Sweaty feet: Odor from sweating peeling foot skin is either bacterial or combined bacterial and fungal infection. A culture needs to be done to determine type of infection, then treatment with topical, or if severe combined topical and oral medications. There are also strong topical antiperspirants to help control excessive sweating. Please see your dermatologist for help.

Keep feet dry : Keep feet dry and clean. Avoid wearing tight shoes for very long periods. When possible expose your feet to air . Use an antifungal powder. See your doctor as you may have secondary bacterial infection.
