What to do if a boy has smelly feet

Many men actually have smelly feet, especially in summer, but if the smell is strong, it can easily cause disgust. The symptom of smelly feet is closely related to personal hygiene or sweat secretion. When you encounter smelly feet, the best way is to wash your feet frequently and change clothes frequently. If the foot odor is caused by beriberi, it is best to take medication to eliminate the foot odor.

Foot odor is caused by the fact that the soles of the feet have many sweat glands and are prone to sweating. In addition to water and salt, sweat also contains lactic acid and urea. Under the condition of excessive sweating, the bacteria on the feet multiply and decompose keratin, which, together with the urea and lactic acid in the sweat, will produce a bad smell. If the shoes are not breathable and the air is not circulating, the odor will become stronger and stronger, and the odor will be very strong.

Cause

1. Excessive sweating of the feet. This is more common in teenagers. It may be due to unstable autonomic nervous function, such as emotional tension causing excessive excitement of the sympathetic nerves, or exercise, which can cause excessive sweating of the feet.

2. Certain diseases of the feet, such as skin diseases such as ringworm between the toes.

3. Often wear rubber shoes, nylon socks and other shoes and socks with poor breathability.

4. Or some people do not pay attention to the hygiene of their feet. The temperature of the foot skin and sweat form humidity and dandruff, which constitute the suitable conditions for the growth, reproduction and decay of microorganisms (especially anaerobic bacteria) on the surface of the foot skin. In addition, the decomposition of organic matter such as uric acid and lactic acid in sweat results in a foul odor. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of your feet, it will contribute to the odor.

5. Excessive sweating

Excessive sweating of the feet and poor evaporation of sweat can cause the epidermis to become white and stained, especially between the toes. Severe excessive sweating can cause blisters, erosions or excessive keratinization, which can easily lead to fungal infections and cause foot odor.

Use professional deodorizing drugs and sanitary products, and use antibacterial drugs (such as alcohol with a concentration of more than 70%) to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the feet, thereby achieving the purpose of deodorization. People with smelly feet can easily buy them by themselves, and the method of use is simple. Just apply it on the soles of the feet or the base of the toes after washing and drying the feet. Once used, the effect can last for 7-14 days, and the symptoms can be gradually alleviated.

Notes

Foot odor is caused by the excessive secretion of the body's small sweat glands, which produce foul odors when decomposed by bacteria and mold. Sweating makes it easier for bacteria to reproduce, so foot odor is often associated with hyperhidrosis.

(1) Pay attention to cleanliness, keep your skin dry, keep your feet clean, wash them several times a day, and change socks frequently.

(2) It is not advisable to wear non-breathable shoes such as sports shoes and hiking shoes on a regular basis, as this can cause excessive foot sweating and worsen foot odor.

(3) Actively eliminate the triggering factors, such as sweaty feet and tinea pedis.

(4) Avoid eating foods that can easily induce sweating, such as chili peppers, raw onions, and raw garlic.

(5) Keep your mood calm. Excitement can easily induce excessive sweating and worsen foot odor.
