How can we prevent smelly feet?
Smelly feet can cannot only be an embarrassment but can
seriously damage the self esteem. There are many people,
especially guys, who have to deal with this problem every day,
and also are the victims of numerous medicines that didn't help.
To help them I wrote this article hopping to at least make them
understand what is causing this problem and how to prevent it.
So here it is.
Smelly feet, also known as "bromohydrosis", are the result of
the interaction between perspiration and the bacteria that lurk
in you shoes and socks. The foot and hands contain the most
sweat glands than any other part of the body ( about 3000 glands
per square inch). Inside the shoe the temperature reaches
sometimes 102 F. So this temperature combined with the moisture
generated by the sweat glands constitute the perfect environment
and a fertile breeding ground for the bacteria responsible for
your smelly feet.
The bacteria that are often found in foot odor are usually
corynebacterium and micrococcus species. They produce the
isovaleric acid which is main substance responsible for the
smelly feet. So, successful treatment of smelly feet depends on
eliminating the organisms.
Smelly feet can also be caused by an inherited condition called
hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which primarily affects
males. Stress, fluid intake and hormonal changes also can
increase the amount of perspiration your body produces.
The bacteria that are often found in foot odor are usually
corynebacterium and micrococcus species successful treatment of
smelly
feet depends on eliminating these organisms.
Preventing smelly feet.
Smelly feet generally can be controlled with a few preventive
measures. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society
recommends that you:
- maintain a good feet hygiene this way you keep the bacteria
population to a minimum level.
- Change your socks and shoes at least once per day.
- Bathe your feet daily in warm water the dry them well.
- Dust your feet frequently with a non medicated baby powder or
foot powder.
- Look for fungal infections between you toes and on the bottom
of your feet and if you spot redness and dry skin get treatment.
- Wear thick, soft socks made from cotton to absorb the
moisture away from the feet and under don't wear under any
circumstances nylon socks.
- Let your feet breath by wearing leather shoes and don't wear
the same pair of shoes two days in a row.( let your shoes to
wear out at least 24 hours)
You must remember that these measures are mostly preventive and
not curative and if you still have smelly feet after using these
prevention methods , it is time for you to visit a doctor and
get proper examination and a professional opinion.
