Sweaty Feet? Get Some Relief!

feet0415.jpg

Believe it or not your feet have more sweat glands than any other part of your body. To keep them dry - start with good hygiene. Keep your toenails clipped and wash your feet every day with lukewarm soapy water, making sure you clean between your toes.

Choose breathable materials like cotton for socks and change them in the middle of the day. Avoid synthetic materials even for your shoes. Foot powder can also help. So can antiperspirant (not deodorant). Just roll some on every day just like you would your underarms. If those things don't help your doctor or podiatrist can prescribe some stronger medication and offer nerve blocking treatments to stop the sweating.
