A member asked:

Why do my feet sweat excessively and why do i get strange sensation on the bottom of my foot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mark Reed answered

Sweaty Feet: The bottom of the foot has special exocrine sweat glands that produce an oil-like sweat and it is normal to experience heavy swearing and varies for each person. If you are having nerve issues on the bottom of the feet, you need to have a vascular evaluation by a foot specialist. Best Regards: Dr. Reed
