My feet always smell bad. Its really embarrassing. And they still smell bad after I've washed them. And also, they itch constantly in the same spots on the bottoms of my toes and heels no matter how many times I scrub those areas. I don't really have any peeling or anything like that. Any tips?

Washing (feet) with a cloth dipped in apple cider vinegar has helped me with the itching, etc... It sounds crazy, but I read it in a natural remedy book and it worked.

Any body odor - including feet - comes from the bacteria's that grow in warm, dark, moist environments. Your shoes are perfect incubators for such things. If you can loose the shoes for as long as possible and only wear them when absolutely necessary this would help. When you do wear shoes, rotate with different pairs to let them air out and kill any bacteria inside them. The following link is of people who almost never wear any shoes and there is medical findings as well as anicdotal testimony to be found through the links within, that have substanciated the ill-effects shoes have on our feet and legs. Bottom line, loose the shoes as often as you can.

Put a dryer sheet in your shoes over night. Rub your feet with Gold Bond powder (buy the Blue container) and sprinkle some in your shoes very day.

See if you can find some athlete's foot medicine or something like that. There's usually an aisle in stores like Target that has foot care. If that doesn't work...be proud...there's nothing sexier than smelly, itchy feet!
