My feet are so stinky. Help!

 

Check these out, too...

This is so embarrassing, but my feet always stink. I can’t take my shoes off in front of anyone because they smell so bad. What can I do?

 

 

No one’s feet smell fabulous. Why? Blame bacteria. Sweaty and damp conditions make these icky organisms multiply, causing that not-so-swell odor to come creeping out of your shoes. And depending on the kind of bacteria found on your feet, some people’s tootsies stink extra bad.

 

To minimize foot funk, always wear cotton socks and try alternating among different shoes each day, giving each pair time to dry out (cleaning them regularly helps as well). And when you’re just hanging around at home, go barefoot. That includes skipping socks when you’re sleeping. Bacteria are eliminated when your feet have a chance to breathe—and that way, others around you can breathe easy, too.

I have a bad gas problem. I fart even when i don't have to go.......you know. How can i stop the gas? HELP!!!!

Hey girl, check out these articles for some helpful advice: "Tips for Healthy Digestion" & "My stomach keeps making loud noises at school."  You might want to check in with your parents and if you're still worried, suggest going to see a doctor.  Yearly checkup coming up?  That would be a great time to ask about the gas.  Good luck!

My feet stink bad when I take off my shoes. Even after I take a shower! But this will help: Wash your feet with warm water for about 3 minutes to get all the dirty things off them. Then, Get a towel and dry them. Then get lotion and massage the lotion in your feet and between your toes. Make sure all of your foot has been massaged. Now that your done with that, put your feet in the bath tub (make sure its warm) and scrub them with a scrubber. (It can be any kind of hard scrubber.) Then, apply some soap on the scrubber so you can get the soap to relax your feet. Massage one for 2 minutes and the other for 2 minutes. After your done. Dry them. Like neonroxursox said, put on some cozy socks. Keep them on for the rest of the night. Then, When you wake up in the morning, take of the socks and they will be soft and warm. I hope this helps Girly's!

i have a habit of cracking my knuckles! is there any way to break this habit?

Hey girlie,

I would try to distract yourself from thinking about it until you don't want to do it anymore. Or you could give yourself a reward for not cracking them, like that you could paint your nails if you didn't crack them or something else small that would work for you.

In my religion, you have to go barefoot in the house and at the temple so my feet is always breathing! Laughing
Except at skool, out-door playing, going shopping, or at a friend's house who isn't your same religion.

You should wash your feet every time you get home from school and DRY THEM THOROUGHLY. The other tips are great, too. Also, your doctor might be able to help you with some kind of antibacterial lotion.

To kill stinky feet:

*Put a light layer of baby powder in your shoes after use. Air out. Baking soda works too.
*Throw your soft flats in the dryer with a dryer sheet with some dry towels. It will dry out any most left behind & make em' smell fresh.
*Lotion your feet before you go to bed. Use some nice soft socks and wear them. When you wake up in the morning, they will feel soft & smell great.
*Soak your feet in a bubble bath massaging in some bath salts or bath lotion. Rinse with warm water.

-Rub salt, oatmeal, olive oil, and some green tea leafs [you can break open a green tea bag and pour the stuff in] on your toes & feet. Rinse with warm water.

Good luck, hope this helps chicas!
