Tetra’s 3-Step Fix For Smelly Feet!

Your patients have tried it all: powders, different socks, sprays…but the foot odor just keeps coming back. Why? The truth is, most over-the-counter “solutions” only mask the problem; they’re like using an air freshener in a room without taking out the trash.

When patients who struggle with persistent foot smells, Tetra delivers. Read on for a complete guide to fixing the problem!

Stop Odor at Its Source

Foot odor isn’t one issue; rather, it’s a 3-part cycle.

1. Sweat: Your feet have over 250,000 sweat glands, creating a damp environment.
2. Infection: This moisture allows bacteria and fungus (like Athlete’s Foot) to thrive.
3. Environment: The bacteria and fungus live in your shoes, re-infecting your clean feet every time you put them on.

To stop foot odor for good, you have to attack all three parts of the issue.

Step 1: Control the Moisture

You can’t have odor without excessive moisture. The first step is to control the source: the sweat itself. This is especially true for those with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

• The Problem: Persistent wetness that soaks through socks and creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
• The Solution: An astringent spray clinically proven to reduce moisture and close pores.
• The Tool: NeverWet® Astringent Spray. This professional-strength formula uses a combination of Aluminum Chloride (a first-line treatment) and Witch Hazel to safely and effectively control plantar hyperhidrosis.

Step 2: Treat the Infection

Sweat feeds the fungus and bacteria that cause Athlete’s Foot. This infection is a primary source of odor and that “dead skin” buildup.

• The Problem: Active fungal infections (like Athlete’s Foot or ringworm) that cause itching, scaling, and odor.
• The Solution: An antifungal that both treats the fungus and heals damaged skin.
• The Tool: FungiFoam®. This is a 4-in-1 powerhouse. Its oil-soluble tolnaftate penetrates deep to kill the fungus. It also contains ingredients to calm itchy skin, moisturize dry tissue, and exfoliate scaling, flaky skin.

Step 3: Decontaminate Your Shoes

This is the step everyone misses. What’s the point of having clean, dry, and treated feet if you stick them right back into a shoe that’s a “bacteria hotel”?

• The Problem: Your shoes are full of odor-causing bacteria and fungus from yesterday.
• The Solution: An antimicrobial shield that eliminates 99.9% of the microbes on contact.
• The Tool: Clean Sweep® Antimicrobial Shoe Shield. This isn’t a deodorizer that just masks the smell. It’s a powerful antimicrobial that bonds to your shoe’s material, killing the germs and neutralizing the acids (like urea and ammonia) that cause the odor.
