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 the disease
Pay attention to the skin on your feet.Especially 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 stage shows no signs, in the second it becomes clear that the skin began to peel off, acquired an unnatural color and the nail plate faded, turned yellow and even delamination of the nail plate appeared.The skin on my legs has become rougher in some places.The same image is observed with the nails.
Recipe one - soap and soda procedures
They 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.
Carrying out this procedure at home is very 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, put 1000 grams of soda in it and pour boiling water into it.After that, the resulting solution must be stirred well.This must be done until the added soda is completely dissolved in the water.After that, the soda solution must be set aside for preparing soap shavings.Ordinary laundry soap is best suited for this.Soap shavings consumption is based on one bar of soap for every five liters of water.
Typically a bath requires at least three to four liters of water.Consequently, the amount of soda increases as many times as water is consumed.Then the soap shavings are placed in a bath of soda solution and stirred until the soap melts completely.
While preparing the bath, the water cools naturally.In this case, you need to take another container in which to pour exactly half of the finished composition and put it on fire.Due to the fact that the water is already boiled, it does not need to be brought to a boil, but simply heated well.You should lower your feet into 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 done after consultation with a doctor.The main thing is that you are not predisposed 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 in the home medicine cabinet.Therefore, iodine can be considered 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.It should only be a 5% solution.It is best not to use others when treating fungus on your own.Iodine should be used to treat the affected areas on the legs once a day for two weeks.If necessary, the procedure can be extended 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.Therefore, anyone who is not allergic to them can try this method without fear.This fungus-killing recipe requires a little preparation.The first step is to prepare an alcoholic propolis tincture.To do this, you need to take 100 grams of propolis, place it in a glass container and pour 500 g of vodka 40. The tincture must stand for at least 10 days.And only after that it can be used as one of the most effective means in the fight against fungi.The resulting alcohol solution must be used to treat the 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 in folk medicine is recognized as the most effective.Thanks to this tincture, you can get rid of the disease in just 10 days.The infectious fungal cells die, the affected areas soon heal, and a new, healthy one grows in place of the nail plate.
Recipe three - birch tar and potassium permanganate
Tar successfully fights the onset of the disease.Just before using it, you need to do some preparation, make a foot bath with soap at home:

- after bathing in soap, the nails must be cut, the heels must be washed well with a pumice stone, special attention must be paid to the areas of skin between the toes;
