How can I avoid getting bad smell from foot?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 30 years old. I am so hearted psychologically because of the bad, difficult odor from my foot. When I wear shoes, my feet immediately feel warm and release a bad odor in just a few minutes. The worst thing is that it also has a smell without shoes whether I washed it or not. This made me stay far from my friends, co-workers, family, and from my society. I tried some medication from nearby health centers such as Flucanozole, Decozol, Aquax, and so on still using but no change. I lived with a problem for more than 10 years. Please, could you suggest me something? Why does my foot smell bad with no shoes and even affect my neighbors?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, this condition is called bromhidrosis, the abnormal odor is due to local bacteria. Follow this prescription. Maintain hygiene of the area and wash it with mild soap and water. Use Silver Zeolite powder on your feet after drying of feet. Try to avoid closed shoes or conditions of humidity. Use a local antiseptic solution like Povidone Iodine at one time daily to kill the bacteria (it can make your skin dry, so use Vaseline (Petroleum jelly) if it gets dry. Avoid garlic from your diet.

Thank you.
