As a physiotherapist with a medical background, I have good knowledge about skin diseases and body care. Therefore, even with the first symptoms of foot disease, I started prevention: I washed my feet three times a day, treated my shoes and changed my foot cosmetics. When that didn't help, I went to a dermatologist and he confirmed that I had a fungal infection.
The dermatologist said that the use of antifungals can be started immediately at the first suspicion, as they are used not only for treatment but also for prevention. Fortunately, I was attentive to my health and did not have time to start the situation. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you take a course of prophylaxis with a cream, as soon as you find any of the symptoms. I successfully got rid of all manifestations of mycosis within four months.
My job involves a lot of time on my feet, as well as daily shoe changes at the clinic, so I now use cream at work to prevent re-infection. In the future, on the recommendation of a doctor and comments on the forum, I will start using the cream only in the gym and in the pool, as well as in certain situations.
Before ordering Fungent, I tried two drugstore creams, giving each one a week to test for effectiveness. One caused severe dryness of the feet and aggravated desquamation, and the other had no effect on symptoms within a week.
I chose Fungent after consulting a dermatologist, as its composition meets all clinical recommendations, and the doctors' experience of using it is very good.
Before using it, I read a review of studies and also asked friends and colleagues. Everyone noted that the cream must be used regularly, otherwise the fungus will develop faster than you can fight it.
In the end, I decided to stick to a strict scheme and not deviate too much from it.
I already had improvements somewhere on the third day, by the end of the month the smell was gone even after my feet were sweating. All symptoms disappeared after two months. The nails recovered by the end of the third month and I used Fungent for another month to correct the results. Now I use the cream only for prevention and keep my legs well-groomed.
