Home cures for smelly feet
Smelly feet are sometimes the result of a recurrent fungal infection in the feet which is not visible to the naked eye. If you say you have tried everything, then it would be better to show your daughter's feet to a dermatologist who could determine or eliminate this problem for you. There are some simple home remedies you can follow to keep the smell in check, nevertheless.
You can make a foot soak of used tea bags and warm water. She can keep her feet submerged in this for about 20 minutes every morning and evening. The tannin present in tea should help in getting rid of the stubborn smell.
Alternately, you can also make a soak of organic vinegar and try the same method. If both of these do not work, try Epsom salts. A good therapy is to use foot powder. It is preferable to try one that has a corn starch base rather than a talc base. This will help in getting rid of the sweaty deposits in and around the toes and take away the stink. Another remedy to check the smell is to dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and scrub it all over the feet. Alcohol is strongly astringent in nature and can help checking the dampness, which is where the problem usually stems from.
