  • My foot looks like it has a wart on the bottom of it. How can I get rid of it?

    First you should see a Dermatologist or Podiatrist to confirm it is a wart. Genereally a wart has no skin lines going through it and has pin point bleeding when you shave it. Once confirmed it is a wart, there are several treatment options. most conservative is to apply Salicylic acid (17-40%) once a day. Try not to get alot on healthy skin can cause a chemical burn. Other more aggressive treatments include excision of wart,laser, and freezing among others that a podiatrist or dermatologist offer. Topical Salicylic acid can take several weeks to get rid. Other treatment are quicker but usually require local anesthesia READ MORE

  • Could foot odor be a sign of an infection?

    Could be a sign of Hyperhydorsis or too much sweating, which can lead to athlete's foot(fungus). You can try antiperspirant spray once every 2 to 3 days if you apply too often can dry out too much. If that doesn't work can try an antifungal cream. A bacterial infection needs a portal of entry and is very mal odorous usually present in diabetic ulcerations. READ MORE
