How to treat foot fungus at home?Folk remedies.As soon as a fungal infection passes from a carrier to a healthy person, it immediately begins to develop intensively.People with impaired metabolism, low immunity and increased sweating are especially vulnerable.In this regard, as soon as the infection enters the body, it is urgent to start fighting it.Its slightest manifestation requires immediate treatment.The best solution is traditional medicine.A set of actions, medicinal and folk, is even better, since the effect will be achieved faster: the healing process will accelerate several times.
First of all, it is necessary to diagnose the disease.It is best to contact a specialist for this.If necessary, a diagnosis will be prescribed, which will be carried out by a mycologist.To prevent the fungus from becoming chronic and haunting you for many years, you need to determine its type as quickly as possible and start treatment.Remember: the treatment you have started does not need to be interrupted, even if it seems to you that everything is in perfect condition and the disease has subsided.Infectious cells can remain dormant and even mutate, moving into the chronic stage of the disease.
You can diagnose foot fungus yourself.The main thing is to know its first manifestations.After all, like any other disease, it also shows its first signs.
Signs of illness
Pay attention to the skin on your feet.Particularly carefully examine the surface of the skin located near the nail.Also examine the nail itself.It often happens that the fungus affects not only the skin of the feet, but also the nails.
The initial phase does not show any signs, in the second it is clear that the skin began to peel off, acquired an unnatural color and the nail plate faded, became yellowish and even delamination of the nail plate appeared.The skin on my legs has become rougher in places.The same picture is observed with the nails.
First recipe - soap and soda procedures
These are nothing more than soap and soda baths that you can prepare yourself at home.Thanks to the soap and soda solution, the skin pores and nail plate will be cleaned.
Doing this procedure at home is quite simple.To do this, you will need a clean bath, hot and cold boiled water and soda.The solution is prepared as follows.Take a small container, pour 1000 grams of soda into it and pour boiling water over it.After that, the resulting solution must be thoroughly stirred.This should be done until the added soda is completely dissolved in water.After that, the soda solution should be set aside in order to prepare the soap shavings.Regular laundry soap is best suited for this.Soap shavings consumption is based on one bar of soap per five liters of water.
Usually, a bath requires at least three to four liters of water.As a result, the amount of soda increases as many times as water is consumed.Then the soap shavings are poured into a bath of soda solution and stirred until the soap is completely melted.
When preparing the bath, the water cools naturally.In this case, you need to take another container into which to pour exactly half of the finished composition and put it on fire.Since the water has already been boiled, there is no need to bring it to a boil, but simply reheat it carefully.You need to dip your feet in the second half of the water and add the hot mixture while the soap and soda solution cools.
The second recipe is based on iodine and propolis
Iodine treatment is best carried out after consulting a doctor.The main thing is that you do not have a predisposition to an allergic reaction to iodine.
The recipe for preparing an iodine solution is very simple.Iodine is a product that can always be purchased at the pharmacy and is usually always found in your medicine cabinet.Iodine can therefore be considered as a kind of ambulance at the first manifestation of fungus on the legs.Just before starting treatment, pay attention to the composition of the iodine you have.This should only be a 5% solution.It is better not to use others when treating a fungus yourself.Iodine should be used to treat affected areas of the legs once a day for two weeks.If necessary, the procedure can be extended for up to a month and repeated after a few weeks.
The second, no less effective remedy is propolis.This is known to be a beekeeping product.So, those who are not allergic to it can try this method without fear.This antifungal recipe requires a little preparation.The first step is to prepare an alcoholic tincture from propolis.To do this, take 100 grams of propolis, place it in a glass container and pour 500 g of 40-proof vodka.The dye must sit for at least 10 days.And only after that it can be used as one of the most effective means in the fight against fungus.The resulting alcohol solution should be used to treat affected areas of the skin three times a day.Due to the unique property of propolis and its combination with alcohol, this type of fungal treatment procedure in traditional medicine is recognized as the most effective.Thanks to this tincture, you can get rid of the disease in just 10 days.Infectious fungal cells die, the affected areas quickly heal, and a new healthy cell grows in place of the nail plate.
Third recipe - birch tar and potassium permanganate
Tar successfully fights the appearance of the disease.Just before using it, you need to do all the preparation, make a soapy foot bath at home:
- you need to immerse your feet in a warm soapy solution for 30-40 minutes;
- after a soap bath, nails should be cut, heels should be thoroughly washed with pumice, special attention should be paid to the areas of skin between the toes;
- after that, you need to carefully dry your feet with a prepared clean towel;
- after that, all affected areas are carefully lubricated with tar and wrapped in polyethylene, warm socks are put on;the legs should remain in this state for at least 1.5-2 hours;
- after two hours, the tarry substance should be washed off with laundry soap and warm water.
The usual and well-known potassium permanganate will help you cure and forget forever what foot fungus is.Potassium permanganate, due to its unique properties, allows you to very quickly achieve the desired result and get rid of a disease such as foot fungus forever.In addition, you can perform the procedure yourself without leaving your home.For this, all you need is a bath, potassium permanganate and regular table vinegar.A solution of potassium permanganate is prepared at the rate of three liters of boiled and slightly cooled clean water, a liter of vinegar and a dessert spoon of dry potassium permanganate powder.Remember that potassium permanganate can cause burns on the skin.First, one leg is lowered into the resulting composition, then the second, that is, in such a way that each of the legs remains in the solution for at least 15 minutes.After that, each foot should be carefully blotted with a clean towel and it is advisable to put on socks in which you will have to lie down.
This type of intervention should be carried out strictly at night, once a day for a week.
It is better to prevent the onset of the disease than to treat nail fungus at home.To do this, it is important to wash your feet every day and dry them, especially between the toes.Try to wear breathable shoes.
Because in non-breathable shoes, an infection appears first and begins to multiply very quickly.After 7 days, there will be no trace of the fungal attack left on the legs.
