Your feet contain about 250,000 sweat glands and are capable of producing 250 milliliters (one cup) of sweat a day. The smell comes from bacteria on the skin that breaks down the sweat, excreting offensive-smelling waste.
Luckily, there are some simple home treatments that can help:
- The basic, washing feet daily and drying them thoroughly.
- Use odor-absorbing insoles to control smelly shoes
- Choosing socks – cotton or a mix of cotton and synthetic – that contain moisture escape panels.
For more persistent problems:
- Soak your feet once a day in water containing drying agents such as vinegar or salt.
- Spray feet with rubbing alcohol every morning.
- Use absorbent powder or cornstarch, in shoes.
Excessive sweating can be a major cause of embarrassment.
If you have this problem, don’t suffer in silence. And don’t let embarrassment keep you from living life to the fullest!
