Almost every man faces the problem of bad foot odor. Of course, they themselves can tolerate it, but for colleagues, and for their wives, this causes discomfort. Why do feet stink and what to do about it?
First of all, it's worth finding out why feet sometimes emit a disgusting smell. The fact is that the feet do hard work every day, supporting the human body. From a lot of stress, the legs begin to sweat, especially if a person is wearing socks and shoes. Darkness, heat and sweat are an excellent environment for the vital activity of microorganisms, which cause an unpleasant odor. Therefore, if your feet stink badly, you need to get rid of sweating, and not eliminate the smell.
Bad hygiene
The first reason for the smell is a violation of the rules of hygiene. At any time of the year, and especially in summer, it is necessary to carry out water foot procedures every day, in the morning and before going to bed. It is absolutely impossible to go to bed with dirty feet, this will further aggravate the situation. You should also wash your socks and shoes regularly. Dirty socks and shoes accumulate microbes, which, the next time they are worn, will begin to affect the person's feet again.
Ingrown toenail
Ingrown nails lead to damagecirculation in the feet. If your feet stink, then you need to carefully examine your fingers. Having an ingrown toenail sometimes requires the help of a surgeon. To prevent this, get regular pedicures and wear loose-fitting shoes.
Substandard shoes and socks
Patent shoes absolutely do not allow the skin of the feet to breathe. Due to this, the legs are inside
such shoes sweat more. The same applies to synthetic socks. To eliminate excessive sweating of the feet, you need to purchase shoes made of genuine leather, and cotton socks. If your feet stink after that, then the problem may be related to diseases of the body.
Kidney problems
Violation of the functionality of the kidneys often leads to swelling and increased sweating in the legs. To determine if there are diseases of this kind, you need to look at your lower limbs. If puffiness or swelling appears in the evenings, you should consult a urologist.
Heart problems
A similar situation is observed in heart disease. Only the edema does not subside at the onset of the morning, as in kidney diseases, but is permanent. Feet stink in this case due to too active or, conversely, slow heart activity, due to which sweating increases.
Fungus
Many believe that fungus is the cause of foot odor. But it appears after the beginning of the active life of microorganisms. A man does not wash his feet, does not follow hygiene, walks for a long time in the same socks. Therebythe fungus begins to spread throughout the foot, causing even more severe and
bad smell.
To avoid stinky feet, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination for the presence of diseases. In cases where a man is he althy, he should buy special antiseptics that are effective in reducing sweating. But in no case should you apply them, and even more so various colognes, on your feet immediately before leaving the house. The effect will be the opposite - the feet will sweat even more, and the unpleasant smell will only increase.
