Many male friends have foot odor, which can harm the image of men and be disliked by others. Although it is already autumn, there are still some men who are bothered by foot odor. What are some ways to eliminate foot odor? Let's take a look together.
What is the cause of foot odor
Some people have foot odor only when it's hot, but some people do it all year round.
Feet odor is not a disease, but it smells deadly. Feet odor brings great trouble to people. Why do you have foot odor? There are many reasons for foot odor, both internal and external. External causes are mainly caused by foot hygiene, such as airtight shoes, dirty shoes and socks causing foot odor, etc. The internal causes of foot odor are mainly caused by diseases. Generally speaking, there are two main causes of foot odor:
One is foot odor caused by beriberi. "Beriberi is caused by fungal infections and becomes foot odor. However, if people with foot odor do not pay attention to hygiene, fungi can easily breed in humid environments, leading to beriberi.". To treat foot odor caused by this reason, it is necessary to first treat beriberi.
Another reason for foot sweating is due to excessive sweating. In the event of poor ventilation, the foot becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, which can decompose the cuticle of the skin and release a peculiar smell. Foot hyperhidrosis is often accompanied by hyperhidrosis in the feet, which can lead to abnormal sweat secretion in the body due to stress and tension, leading to foot odor due to excessive sweat. Many people with hyperhidrosis are congenital, and even when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene, foot odor is still evident.
For foot odor caused by beriberi:
Beriberi is generally divided into three types of symptoms: erosive type, blister type, and keratotic type, but their common characteristics are itching and peeling. "Beriberi often occurs in warm and wet weather, and is highly infectious. After blisters appear on the feet, it is best not to scratch. After scratching, complications such as athlete's foot, erysipelas, and lymphangitis often occur due to infection, and prompt treatment is required.". There are many methods for treating beriberi, and the most direct and effective method is to choose appropriate beriberi drugs.
Finding out the cause of foot odor is not difficult to treat. "Beriberi is very easy to relapse. If the drug cannot penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, when the body's immune system decreases or encounters a hot and humid environment again, beriberi will reoccur, even more severe than the previous time.". Therefore, drugs with strong osmotic effects should be selected. However, if beriberi has caused complications such as erysipelas and lymphangitis, it is necessary to take antibiotics orally or go to a hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
