Especially in summer, this phenomenon will be more serious, sometimes even if you don't take off your shoes, there is a sour smell in the air, and you feel very uncomfortable when you smell it. So do you know what to do about smelly feet?
There are many reasons for the formation of foot odor, such as not changing shoes and socks for a long time, not paying attention to foot hygiene and some diseases in the feet. When treating foot odor, we need to suit the medicine to the case according to our personal situation, and we can't be blind.
1. Keep your feet dry and clean
There are some sweat glands distributed on people's feet. People with developed sweat glands will have more sweat. In this way, they ferment in a humid and warm environment for the combination of dead skin on their feet, some dead cells and some bacteria in the air.
Under normal circumstances, foot odor mostly occurs in people with large foot sweat. Therefore, it is very important to keep feet dry and clean if you want to stay away from foot odor. Often wearing breathable shoes, changing shoes and socks in time, using foot antiperspirant and sprinkling some talcum powder on your feet can effectively reduce foot odor.
2. Potassium permanganate aqueous solution soaking feet
Foot odor is often accompanied by bacterial infection and foot inflammation. A certain concentration of potassium permanganate aqueous solution has good bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, soaking feet with potassium permanganate aqueous solution can effectively alleviate inflammation and play a role in treating foot odor. However, when using this method to soak your feet, you must control the concentration of the aqueous solution. If the concentration is too low, it will not play the role of sterilization and disinfection. If the concentration is too high, it may cause some damage to the foot skin.
3. Do a good job in deodorizing shoes
No matter how clean the feet are, but if the shoes are smelly, the feet are also washed in vain, so it is necessary to do a good job of deodorizing shoes. After taking off the shoes at night, put some desiccant or deodorant inside the shoes, then put them in a well-ventilated place, and the shoes will have no smell the next morning.
If you can't find a suitable deodorant, you can use pomelo peel instead. Pomelo peel has good deodorization and odor absorption effects. Cutting pomelo peel into appropriate size and putting it in shoes is simple and convenient, and the deodorization effect is also very good.
Keeping feet dry and clean, soaking feet with potassium permanganate aqueous solution and doing a good job of shoes deodorization can effectively relieve the symptoms of foot odor. Friends with smelly feet should learn quickly. But it should be noted that the treatment of foot odor is a long-term process, do not only adhere to a few days to see no effect to give up, adhere to a period of time to see significant improvement.
