foot odor

When you take your shoes off are you asked to please put your shoes back on? In all seriousness, offensive foot odors can be a real problem. It is common to ignore the condition or accept it as something that you just have to live with.

Foot odor is usually from excessive perspiration. For most people the hands are feet are frequent sites of pooling with resultant wet areas and occasional skin discoloration. Ladies should limit wearing nylon stockings and socks that promote perspiration. At Advanced Foot Care Clinic we offer socks that have bamboo fibers in them to wick away the moisture from the feet. And since it is bamboo the socks are "natural" or "green". Do not wear the same pair of shos every day. Wear breathable leather shoes as opposed to occlusive synthetic shoe materials.

What could be causing the odor could be a dietary factor. You should try limiting garlic, onions, and other higher spiced foods to see if that is what is causing the odor. Keep in mind that offensive foot odor is a treatable condition and once the causative factor is identified one that can usually be remedied.
