by Kathie Fry If you have a very serious sweating problem (called hyperhydrosis) or a very serious foot odor problem (called bromohydrosis) your doctor may suggest that you try one of these treatments: Aluminum Chloride with Ethyl Alcohol This medication is more commonly known by the brand name Drysol®. It is very effective, but it can cause skin irritation. Most doctors will tell you to apply it at night and wash it off completely the following morning. Prescription Antibiotics If you have a very difficult foot odor problem, your doctor may want to prescribe an antibiotic like 2% Erythromycin or 1% Clindamycin, applied each morning and at at bedtime. These medications will be effective in killing most odor-causing bacteria. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Using antibiotics should be avoided whenever possible. Frequent use can make them ineffective, because the bacteria will develop a resistance to that particular antibiotic). Gluataraldehyde This is the main ingredient in many sun-free tanning produ...

By Dr Pranjal Shamsher Foot catches the attention first. Feet are the most active part of our body, even more than our hands. Attention to foot education and care is especially important as people age. The foot is a complex area consisting of twenty-six bones, thirty-three joints, and several ligaments, muscles, veins, arteries, and nerves. As a primary weight-bearing structure the foot is subject to more deforming forces than any other part of the body. It is estimated that the average person takes eight thousand to ten thousand steps a day and covers about 115,000 miles in an average lifetime. The aging process affects all areas of the foot. In fact, most of the time they are definitely overworked which leads to many ailments and sometimes infection. A little pampering on regular basis and proper medication in the conditions like fungal infection, cracked heels, corns certainly does wonder to one’s feet. Causes Bacteria or Fungi on the foot, caused due to the wrong choice of footwear...

by Michael Kanellos Researchers believe nanotechnology could someday help build tiny supercomputers or solve many of the world's energy problems. More immediately, a company in Pennsylvania hopes to use nanoparticles to create less-stinky socks. NanoHorizons, based in State College, Pa., has begun to sell a line of metallic nanoparticles that are compatible with standard polymer manufacturing processes. This means that silver, gold and other metals that kill bacteria and odor-causing microbes can be incorporated into shoes, athletic equipment and other plastic or nylon products. "We're working with a company that does socks right now," said Dan Hayes, director of operations for NanoHorizons. The socks should be out in about a year. Currently, manufacturers can incorporate these metals into products by mixing a bulk form of the material into a polymer or evaporating a layer of metal onto a surface. This method, however, requires that manufacturers mix quite a bit of m...
