BODY AND FOOT ODOR

Unbearable body odor, mainly from armpits and feet.it is characterized by perspiration and bad odor.

Causes
The occurance of perspiration with bacteria causes an odor, in addition to some secreted substances which come from food such as meat,garlic,fish, etc.


Treatment
Since aloe vera is one of the best known natural bactericides, it is recommended to shower daily using aloe vera liquid bath soap in addition to an aloe vera odorless deodorant.

If you don’t have a deodorant on hand, aloe vera extract may be temporally used.both kills the bacteria which produce unpleasant odor.
It is recommended to consume vegetables and fruits and less red meat.

• keep your nails clean, short and smooth
• try patting or tapping the itchy area, rather than scratching it
• wear cotton gloves at night to prevent damage from scratching in your sleep
• hold a cold compress, such as damp flannel, over the affected area to cool it down
• avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine, as these can affect the blood flow in your skin and make itching worse.

• use cool or lukewarm water, rather than hot water
• keep baths to less than 20 minutes
• try to reduce how often you have a bath or shower if possible
• avoid using perfumed soap, shower gel or deodorants – unperfumed substitutes are often available from pharmacists
• use unperfumed moisturising lotions and emollients after bathing or showering to help prevent your skin becoming too dry
• dab or pat your skin dry, rather than rubbing it

Clothing and fabrics

• avoid clothes that irritate your skin, such as wool and some man-made fabrics
• wear cotton or silk whenever possible
• avoid tight-fitting clothes
• use mild laundry detergent that is less likely to irritate your skin
• use cool, light, loose bedclothes

Medication

Some lotions, creams and medications available over the counter from pharmacies or on a prescription from your doctor can help reduce itchiness.
Common treatments recommended include:

• an oily moisturiser or emollient if your skin is dry or flaky
• creams containing menthol to cool your skin or anti-itch ingredients such as crotamiton
• mild steroid cream (usually for only a few days) for small, inflamed areas – hydrocortisone cream is available from pharmacies over the counter, or your GP can prescribe a steroid cream for you
• antihistamine tablets to help control allergic reactions – check with your pharmacist or GP before using these because they are not suitable for everyone
