I have very sweaty smelly feet all the time. What is good to prevent this?

@VictoryOrValhalla That's excellent advice! 👍Unfortunately, it sounds like she has plantar (foot) hyperhidrosis, so she will need much stronger treatment methods.

@diablo had one of those bad boys on my big toe... wasn’t fun

Sounds dangerous but just might work @SW-User

@Jenni7 You have plantar hyperhidrosis. Google that if you like and message me as I know waaaaay too much about excessive sweating. lol

@Jenni7 How did you fix the problem?

I used epsom salt to soak my feet, I used deodorant & I bought carpe lotion specifically to reduce sweat for feet @PhoenixPhail

@Jenni7 Sounds good. I've found sometimes particular materials shoes are made of can bring on odor. My feet don't smell, but there was one pair of shoes I bought years ago that made them smell terrible. But only with that one pair. It was weird.

I’ve tried it once and maybe it would work if I did it more but the vinegar smell is very strong I can’t atand it @MrGomco

@Jenni7 such excuse 🤦‍♂️

@whippersnapper I like socks with at least 75% cotton content. drmirkin.com suggests ensuring your socks get turned inside out before washing to wash away dead skin that may collect in teh sock and serve as food for bacteria and fungi. (The actual cause of odor)

Otherwise the antiperspirant is the other suggestion that made sense.

Finally, take off our shoes as much as you're able. Fungi and bacteria grow best in warm, moist, dark locations. Shoes give all three. Take the shoes off to dry the feet out.

Switch shoes. Avoid wearing the same pair multiple days.
Switch socks midday? The laundry may add up, but perhaps it's worth it.

Take a scrubber to the bottom of your feet to reduce flaking skin, the bacterial and fungal food supply.

I should’ve thought about that sooner lol @TheOneyouwerewarnedabout
