Foot Odor Prevention and Treatment

DOES YOUR SKATING STINK OR IS IT YOUR FEET?
by Kathie Fry
When you come home from skating does your family make you take off your skates in the back yard? Will they do ANYTHING to keep you from doing it in the car? If you are like most people, your feet do not smell their best after a hard workout (my feet, of course, smell lovely all the time).

This can be an embarrassing problem, but it is completely normal and natural for perspiration, dead skin cells, and bacteria to cause some degree of foot odor. In most cases odor problems are preventable, and when they are not preventable they are almost always treatable.

Try These Things First
Foot odor is usually caused by bacteria, and the only way to really get rid of it, is to get rid of the bacteria. An even better strategy is to prevent the bacteria from growing in the first place. Products like charcoal-impregnated insoles are not really that helpful, because they do not get rid of the source of the problem. Here are some things that will help:

• Wash your feet thoroughly every day, with a good antibacterial soap. Scrub them hard with a wash cloth or body brush to remove all of the dead skin cells. Take extra care to scrub the area between your toes.
  
  
• Dry your feet immediately after bathing, especially between your toes. Some people use a hair dryer to make sure their feet are completely dry.
  
  
• Change your socks frequently, especially when you are exercising.
  
  
• Whenever possible, do not wear the same shoes two days in a row. Try to let your shoes dry out 1 or 2 days between wearings. (it would be best to do this for skates too, but not many people can afford to buy 3 pairs of good skates!)
  
  
• Sprinkle talcum powder or one of the commercial foot powders (which sometimes ARE talcum powder) into the toes of your socks to help keep your feet dry and discourage the growth of bacteria. Some people like to use baking soda, but others say it feels gritty against their skin.
  
  
• If you believe your feet perspire excessively, you can rub an underarm antiperspirant into your feet to help them stay dry. If it contains Aluminum Chlorohydrate it will be even more effective, but wash it off right away if it starts to irritate your feet.
  
  
• If none of these things work, you can try applying a 5% or 10% solution of Benzoyl Peroxide gel to your feet, to decrease bacteria growth.

More Ideas

• Soak your feet every day, in a solution of black tea and cool water. Some people believe the tannin in the tea has a deodorizing effect, and they believe it makes the sweat glands shut down temporarily.
  HOW TO DO IT: Brew 2 tea bags in 2 cups (1 pint) of boiling water for 15 minutes. Add the tea to 2 quarts of cool water, and soak your feet for 20 to 30 minutes. To convert these measurement units to metric units, see Converters for International Skaters.
  
  
• Some people take zinc supplements to prevent foot odor, because they believe foot odor can be a sign of zinc deficiency. Get your doctor's opinion before you try this, and ask for a dosage recommendation, so you don't take a toxic amount. 그랜즈레미디에 있는 화학품인거 같아요. 발냄새가 아연 결핍때문일 경우 섭취하거나 바르면 줄여준다는 이론인듯. 다른 곳에서도 봤거든요..근데 적정량을 지켜야 한다네요. 해로울수 있으므로.
  
  
• Some people drink diluted liquid chlorophyll to prevent foot odor, because chlorophyll deodorizes other parts of the body, inside and out. Check with your doctor before trying this, because chlorophyll can have side effects. 물로된 엽록소(?)를 마시면 몸냄새를 줄여준다는 이론도 있다는 군요..

Treatment for Severe Problems

If you have a very serious sweating problem (called hyperhydrosis) or a very serious foot odor problem (called bromohydrosis) your doctor may suggest that you try one of these treatments: 만약에 너무너무 심한 냄새와 땀이 날경우~

Aluminum Chloride with Ethyl Alcohol 염화알루미늄
This medication is more commonly known by the brand name Drysol? It is very effective, but it can cause skin irritation. Most doctors will tell you to apply it at night and wash it off completely the following morning. 님들이 많이쓰시는 드리클로 같은 염화알루미늄 제품들..

Prescription Antibiotics 항생제
If you have a very difficult foot odor problem, your doctor may want to prescribe an antibiotic like 2% Erythromycin or 1% Clindamycin, applied each morning and at at bedtime. These medications will be effective in killing most odor-causing bacteria. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Using antibiotics should be avoided whenever possible. Frequent use can make them ineffective, because the bacteria will develop a resistance to that particular antibiotic).

항생제로 된 연고같아요. 아침 저녁으로 바르면 박테리아를 죽여준다네요. 근데 자주 이용하면 박테리아가 저항력이 생겨서 효과가 떨어진다는 군요.

Gluataraldehyde 비인화성액체
This is the main ingredient in many sun-free tanning products. It will stain your feet brown, but it can be effective in reducing excessive perspiration, when applied to the bottom of the feet in a 2% to 10% solution.
태닝하는 물품에 들어있는 성분이고, 발을 갈색으로 만들어주지만 발바닥에 바르면 땀을 줄여줄수 있다네요..

Acetic Acid Foot Baths 아세트산으로 발 목욕
Acetic acid foot baths can be effective in drying up sweat glands, if treatments are given 3 times per day.

식초 종류 같아요. 하루에 3번하면 땀샘을 줄여주는듯...

Electrode Therapy 이온영동법 
This treatment is called iontophoresis. The feet are immersed in a pan of water and 15 or 20 mA of electric current is applied. Iontophoresis is not a cure for excessive sweating, but it usually provides temporary relief, if applied frequently. It works by "injecting" electronically charged ions into the skin, causing the sweat glands to shut down temporarily.

Summary
The vast majority of foot perspiration and odor problems can be effectively treated with simple home remedies. I organized this article with the most effective and safest home treatments first, and the most drastic and radical treatments at the end. If you have a problem with excessive foot odor, you can be sure that relief IS available. Try some of these suggestions, and work with your doctor, to find the solution that works best for you!
