The bad smell in the feet is not a very pleasant situation that we say, and on certain occasions, it can be a reason for mockery or something of which we can be ashamed. Although we don’t always have control over its causes, we can end the problem
Like most bad body odors, foot odor is caused by bacteria, so we must eliminate them with proper hygiene, a change of diet, and the support of some home remedies.
