How do you eliminate feet odour?

Question

Feet odour is caused by excessive sweating of the feet. Warm, moist conditions, like when wearing shoes, causes bacteria to form, thus causing the odour. So how do stop the sweating? and how do you stop the bacteria? Tried many. Any good solutions???

Answer 1

Keeping feet dry and change socks and shoes often. I have heard that using deodorant like you would spray under your arms. Helps with odor.By spraying onto your feet after a shower.Odor comes from sweat and sweaty feet cause odor. Also Try using odor balls that you put in your shoes. You can find them at a sports store that supplies sport shoes.

Answer 2

There is a prescription anti perspirant called Drysol. It is an excellent medication and made for parts of the body that are excessively sweaty. It is used once a day for about a week and then you start to taper it back to every other day or every 2 days until your only using it as needed which could be only once a week. Ask your Dr. about this. There is also a new over the counter gel callled 'Dri Off Gel' that is supposed to work pretty good although it has to be used on a daily basis. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

make sure you wash your feet in the morning and when you get home from work or school. Try alternating between different pairs of shoes often. In the summer wear sandals or something open as much as you can. Baking soda is a real good odor absorber. put it in the shoes when you are'nt wearing them and dump it out before you put them on. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Try to wash them thoroughly well, dry to the extent then apply septic powder for a week and try to wear open shoes and see what happens. When that fails I dont know how old you are, but that might be a serious sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirally twisted bacterium Treponema pallidum that affects many body organs and parts, including the genitals, brain, skin, and nervous tissue. Last resort is to visit a specialist for feet.

Answer 5

keep the feet very clean. put baking soda, oder eaters, or oder preventer in shoes every time you take them off--especially at night. if it is extremely bad see a dr. otherwise, clean feet, change shoes often, change socks a few times a day, keep shoes from getting wet, wear shoes that are well ventelated. happy feet!!
