What's the matter with my feet smelling recently? What's causing it?

Some friends may find that they did not have foot odor before, but have recently developed it. This may be because their feet are infected with bacteria, or the climate temperature is high, causing more sweating in the feet. First, you can check the cause of the foot, and then clean the shoes.

Causes of foot odor

1. Excessive sweating of the feet.

It is more common in adolescents, and 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 tinea pedis between the toes.

3. Shoes and socks have poor air permeability, such as rubber shoes, nylon socks, leather shoes and other shoes and socks with poor air permeability.

4. Excessive sweating on the feet and poor evaporation of sweat cause the epidermis to become white-soaked, especially between the toes. Severe excessive sweating can cause blisters, erosion or excessive keratinization, which can easily lead to fungal infection and cause foot odor.

5. Damage: When the skin is damaged, it will affect the skin's defense function, making it easier for pathogenic fungi to invade and settle, causing foot odor.

6. Obesity: Obese people are more likely to sweat, and the moisture and soaking between the toes induce foot odor.

7. Or some people do not pay attention to the cleanliness of their feet. The temperature of the foot skin and sweat form humidity and dandruff, which constitute suitable conditions for the growth, reproduction and corruption 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 bad odor. If you don't pay attention to the cleanliness of your feet, it will only contribute to the odor.
