Causes of Foot Odour

When you wear shoes and socks daily, the confinement provides the perfect environment for fungi and bacteria to thrive. And if you have excessively sweaty feet naturally, live in a hot climate, or exercise a lot and don’t change your socks frequently – this can lead to bad foot odour. The bacteria that grow on your feet is the culprit which emits the characteristic locker room stench associated with foot odour.

Causes of Athlete’s Foot

The fungus thrives in warm, moist areas. Your risk of getting athlete's foot increases if you:

·Wear closed shoes every day.

·Keep your feet wet for long periods of time.

·Sweat a lot.

·Wear dirty or damp socks.

·Share shoes or socks with others.

·Go barefoot in public showers (at the gym) or at public swimming pools.

The most common symptoms include peeling, flaking, and cracked skin between the toes or on the side of the foot that is extremely itchy.

Benefits of Foot Powder

The good news is the foot powders are fast-acting and can eliminate foot odour and athlete’s foot within just a few applications. The best foot powders to look for at your local pharmacy should contain miconazole and clotrimazole to treat fungal skin infections as well as tapioca starch, zinc oxide, and bisabolol for the prevention of foot odour and sweaty feet.

One of the leading products is Gehwol Med Foot Powder 100G, it treats foot problems quickly. You can also use it regularly to prevent sweating and thereby prevent bad foot odour and athlete’s foot from developing.
