The stench of the feet is an unpleasant, often disgusting odor, due to an overproduction of sweat by the sweat glands located in the sole of the foot. The sweat accumulated in the feet (which stagnates in the sock), in turn, lays the foundations for creating an environment conducive to the proliferation of certain bacteria that habitually populate the skin surface.
The typical smell of feet (technically defined plantar bromhidrosis) perceived after a long and stressful day of work derives essentially from the exhalation of amines and short-chain fatty acids produced by germs starting from the metabolization of keratin, sweat and skin lipids.
In some circumstances, the odor of the feet becomes more intense and nauseating: in the presence of strong stress, anxiety or tension, the stench of the feet is fed because one tends to sweat more. Similarly, the administration of some pharmacological specialties (eg . penicillin), certain diseases (hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism) and the intake of alcohol and nerve substances can negatively affect the odor of the feet.
When sweat stagnates in the foot for too long (poor personal hygiene), the stench of the feet can be accompanied by burning, itching, sores and local redness.
