Causes of foot odor
1. Humid environment: the sole of the foot is a sweaty environment. The sole of the foot has more than 600 sweat glands per square centimeter, which is 2-4 times more than other parts of the body. A total of more than 250000 sweat glands can secrete nearly 500 ml of sweat a day. Besides moisture and salt, sweat also contains lactic acid and urea. When the water content is high, it is very conducive to the proliferation of bacteria and mold.
2. Stuffy and airtight space: when the shoes are worn tightly and the ventilation is poor, in addition to the increase of water content, the pH value on the skin surface will change from the original ph4.4 to about pH7, and carbon dioxide gas will be released. Such an environment is most suitable for the growth of some bacteria on the sole of the foot.
3. Bacterial reproduction: the addition of one or two factors causes the growth of foot skin bacteria. These bacteria can decompose keratin of skin, urea and lactic acid components in foot sweat, and form various metabolites containing odor
4. Mold propagation: hot and humid environment will make mold grow and form foot odor, commonly known as xianggangjiao. The symptoms of athlete's foot are very diverse.

5. Too thick old cutin: under the infiltration of sweat, too thick old cutin will become the nutrient source needed by bacteria and molds, promote the proliferation and reproduction of bacteria and molds, and worsen the formation of foot odor.
