Foot care

Symptoms: Dry, rough skin areas, sometimes with slight scaling

Cause: Lack of sebaceous glands in the foot area, excessive cleaning.

Product recommendation(s): DERMASENCE Mycolex care foam – microfine foam that smoothes dry skin with urea, glycerin and allantoin.

Symptoms: Heavy perspiration in the foot area, often accompanied by unpleasant odors depending on the cleaning frequency and footwear.

Cause: Hyperfunction of the sweat glands

Product recommendation(s): DERMASENCE Cream deo – mild antiperspirant in cream form, which also counteracts perspiration odor.
DERMASENCE Adtop Wash and shower lotion – soap-free washing syndet for daily cleaning.

Symptoms: Extremely dry, rough, hardened skin areas

Cause: Protective function of the skin due to too much pressure or friction, in which the horny layer (stratum corneum) thickens.

Product recommendation(s): DERMASENCE Mycolex Cracked skin cream – the special care with the high content of urea frees from strong cornification and smoothes the skin.

Symptoms: Narrow, cleft-shaped cracks in particularly dry, keratinized skin (especially on the heels), often accompanied by pain

Cause: Pressure or friction, injury (for example, from aggressive corneal removal), lack of essential nutrients.

Product recommendation(s): DERMASENCE Mycolex Cracked skin cream - the special care frees with the high proportion of urea from strong cornifications and smoothes the skin.

Symptoms: Hyperkeratosis, cracking, dryness, rhagades, poorly healing wounds, painless pressure ulcers

Cause: Diabetes-related functional restrictions of the nerves and disturbed blood flow

Therapy: If diabetic foot syndrome is suspected, a medical examination is absolutely recommended. The therapy always focuses on the diabetes itself. Depending on the severity, podiatric treatments, medication or surgery may be considered.

Product recommendation(s): We recommend the following products as a preventive measure and to accompany therapy:
DERMASENCE Mycolex care foam – the light foam strengthens the skin barrier and the resistance of stressed feet.
DERMASENCE Adtop Care cream – the cream provides intensive moisture and protects the skin from mechanical friction with a breathable film.

Symptoms: Itching in the spaces between the toes (especially between the smaller toes), in advanced stages also redness, scaling, small pustules and blisters as well as fine skin cracks

Cause: Fungal infestation mostly by filamentous fungi, more rarely also yeast, shoot or mould fungi

Therapy: If athlete's foot is suspected, a medical examination is definitely recommended. Depending on the severity, creams, powders, sprays or medication (tablets) can be used.

Product recommendation(s): For the prevention of athlete's foot we recommend DERMASENCE Mycolex care foam. The light foam strengthens the resistance of feet that are sensitive to fungus.

Symptoms: Brittle nails, splitting off of individual nail layers, white to yellow-brown discolouration, thickening. Depending on the type of fungus, the symptoms start either at the free edge or at the nail wall.

Cause: Fungal infestation mostly by filamentous fungi, more rarely also yeast or mould fungi. It is often preceded by a fungal foot disease that spreads to the toenail.

Therapy: If nail fungus is suspected, a medical examination is definitely recommended. Depending on the severity, creams, nail polishes or medications (tablets) can be used.
