Bad feet, but I don't know why

summary

In clinical medicine, we generally believe that foot odor is a disease. The cause of foot odor is that there are many sweat glands in the center of the foot, so it is easy to sweat. It is generally believed that in addition to water and salt, the sweat also contains lactic acid and urea. In general, when we are sweating, the bacteria on our feet multiply and decompose keratin. In addition, the urea and lactic acid in our sweat will give off a bad smell. If the shoes are not breathable and the air is not circulating, the odor will accumulate more and more, and the odor is extremely strong, which is foot odor.

Bad feet, but I don't know why

First: in our life, there are many people who don't understand the problem of foot odor. People usually confuse beriberi with foot odor. In fact, they are different. Beriberi people generally have sweating, foot odor, foot itching and other symptoms. In severe patients, there will be skin loss, swelling and blisters, and even ulceration between the toes.

Second: in clinical medicine, we generally believe that it is foot odor caused by fungi, that is, commonly known as the foot fungus, which decomposes skin metabolites to produce an unpleasant odor. When people's activities increase, the weather is muggy, nervous, eat spicy hot food, sweat will be a lot of secretion.

Third: in addition, we believe that the cause of foot odor is caused by many factors. For example, humid environment, closed and muggy space, these will lead to the proliferation of bacteria and mold, the old cuticle on the foot is too thick, can also lead to foot odor.
