Foot odour

What is Foot Odour?
Foot Odour (Bromodosis) is a common condition when your feet are excessively smelly all the time – all year. The foot odour can occur even though you may not have been walking or doing exercise. Foot odour can occur in anyone.

Causes of Foot Odour
There are many potential causes for foot odour. These can vary depending on the shoes – synthetic materials, tightness or wearing them daily without letting them dry; to your lifestyle – changes in hormones, stress or medical conditions such as hyperidrosis, foot ulcers or bacterial infections.

Treatments for Foot Odour
To treat dry feet, ensure you have a good foot care routine. Wash your feet daily with soapy water and dry your feet thoroughly afterwards. Change your socks daily and look for bamboo or silver socks with antibacterial properties. Same for your shoes, ensure you wear a different pair every day, letting your shoes have 24 hours to dry out before wearing them again.
