Methods for the treatment of athlete’s foot.
The main problem of athlete’s foot . but like many other skin and fungal diseases . is the fact that it is difficult to detect at an early stage, in other words, there are no acute inflammatory processes, which greatly complicates its detection.
That indicates again how important it is to monitor changes in your body and timely treatment to doctors, at the slightest symptoms or suspicion(this applies to ANY disease, not just the athlete ).
There is a special doctor – mycologist (dermatologist), who directly deals with the disease of mycosis fungoides .
Of course, that an unambiguous method of treatment of mycosis does not exist, because the methods of treatment depend on many factors, such as:
1) Period of the disease.
2) the Type of fungus of athlete’s foot.
3) the development of the disease.
4) the Degree distribution of Contracting a fungal infection.
5) Allergic to the medications.

And many other factors.
