Why do I only smell my feet but not my hands?

Why do my feet smell but not my hands? I immediately thought it was because my feet were wrapped in shoes and my hands were exposed.

Whether it is a man or a woman, once you have foot odor, you just need to take off your shoes, which will make it more embarrassing in the house. It will not only affect the quality of indoor air, but also affect the environment of others. Therefore, many patients with foot odor are very distressed. So why do they have foot odor?

1. Because there are too many sweat glands in the feet. There are about 620 sweat glands per square centimeter in the soles of the feet, while other parts of the body have only 143 to 339 sweat glands in the same area. Therefore, if you walk a lot, a large amount of sweat will be discharged from your feet, and because you wear shoes, it will not evaporate easily, causing foot odor.

2. Foot odor caused by foot diseases. Skin diseases such as tinea pedis between the toes of the feet.

3. Or some people do not pay attention to the cleanliness of their feet. The temperature and sweat of the foot skin form humidity and dandruff, causing the growth and reproduction of microorganisms (especially anaerobic bacteria) on the surface of the foot skin. And the suitable conditions for putrefaction, coupled with the decomposition of organic matter such as uric acid and lactic acid in sweat, result in a foul odor. If you don't pay attention to the cleanliness of your feet, it will contribute to the odor.

4. After the skin is damaged, the defense function of the skin will be affected, making it easier for pathogenic fungi to invade and settle, causing foot odor.

You can use the following methods to get rid of foot odor:

1. Wash your feet frequently

2. Use talcum powder on your feet

3. Use antiperspirant

4. Change socks frequently

5. Wear ventilated shoes

6. When washing feet, add rice vinegar 10% to the water to 15 ml. After mixing thoroughly, soak your feet for about 15 minutes, once a day, and soak for three to four days. The foot odor will disappear.

Foot odor must be eliminated to prevent embarrassment. For example, if a man goes to his mother's house as a guest, enters the house, puts on slippers, and the smell of his feet spreads, then your mother-in-law will probably not let you come.
