Suggest Remedy For Foot Odor
i went to the Dr today, and asked about my foot odor problem, then she said it was fungal, along with a brown spot on my chest. the she looked in the creases of my legs, next to my genitalia, and my anus. also had a leg pain that was swollen near my ankle, she said it was all caused by this fungus, that she believes to be living inside of me???? Does this sound right?

Hello,
The fungus may sometimes be a generalized infection. Maybe this was what the doctor meant. This indicates that local ointments will not help and you may need to take oral drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
