- Foot odor:<\/strong>\u00a0Foot odor can be caused by many reasons. It is caused when sweat mixes with bacteria on our skin. When people wear socks and shoes, sweat and bacteria join them, which is the reason for bad foot odor. People who sweat for the whole year face this problem the most. Other causes include stress, certain medications, fungal infections, alcohol and drugs. Women who face hormonal changes during puberty or menopause will likely get foot odor. One should maintain hygiene to avoid this problem. It can be prevented by using creams, disinfecting sprays, and socks made of breathable materials. If one\u00a0is not relieved, a doctor can prescribe surgery\u00a0to cut the nerve, causing sweating. One may use home remedies as well. Tea with tannic acid can be used to dry out feet. Soaking feet in tea for 25 minutes may work. One can also use bleach and sodium bicarbonate in warm water to dry out skin and feet. A solution of sodium bicarbonate prevents bacterial growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Toenail fungus:<\/strong>\u00a0Any body part can be affected by fungal infections. Fungi are present with bacteria, and when they grow, infection occurs. A fungal infection named Onychomycosis affects the nails. Fungi grow in moist environments, and the one already in the body causes nail infection. When we wear shoes and socks, the space given to fungi is big enough for its growth. Those with diabetes, who wear artificial nails, have\u00a0nail\u00a0injuries, or have weak immune systems are\u00a0most likely\u00a0to develop toenail infections. Nail fungus is quite difficult to\u00a0treat, but\u00a0certain ointments and lotions may provide relief. A doctor may also advise some oral antifungal medications like Terbinafine and Itraconazole. It is recommended for those who have diabetes or any other problems. An\u00a0antifungal\u00a0nail polish named\u00a0ciclopirox\u00a0can be applied to nails if one experiences mild to moderate nail fungus. Some topical medications may not cure nail\u00a0fungus, but\u00a0one can take them with oral medications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A doctor would file the nail surface to diminish the infected nail. When the nail infection becomes more severe and painful,\u00a0the doctor\u00a0recommends removing whole nails. The new nail will come\u00a0in\u00a0the same place slowly. Surgery and ciclopirox are sometimes performed to treat the nail bed. Another method is not widely known for treating nail fungus with laser or\u00a0photodynamic\u00a0therapy, in which intense light irradiates after treatment with acid. One may switch on to home remedies like vinegar and vicks-vaporub. Experts say that vinegar and\u00a0vicks\u00a0soak help reduce bacteria growth. One must consult a doctor before using any of the home remedies.
