Stinky Feet: The best remedy, after many years and trying almost everything, is "Milk of Magnesia", rub it on the soles of the feet every morning before putting on shoes. Only a small amount is needed.

Hello: I was wondering if anyone knew of a possible cure for pitted keratolysis.
http://dermnetnz.org/bacterial/pitted-keratolysis.html I have tried everything I can think of and not much even touches it. I think it is what is preventing a 20 year case of fasciitis from healing.

Hi! I'm surprised to find that the best remedy for stinky feet is not available on earth clinic!
Since childhood, I've been plagued by very stinky feet, and its been a subject of humiliation many times over. Although I didn't have the opportunity to try all the various solutions that people have recommended, I found one that just solved my problem without having to buy or prepare anything. I came across some sites that recommended urinating on your feet, as the bacteria in your urine counters with the bacteria on your feet (something like that, ) removing the smell pretty much permanantly!
I just simply peed on my feet while in the shower and let it sit for about a minute, while rubbing my feet against each other. No joke, after my shower, the smell was gone! Not just for a few hours, but for years! (PS: pee on them before you have your shower and before you run the water.)
There's no risk, no mess, and you don't have to buy anything. I just can't understand the people who get grossed out by this. Its natural remedy at its finest. If you'd never been plagued by stinky feet, I guess you wouldn't understand right? Good luck to all you guys who have this problem, and I hope it works for you!

I found the best cure for treating foot odor is to soak the feet in warm water and vinegar for 15 - 20 minutes. The vinegar helps to destroy the fungus causing the odor. I've tried it myself and it works! 2-3 soaks a week should help control the problem. Good luck.

Are any of these foot cleaning remedies bad for you? I heard it was bad to use baking soda and viniger. It throws off Your ph. Is that true?

I use a small quanity of bleach in my bath also. But, PLEASE DO NOT use bleach to soak your feet if you are a diabetic. My dad did this and it caused deep open wounds on the feet. Please, please, please not if you are diabetic!

I tried bleach and it didn't work for me. What does work for me is triple antibiotic cream bought at the drug store and benzoyl peroxide on top of that. I do it 2x a day.
