Pharmacodynamics

The main effect of the "right" foot odor cream should be bactericidal. The fact is that often the appearance of an unpleasant odor is associated with the activity of certain microbes. If they are destroyed, the problem with the odor disappears by itself.

Another property of the external preparation for sweating and odor should be the narrowing of sweat glands, which helps to reduce the amount of sweat secreted.

The aroma of the product itself is also important: the presence of essential oils and menthol in the composition provides a deodorizing and soothing effect of the cream.

Also, when choosing a foot odor cream, it is necessary to take into account the speed and duration of action of the medication, which makes it more comfortable to use.

Best foot cream for odor

Since the range of external remedies for unpleasant foot odor is quite extensive, it is very difficult to choose the best cream from all the variety. It is good if the product contains natural components, such as oak bark extract (dries the skin), lemon extract (deodorizes and cleanses the skin), propolis (eliminates inflammation and kills germs).

Before applying the cream to your feet, you must test it for possible allergies. This advice is especially relevant for people who are prone to allergic reactions.

In addition, you cannot apply the cream to areas of the skin that have any inflammatory elements: boils, dermatitis, abscesses, etc. Otherwise, even the best cream can give a completely opposite reaction and aggravate the inflammatory process.

If the cream contains hormonal agents (for example, Tselederm), then it can only be applied with strict adherence to the dosage and treatment regimen, since such drugs can cause resistance in the body, signs of intoxication and deterioration of the skin condition.

External preparations based on Dead Sea salts have proven themselves well. Such products are usually well absorbed, improve the general condition of skin tissues, and do not dry out the surface layers of the skin.

In general, almost any foot odor cream is worth considering. However, do not forget that the elimination of the problem of unpleasant odor should be carried out in a complex: follow hygiene rules, choose shoes and clothes correctly, walk barefoot more often on grass, sand, water. Such recommendations must be followed even when the problem is completely eliminated. This is the only way to achieve complete elimination of the nuisance.
