, many coarse -surface bubbles appear on the patient's skin, an increase in hyperemia and swelling, which makes the dyshydrotic form of the disease like eczema.After the rupture, bubbles form erosion zonesRise in the corner or foot.
Deleted form
Different mycosis has minimal clinical manifestations, unnoticed in the form of microcrackets in the skin of the skin and in the bowlous peeling.The patient does not experience discomfort, so the treatment of pathology is postponed for a long time.

The specialist will be able to identify the presence of the infection during the initial control, but the type of pathogen cannot be determined without further laboratory tests.
Determination of the type of fungus is done with the following:
- general and biochemical blood test;
- scraping from the affected area of the skin;
- coating of the collected material to the nutrient;
- skin biopsy;
- A special test to strengthen the presence of infection in the body.
Based on the results obtainedThe doctor diagnoses and prescribes treatmentIt is aimed at eliminating symptomatic manifestations of fungal infection and mycosis.
