Sweaty Feet

Sweaty feet is also known as Hyperhidrosis. This commonly occurs on the palms and soles of the feet. Some people may have more sweat glands than others. When your feet sweat, this is a breeding ground for fungus and warts to develop. Remember how we talked about that fungus and warts, love a warm moist environment? Hyperhidrosis can also lead to Bromohidrosis which is foot odor.

There are many different treatments that can help hyperhidrosis. One thing that we will typically recommend is to not wear 100% cotton socks. 100% cotton socks do not wick away moisture. So when your feet sweat in these cotton socks, the moisture will also stay with you all day. Socks with the synthetic material consisting of Lycra can help with this. It is also a good idea to constantly change your socks daily. We also have certain topical roll on anti-perspirants that one can roll onto their feet to help with the dryness. These products can be very effective and they range in different concentrations. There are also certain Talc's and lotions that we may dispense to help this out as well.
