MD Podiatrist Discusses Bromhidrosis

Dan Michaels, DPM shares, “Smelly feet are something that nobody likes to deal with. They can be caused by bacteria and/or fungus that grow on our feet. Sometimes, smelly feet can occur due to over sweating or hyperhidrosis. Excessive sweating can cause a perfect environment for fungus and bacteria to live and thrive.”
 
“In life, prevention is key to a lot of physiological issues that can be avoided,” says Dr. Michaels. “Smelly feet are just one. If you are concerned about your feet, or just want to get ahead of the problem, there are many over-the-counter products one can buy designed to absorb moisture and odor both while wearing shoes and while they are in your closet. Insoles, odor and moisture absorbing wicks, balls, and more can be found in drugstores and markets.”
