Along with arm pits, feet are a major contributors to body odor. Some people prefer applying underarm deodorants to the feet. However, it is better to use a foot deodorant as it is better suited to solve the problem of smelly feet. Alcohol present in the foot deodorant temporarily destroys the bacteria, while other antimicrobials slow down the bacterial growth, thereby reducing bad odor.
Foot antiperspirants are products that reduce foot odor by controlling the sweat produced by the sweat glands. Some products combine foot deodrants and foot perspirants to control smelly feet.
