foot odor health

Hi, I am a 28 year old woman, that have always had foot odor problems but lately as I get older my foot odor has gotten stronger and unbearable; not to mention embarrasing. I've tried clean socks, alternating shoes, powder, foot eaters, washing feet and between toes with anti-bacterial soap and none of it works and I'm so tired of having to hide my shoes in my own home. I'm afraid that other people will notice, sometimes I can smell my feet through my shoes.

my husband is 72 with copd and he has for the past couple of years had a bad odor about him and the room where he stays a lot has that same smell.

ve been having a clear discharge for the last 2 months, I have to wear a pad everyday.. However, currently I am giving off an odor. I bath and clean everyday, but the odor is still there, a metallic or fishy odor. I've had a pap smear 2 weeks ago and everything is normal. No STD's either. I stopped having sexual intercourse 1 year ago. I don't know what is going on, the smell is embarrasing.

If the discharge is clear or white and has no odor, than it is completely normal. Vagina's are sefl-cleaning, so the discharge is just an excretion from your body. If it has an odor to it(fishy smell) or is of another color, than make a doctors appointment..

I am actually trying to respond to the existing forum on this subject, because I seem to have tripped over a solution to this problem that's working for me. For the past year I have been suffering severe hot flashes, night sweats, etc. I cannot take hormone treatments due to fibroid cysts in my breasts. A few months ago I noticed a strange, acrid odor coming from my skin. It's not like underarm odor or foot odor, and it's not terribly strong, but it's terribly annoying to me.

I havent had foot odor but my body odor has increased w this pregnancy especially if i eat certain foods it literally emites from my pores! I completely have to avoid onion because it even my vaginal discharge would have an onion smell! My doc said its just another lovely pregnancy thing im sure thats what is happening in your case.. Mix that w increase sense of smell and its juuuust great lol!

My husband has horrendous foot odor. Room clearing, rotten cheese smelling odor. It has gotten worse over the years. He uses a foot cream half the time and it works but then he has to take a couple weeks off because his feet get dry and cracked. He uses clean cotton socks, washes and dries his feet daily, wears well ventilated shoes when he can, etc. Should he see a doctor? Is there a possible underlying and treatable condition?

Hello, These symptoms are suggestive of bacterial vaginosis. It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. It is caused by a change in the type of bacteria found in the vagina and causes a fishy odor which is sickening. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge.

I have dead skin in my vagina from stitches from 2 births, could that cause an odor? The skin is almost black, its not itchy or irritated at all. I'm a very clean person so I know that's not the issue.

I have this VAGINAL ODOR when im having sex but sometimes when im finish i dont have the odor nomore. but u can still smell it alittle. i was wondering why do i have the odor it's like a fishy mess and other times it's a different smell. ive been to the doctor and all my tests came back normal so i wanna know why am i still having this odor during sex. i douche and when i take a shower i wash really really good down there so what's the problem.

I was wondering, about the "BV" My husband and I are very sexually active (with one another) Sperm has always iriitated me. So most of the time, when it comes time for him to ejaculate, he pulls out. We dont like doing this but we do because, most of the time when he does go inside me it ends up irritating me and sometimes causes an odor. But if he doesnt go inside me, it's not a problem. Does this make any sense? Please help us understand this!

It would be probably a good idea to ask dr, it may very well just be your body chemistry changed, kind of like some people have foot odor and some dont, I really didnt mean to imply your not healthy by thinking it may be an infection and i deffinatley did not mean a std, just possibly thought a standard bacterial infection. Your Dr could check for that by a cbc test.

Hi, I have had issues with feminine odor for several years and it has gotten really awful. I am 20 and of a healthy weight(159lb, 5 foot 4). I have noticed that if I don't go out there doesn't seem to be an odor, but if I go to school or work it's really bad. The best that I could describe the smell is sour milk and B.O. If I sit down for more than 20 minutes or so that is when the smell gets really bad. I sweat underneath my thighs all the way up to my vaginal area.

Through the day I smell an odor that is like a bad foot smell, I started having this about 3 months ago. The only thing I can think of is my C-PAP, but I cleaned it regularly and I don't know why the smell would stay with me. It does not effect other scents and NO IT's NOT MY FEET. Anyone have a similar problem??

I have suffered for the last 10 years from a sweaty sock body odor. Everywhere I go people make comments about a foot odor. My feet don't smell. I have had all kinds of bloodwork, been to lots of doctors, and nothing seems to connect. I scrub with antibacterial soap, I have used foot odor products, I eat healthy and etc. The only think I can link it to maybe is Bacterial vaginosis and UTI's. Being on an antibiotic or a fungal (diflucan, ketoconazole) does not help. Can anyone relate?

No no no. ..it's not an std...I have the same problem. ..but only if I'm not having sex regularly ...it's like my body berry's use to his seman or something after a while. .. and it's really strange cuz it's worse with guys who are not white, I am, and even worse wroth black guys. ..I know I'm not the only one who experiences this. .I've talked to many women about it. But I'm only one who's noticed the race part.

hi i have a really bad odor on my groin area, however i cant really smell it until i touch the area, moreover i sometimes itch near the anus area, scrotum, groin or sweat, can anyone help me out??

Urine can become very concentrated and take on an odor if you are not drinking enough water. This could also be a sign that you have a urinary tract infection. You can be tested for this at your doctors office or you can purchase test strips at your local drug store. They usually have them at the pharmacy and no prescrition is required. If you do have a urinary tract infection, your doctor will prescribe a 3 day course of antibiotics.

So 3 years ago I suddenly started having foot odor, it became really pungent, up to a point that there's no cure and even when I go to sleep the next day my bedroom smells of my this horrible odor. It's a non traditional foot smell. Like chemical, sharp smell just makes breathing hard for the people around me and myself included . It's really bad!!! (for the non believers I don't have ORS nor do I have something stuck in my nose that might be source of bad smell..

Ok I have had a problem with my feet since middle school, it smells horrible and i dont know what to do ive tried powders,sprays, foot soaks, nothing works.. its driving me crazy, i get picked on at school and it makes me miserable.. please help.. any advice?
