Q. I have tried a number of remedies for the odor of my feet. They aren't itchy or scaly, just stinky and sweaty, even though I wear sandals.
Nothing seems to help.
You're not alone. You may have bromhidrosis, a usually inherited condition responsible for excessive and smelly perspiration from feet. This problem may be influenced by metabolism, especially if your diet includes a lot of animal foods. Drinking coffee or other forms of caffeine can intensify matters. Another school of thought holds that there's no such thing as foot odor, only shoe odor.
