There are several characteristics that can be attributed to athlete’s foot, those include: a foul smell, burning, itching, discharge, red feet, peeling skin, sores on the feet and ulceration. However, it is best to visit a dermatologist who will diagnose athlete’s foot based on a mycological examination of the affected skin. There are several types of mycosis: interdigital, sweat, exfoliating and nail. Mycosis of the feet requires specialist treatment. See your doctor for a diagnosis and treatment plan, as an infection can persist for many years if left untreated. The most effective therapy consists in cleaning the affected area, using oral medications (usually antibiotics) and external treatment.

First of all, properly selected footwear and breathable socks. A balanced diet, limiting the consumption of salt and alcohol and regular exercise are also key. People who spend most of the day in a sitting position often complain about swelling legs. For them this may mean a change of life style. The cause of swelling of the legs and feet may also be related to cardiovascular diseases. Swelling of the lower limbs may also indicate diseases of the urinary system. Therefore, in such a case, you should contact a doctor who will make a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medications.

How to properly care for the skin of the feet?
During your daily care routine, don’t forget about your feet. The feet are exposed to minor injuries or drying out every day. How can you take care of your feet to keep the skin of your feet healthy and beautiful?
Cracked heels, dead skin or dry & rough skin on the feet – are all problems which can be eliminated thanks to proper, daily foot and nail care. The entire weight of our body rests on our feet, so it’s worth paying some attention to them and taking care of them regularly.
How to take care of your feet?
Foot care is not an easy task, because the skin of the feet, rubbed and pressed by tight shoes, often becomes dry and irritated. To have beautiful, healthy feet, remember to regularly use foot skin care products and treatments. It is recommended to have a foot bath in a cosmetic salt solution once a week. After the foot bath, remember to do a foot scrub. Once the salt has dissolved the remains of keratinized skin, you can gently remove the dead skin with a mild pumice stone, grater, or PHARM FOOT exfoliating products for home use, or visit a specialist. Don’t forget about the use of foot creams every day.

Foot care – step by step
We divided the PHARM FOOT foot care products into stages of treatments: PREP, CARE and TREATMENT. The first stage is to prepare the skin on the feet and heels for the treatment. Disinfection, softening and refreshing are the base without which further care will not be as effective. Beauty treatments on the feet should always start with thorough disinfection, followed by a foot bath and softening the callous epidermis. The second stage, i.e. PREP – is the time to select products for skin problems. Moisturizing, softening, nutrition or antifungal therapy? The next stage is TREATMENT, i.e. the proper treatment.
