Dear Patient,
Sweaty feet (plantar hyperhidrosis) is a common condition caused by overactive sweat glands. While usually harmless, it can lead to discomfort, odor, or fungal infections if not managed properly.
Key Recommendations:
1. Footwear & Socks:
- Wear breathable shoes (leather/mesh) and moisture-wicking cotton socks.
- Avoid synthetic materials that trap sweat.
2. Topical Treatments:
- Apply antiperspirant sprays or powders (e.g., Losweat, Drysol) at night.
- Use antifungal powder (e.g., Candid) if prone to infections.
3. Home Care:
- Wash feet daily with antimicrobial soap and dry thoroughly.
- Soak in black tea or diluted apple cider vinegar (natural astringents).
4. Avoid:
- Tight shoes or wearing the same footwear daily.
- Harsh chemicals like formalin unless prescribed.
When to Seek Help:
- If sweating is excessive, disrupts daily life, or causes skin breakdown.
- If you notice redness, peeling, or foul odor (signs of infection).
For persistent cases, treatments like iontophoresis or Botox injections may be considered.

For sweaty feet relief, try home remedies like talcum powder on your feet, soaking your feet in tea tree oil or vinegar, and wearing breathable shoes and socks to help keep your feet dry and odor-free.
