Remedy for foot odour please.?
Question:
Answers:
These are all home based remedies:
Apply the area with tea: Using a soak made from tea bags and applying it to the feet will eliminate the problem of smelly feet. This is because the tannic acid from the tea tans the skin. Take a couple of tea bags and boil them in the pint of water for 15 minutes. Then remove the tea bags and pour the pint of this strong, hot tea into the basin or a large pot and fill it with two quarts of cool water. Soak your feet for 30 minutes daily for seven or ten days and you will not experience the problem any longer.
Use acne remover: If the feet really stink very badly, you suffer from toxic sock syndrome. In this case, you should look at your soles. If they are whitish in colour with tiny pits, you are suffering from the condition called pitted keratolysis. The microorganism that causes this condition is the same one that causes acne, you can use over-the-counter acne medication with 10 percent benzoyl peroxide.
Go for an antiperspirant: There are special foot deodorants to remedy the problem but they can be quite expensive. But you go in for any underarm antiperspirant, which is a cheaper alternative. Go for a roll-on that has aluminum chloride hexahydrate as the active ingredient. Use it twice a day. But avoid aerosols since all their smell is dissipated in the air.

Wash you feet and put socks on and get rid of those shoes that make you feet stink. Some of the glues used cause this.

It also stops your feet from really sweating.My husband sprays it on every morning . So no more smelly sock or odor.
I heard that soaking in alcohol helps - but also dries out your skin.
