Does smelly feet really represent good health or bad health?

Foot odor has nothing to do with good health.

On the contrary, it should be noted that the culprit of foot odor is a fungus called Trichophyton albicans, which is also commonly known as beriberi. It decomposes skin metabolites and produces unpleasant odor, which will develop into serious beriberi after a long time.

People with beriberi will have symptoms such as sweating, smelly feet and itchy feet. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as peeling, redness, blisters, cracking and ulceration between the toes.
