Feet Issue

[Guest guest]

What can I put on my son's feet? He sweats profusly - damn I cannot spell

that word! His feet sweat A LOT....lol

The skin gets red, then breaks down into millions of little cuts - to the

point where walking is painful. I would appreciate any ideas

Let him go barefoot as much as you can (where you know it is safe) and let him

wear sandals in the hot weather. In the cooler weather, bring extra socks and

have him change them often (had him rinse them off when possible). 's

feet get irritated from staying in the sweaty socks. So if we are out for more

than a few hours, I usually have a pair of fresh socks with me. I also have

used baby wipes to freshen her feet up before putting new socks on. 's

feet get really smelly from the sweat too, so the wipes help with that.

Try putting neosporin on his feet at night with socks to heal up those cuts. It

may take a while but it will be better than nothing. I hope it works.

You could try lanolin for the cuts on his feet. The safest kind to buy would be

one recomended for breast feeding mothers. That way you know the product is

very pure. My feet crack badly in the summer, and swabing them in the lanolin

at night makes them so much better by morning.

Before his feet get that way you could try all cotton socks that have a

medicated powder in them...only you would need to put the powder in them well

away from your son. We let Patti wear sandals a lot. Even in the winter

(remember we live in Texas) we mostly just put socks on her feet and then her

sandals. The idea is for breathability. There are new tennishoes on the market

that have so many holes in them that they look like sandals, Nike and Addidas

make some. In the winter could just pack these in his bag and change into

them with a clean pair of socks when he got to school. If they sit long periods

at the desk you could request that he be allowed to take off his shoes. This is

where the slip on tennies and sandals come in handy as it won't slow the class

down waiting for him to get his shoes on. Pack a clean pair of socks so that he

can change at lunch or whenever his feet start to get wet.

I hope this helps some...

I don't know if this would help him, but my husband is a diabetic and has

problems with his feet. He uses nedicated foot powder in his socks, and that

really seems to help with the sweating and the smell!!!
