Why do my feet smell?

Feet sweat just like the rest of the body. However if that sweat collects, goes stale it can become a haven for fungal and bacterial infections. Add to this nylon tights and plastic shoes and all can contribute to olfactory assault!

Remedies: Good foot hygiene is the basis. Wash feet daily and dry well. Apply a moisturising cream daily, even for sweaty feet as this helps condition the skin on the foot. Use deodorant spray daily: e.g. Driclor antiperspirant roll-on.

If it persists do seek the advice of a podiatrist to treat potential fungal and bacterial problems.
