Symptoms of a fungus on the legs

For starters, let's understand what a fungus is.It is a conditionally pathogenic microorganism that can even live on the skin of healthy people in a small amount, but under favorable conditions it begins to actively multiply. The signs of the fungus of the legs are directly related to the type of infection and the degree of participation in the process of skin and stratum plates.So, with foot damage, mushrooms called Trichophyton Red, there are the following signs of the disease:

1. The first symptoms of the fungus are usually seen between the fingers.In addition, in the beginning, the infection affects the denser folds between the 3rd and 4th finger.Then the disease goes to the sole, the posterior and lateral surfaces of the legs.In addition, fungi can spread to the nails and palms;
2. In the future, the signs of the fungi are complemented by dryness and thickening of the skin.The fungus of the skin of the feet contributes to the formation of characteristic channels on it.When the disease progresses, the seals of the layer layer appear on the feet, painful sensations appear;

3. The fungus on the skin of the feet is manifested by a characteristic plate or bow of the skin;
