Fungal diseases today are quite common. Foot mycoses are especially common. They arise due to the fact that a fungus begins to develop on the skin of the legs.

Any wound on the skin can contribute to the development of the disease.
It should be noted that the skin is most often affected in those people who have weakened immunity. Fungal diseases can have different manifestations.
