Foot odor is usually caused by excessive secretion of sweat, local bacterial or fungal infection and other factors.
1. Excessive secretion of sweat: sweat is an odorless secretion, and excessive sweat will make the skin surface of the normal flora imbalance, bacteria reproduction will decompose sweat, produce unsaturated fatty acids and ammonia, so that the skin has a special odor. And feet are sweaty parts, so people who have excessive sweat secretion and wear breathable shoes and socks are very prone to foot odor.
2. Bacterial or fungal infection of the feet: microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi are easy to reproduce and thrive in a warm and humid environment. If the feet are in a moist, sweaty, hot and humid environment for a long time, and do not pay attention to foot hygiene, it is very conducive to bacterial or fungal growth, thus aggravating foot odor. In addition, serious fungal infections in the feet can cause foot odor, and such patients are also prone to foot odor.
Patients should wash their feet regularly, dry their shoes and socks regularly, wear breathable shoes and socks, and try to avoid sweaty conditions such as strenuous exercise and nervousness.
Patients are advised to go to a regular medical institution and under the guidance of a doctor to undergo a relevant examination to identify the cause of the disease and receive treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
