How does foot fungus develop?
Even if a person washes their feet constantly and regularly, they cannot wash all the bacteria from them. They just get smaller, but they do not disappear at all. And they multiply very, very quickly, as soon as a person steps on the floor, puts on slippers, or - even more favorable to bacteria - shoes, boots or sneakers.
In a warm and humid environment, especially if your feet are sweating, the fungus is just stretching. If such an environment coincides with the inflammatory process in the body, poor resistance to infections or excessive sweating of the feet - write it all down. The mushrooms are there.

Along the border of the area where the fungus is located, a red inflamed band is clearly visible, behind which the skin is rough, dry and swaying.
If the fungus has not been treated for a long time, quite visible cracks appear on the skin behind the fungal area, which are extremely painful. If a bacterial infection is added to them, then severe leg pain appears, which puts a person in a hospital bed, as it is impossible to walk because of these pains.
