smelly feet

[Rip09]

Can anyone tell me what the condition is for my feet because they constantly smell bad especially after I wear shoes. they also sweat a lot which im sure is part of the reason that they smell so bad and they also really itch. Red marks start to show up on my feet and It really itches. I think this might be athletes foot but im sure its much more than that because of the smell. if I am wearing my shoes for too long, and it doesn't have to be for long maybe an hour tops, my feet really start to burn. I wash my feet daily with soap in the shower but that still doesn't help. Any idea on how to fix this?

sweat attracts fungus: which causes smells and athlete's feet.
spray your feet with antiperspirants and powder your shoes.  wear socks and change them often.  if you still have a problem, get a prescription called Drysol.  apply nightly b/f bed..this tends to dry out your feet.

I too sweat a lot from my feet.
When I asked my foot doctor about this he asked if I drink a lot of coffee and I do. He said excessive coffee drinking can cause the sweating.
Sounds weird but I thought id share!
