Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment in Dallas, TX & Plano, TX, Specialist Provides Cures for Sweaty Feet

Most people have experienced sweaty feet at some point in their lifetime. It can be annoying and inconvenient, but it can also cause foot problems if there’s an underlying cause or if the sweating is extreme! If you suffer from sweaty feet, our expert for laser toenail fungus treatment in Dallas, TX & Plano, TX, wants to share some tips with you.

Causes of Sweaty Feet

Most people associate sweaty feet with exercise or simply being active in the heat. While this is true, sometimes people can have problems with sweaty feet in the winter due to overly warm boots with poor ventilation or very thick socks.

Additionally, some people just naturally have sweaty feet due to overactive sweat glands, also known as hyperhidrosis. This affects the feet as well as the hands, and can be very inconvenient and cause problems with foot health for the sufferer.

Complications of Sweaty Feet

Sweaty feet contribute to the growth of foot fungus, the development of fungal nails, and athlete’s foot. These conditions are characterized by discomfort, itching, and rash. They can lead to further complications, such as foot pain, thickened toenails, and even open sores and infection. It’s critical to prevent sweat and bacteria buildup to stop these conditions from developing.

Treatments and Prevention

Here are a few simple steps to take care of sweaty feet at home:

Wash your feet every day with an antifungal soap to remove any fungus-causing bacteria and excess sweat.
Use antifungal powder and antiperspirants, especially in the summer or when exercising. For people with hyperhidrosis, antiperspirants are absolutely essential to prevent sweating and preserve foot health. You can purchase these over-the-counter.
Wear good quality socks and shoes with ventilation to ensure your feet can breathe and cool off!

The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.

The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.

I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
