Fungus on legs can hit everyone who has legs.
Any neurological foot disease, defined as the neuropathy of the lower limbs, is associated with damage to the nerves that provide motor and sensory innervation of their muscles and skin.
A fairly common pathology, scientifically called plantar fasciitis, and among people known as heel spurs, can significantly spoil the lives of middle-aged and older people.
The appearance of a painful tubercle on the heel is caused by overproduction and accumulation in the subcutaneous bag of synovial fluid.
Spurs on the legs are not uncommon in modern medicine. It's not just callus or nattooptysis, as many patients believe, but a serious illness. There is inflammation in the area where the spur is localized.
According to the international classification of diseases ICD-10, elephantiasis of the legs are included in the category IX Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99)
It is known that when walking, men basically carry the main weight on the heel, that's why this part of the body suffers first of all. It is necessary to ensure reliable prevention and treatment of this problem.
