The fungus of nails and skin on the legs is a very popular phenomenon in modern society. The negative main feature is the fact that this disease is subject to frequent relapses. Medicines against these subspecies of fungal diseases are widespread on the pharmaceutical market, but a responsible approach to recovery is one of the main factors for the fight against the disease.

Symptoms of nail fungus
Despite the fact that this type of fungal diseases are most often referred to as mushrooms by nails on the legs, it must be taken into account that not only nail plates, but also surrounding skin suffer from harmful fungal spores. The main features of the mushroom on the legs are:
- Reddening in the interdigital zone, the gradual appearance of the peeling;
- The appearance of itching, initially barely noticeable, but that becomes stronger when the disease is progressive;
- Sometimes bubbles occur with liquid on the skin;
- In the later stages - the appearance of painful cracks;
- Nail formation. Depending on the type of mushroom, it can have a different nature. So distinguish:
- Hypertrophic type of deformation. An increase in the thickness of the nail, but at the same time an increase in the fragility of the plate. The nail hurts and crumbles with physical exposure.
- Normoprophic type of deformation. The thickness of the nail does not change, but it captures a pronounced shiny color, horizontal yellow stripes also occur.
- Atrophic type of deformation. The nail plate becomes thin and dull. Colors and strips of a white shadow appear on the nail, they grow and merge in the future.
Diagnosis of mycosis of the legs at home
