-Your husband is most probably is having skin condition called pitted
keratolysis...it is a superficial bacterial infection of soles...characterised by
whitish skin and clusters of punched-out pits.
-It is one of the common causes of smelly feet.
-Apply topical fusidic acid2% twice a day for 3 weeks.
-Wear boots for as short a period as possible.
-Wear cotton socks and wash them in warm water on daily basis.
-If having excessive sweating of feet than apply antiperspirant to the feet at
least twice weekly
Hope this will help...
