Fungal foot infection treatment?
Fungal foot infection is a common foot condition caused by various types of fungi. It is a type of foot complication that can affect the skin on the feet, toenails, or both.
Fungi
Fungal foot infections are caused by various types of fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. They can be spread through direct contact with infected skin or by walking barefoot in public areas such as locker rooms and swimming pools.
Sweaty Feet
Excessive sweating can create a warm, moist environment in which fungi can thrive. This is why fungal foot infections are more common in people who have sweaty feet.
Tight-Fitting Shoes
Wearing shoes that are too tight or don’t allow your feet to breathe can create a warm, moist environment that is ideal for fungi to grow.
Injury or Trauma
Injuries or trauma to the feet can create openings in the skin that allow fungi to enter and cause an infection.
Weakened Immune System
People with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes or HIV, are more susceptible to fungal foot infections.
Poor Hygiene
Poor foot hygiene, such as not washing your feet regularly or not changing your socks and shoes frequently, can increase your risk of developing a fungal foot infection.
