Stinky feet. My husband has really bad smelly feet but its not his shoes. Its his sweaty feet. Is there something he can soak his feet in or something we can buy for this. Someone please help me in this area. Its about to make me sick.
Answer:
the first thing is to get to a foot doctor.and he can exam his feet .but swetty feet can be cause by a health problem also.
vodka works (seriously - saw it on Mythbusters); some sprays are effective, and doctors can give scrips too
I'll second the Vodka answer. I too saw that on Mythbusters.
take him to a podiatrist and have him checked out..there could be an endocrine imbalance or any numer of things like a fungus under his toenails...get him checked out...
Seriously buy a stick of deodorant and take a black marker and mark feet on it...when he gets up every morning after his shower tell him to add putting deodorant on his feet as part of his routine...it will keep them from sweating and smelling...
Him scrubbing his feet with a good antibacterial soap and exfoliating them, then drying thoroughly after showering/bathing. Then use some Gold Bond foot powder and/or Gold Bond Foot lotion should help out. They also sell foot sprays.
Get him another pair of shoes to change off and sweat absorbing socks (100 % cotton). Spray his feet and shoes with Lysol spray every night and good luck! (Could also use a foot powder inside his socks...) Feet sweat less with leather shoes.
Well I'm sure his shoes stink too if his feet are that bad. You can try odor eaters for his shoes and they have spray odor eaters you can spray right on your feet. The smell is probably caused from his diet. Check with a doctor or nutritionost about changing his diet.
Excessive sweating at palm, sole and face is known as hyperhidrosis.Most over-the-counter antiperspirants are not strong enough to effectively prevent hyperhidrosis
To treat the disorder, doctors usually prescribe 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution (Drysol), which the patient applies at night to the affected areas that are then wrapped in a plastic film until morning. Drysol works by blocking the sweat pores. Formaldehyde- and glutaraldehyde-based solutions can also be prescribed; however, formaldehyde may trigger an allergic reaction and glutaraldehyde can stain the skin (for this reason it is primarily applied to the soles). Anticholinergic drugs may also be given. These drugs include such medications as propantheline, oxybutynin, and benztropine.
Injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) given under the skin work well for some patients. Botox works to stop the excessive sweating by preventing the transmission of nerve impulses to the sweat glands. These injections must be repeated every 4-12 months, however.
The only permanent cure for hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles is a surgical procedure known as a sympathectomy. To treat severe excessive sweating, a surgeon can remove a portion of the nerve near the top of the spine that controls palm sweat. However, not very many neurosurgeons in the United States will perform the procedure, because it often results in compensatory sweating in other regions of the body. Alternatively, it is possible to surgically remove the sweat gland-bearing skin of the armpits, but this is a major procedure that may require skin grafts.
