Smelly feet, peeling: & fungus. You probably need an anti-fungal and need to see your doc for and exam. Peeling MAY be because oil in your body is too low. Good oils such as coconut and olive oil in your diet may help. Change socks once or twice daily. Put feet in direct sunlight when possible. Peace and good health.

Water Water every...: Smelly feet are usually associated with hyperhydrosis or sweaty feet. Bacteria live and die in the wet world of your feet. Typically by simply using a drying agent to cut down on the perspiration, practicing good hygiene and airing out your shoes, the problem will stop. This is a long term treatment and if stopped the smell will return. To remove all doubt consult with a specialist.
