What do you recommend if i have a problem with my feet. in fact, each time i wear thick socks my feet start to smell badly.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The thick socks are creating heat and excess perspiration which can lead to odor. Use a topical foot spray to help absorb the perspiration.
