Feet mushrooms on the legs is the most common disease found in men and women. Detecting in the initial stages is quite difficult and problematic, since the mushroom slowly affects the nail, without giving us any symptoms. But first the disease is diagnosed, the easier it will be getting rid of it. And before talking about how to overcome this disorder, some words should be said about the primary symptoms of this disease and the methods of its independent diagnosis.
Symptoms
As already mentioned at the beginning, it is very difficult to recognize the nail fungus in the initial stages. The fact is that it is not practically managed. The only sign of damage to the nail plate with yeast -like mushrooms is the appearance of strips and spots on the nails. However, they are just evident and have the same color as a healthy nail.
As the mushroom multiplies, the spots and the stripes begin to expand and light up, while the nail itself does not change shape. But once again, this happens so slowly that a person does not even notice it. And when the mushroom grows strongly, the first main symptoms of the disease appear. This:
- itching and burning;
- Inspe with the nail;
- increase in the fragility of the nail plate;
- the presence of white plate on the nail itself and the soft tissues that surround it;
- The appearance of an unpleasant smell.
These are these symptoms that make a person's attention on the disease. But it already becomes too late. In this case, cure the mushroom is no longer an easy task. We have to make every effort to get rid once and for all.
Car -diagnosis
If you notice the symptoms described above, but doubt that in your case they are associated with a fungal disease, then you can lead autonomous diagnoses at home. To do this, you need a little peer at potassium and hot water. Prepare the solution from the potassium permanent and lowers the legs for a couple of minutes.
Then pull the legs out, dry and carefully examine the nails. In the absence of fungal damage, all nail plates should be brown. If some parts of the nails have not stained, then your fears were true: you have a mushroom.
You shouldn't hesitate with its treatment, as your health depends on this. Don't think that mushrooms only settle in the nails. No, they penetrate deep under the nail plate and through the skin they fall into the circulatory system. Subsequently, pathogenic mushrooms are transported throughout the body, having a negative effect on the entire body.

If, because of your work, you cannot go to the hospital, you can start home treatment (which is not extremely desirable). But in this situation, in no case can it be inactive. It will seriously influence your health.
