FUSSPILZ Niemand redet gerne darüber, aber viele tragen ihn mit sich herum – der Fusspilz. Der Fusspilz ist die weitaus am meisten verbreitetste Pilzinfektion. Fusspilz ist ebenso hartnäckig wie unangenehm. Er schleicht sich klammheimlich zwischen die Zehen, unter die Nägel und macht sich an der Fusssohle breit. Fast ein Viertel der Bevölkerung der Schweiz leidet darunter. Der Fusspilz
