    Question

    I have a problem with smelly feet, what can I do?

    Answer

    Feet can stink, especially if you are sweating, or have a fungal infection. The best ways to avoid stinky feet and shoes are to:

    * Clean your feet daily with soap and water.

    * Let your shoes dry out between wears.

    * Apply some cornstarch or powder to your feet, or in your shoes/LI>

    * Wear sandals to keep your feet dry.

    If you are worried that your feet smell more than they should, see your doctor.
