Foot and nail fungus: definition and treatment Let's start by defining foot fungus: it results from the proliferation of microscopic fungi, often favored by heat and humidity. Some fungi are caused by dermatophytes, fungi that are not normally present on the skin and settle on the feet and nails through contact. Others are caused by yeasts naturally present on the human body. They take advantage of a favorable environment (sweating, micro-lesions on the foot, etc.) to proliferate. In cases of immune deficiency or during pregnancy, the risk also increases. What is the best product to treat foot fungus? The main symptoms of foot fungus are the appearance of redness and itching. Several effective treatments exist to get rid of it: - A foot powder: when the fungus affects a damp area, the powder dries the area by absorbing the moisture from the feet; - An antifungal spray: under the soles of the feet or between the toes (hard-to-reach areas), spray solutions are the easiest to apply. Sprays dedicated to socks and shoes help prevent recurrences of foot fungus; - An antifungal foot bath: repeat the operation morning and evening with red betadine for effective results. Protection products are also essential to prevent the proliferation of the disease. Good hygiene is necessary to ensure that fungi do not develop on other parts of the body or on the specialist themselves. How to get rid of a fungus on the nail? Other symptoms of a toenail fungus are its thickening and color change. It is recommended to use: - An econazole-type cream: when the fungus affects a toenail, applying a cream for the treatment of nail fungus is recommended. - Nail polishes: antifungal nail polishes also give good results for the treatment of toenails. How long does the treatment last in case of foot fungus? The treatment following the appearance of foot fungus lasts between 10 days and 3 weeks and must in any case continue until the total disappearance of symptoms and lesions. If the local treatment is not enough, a doctor may prescribe oral treatment.
