Moderate At the first sign of peeling feet, you should consult a dermatologist immediately. These are the first signs of fungus. Further development of the bacteria occurs on the fingers, between the fingers and on the nails. Symptoms include redness of the skin, small cracks on the heels and feet, and itching and burning in larger lesions. Squamous hyperkeratosis The squamous hyperkeratosis stage of the disease is caused by mild swelling of the skin on the feet, which can also cause severe peeling of the skin on the feet and between the toes. Severe itching and burning sensation spread to the entire area of the foot, including the nails. The color of the nail plate changes from light yellow to gray, which causes the top layer of the nail plate itself to be destroyed. Symptoms of the hyperkeratosis stage of the fungus include the following: A rash on the skin of the feet, with red to blue blisters that then flake off severely and cause pain when walking. If you don't consult your doctor, infections can cooperate and become a serious source of infection. The entire process is accompanied by a bad smell coming from the feet. IntermittentThis stage is characterized by the development of deep cracks in the heel, accompanied by pain, and the development of erosive ulcers. The pain worsened significantly, causing the patient to be unable to stand normally. Sweating disorderThis stage is characterized by the rapid development of small purulent blisters, covering the entire area of the foot and toes in just a few days. Pustules can open on their own, causing red erosions. The wound may release a small amount of fluid after the skin dries slightly.
