Hi

Can anyone recommend a good deodorising foot spray. Boots did one years ago in a turquoise/white bottle that was fab but I think its out of stock now and been replaced with one not so affective.

ah i used to love the smell of that spray

cucumber and peppermint i believe - fantastic for the summer - gutted they have stopped making it

I presume it's pachydermoperiostosis that you have? If you are wearing orthotics as well . In which case you are better off speaking to people with the same or similar problems. Since this is one of a number of dermal disorders these people http://www.patient.co.uk/support/Ectodermal-Dysplasia-Society.htm. may be good to talk to.

If it is just pachydermia then asking your go for a dermatology referral for an appropriate skin care regime would be better.

Hi

that got me thinking. I know its an inherited condition that every 2nd child on my mum's side has. I suffered a miscarriage on my second pregnancy so my kids don't have it.

I think it might be this Diffuse Hereditary PPK without associated features

I'm 50 and had it all my life and the smelly feet. Soaking them is a nightmare as the skin hardens so much I could grate cheese on it or it seems. The only way to tackle it is to sand it down and keep the feet moisturised.

Might be worth a trip to the GP but as i've had it so long I think I will continue doing what I am doing and tackle the smelly feet with the help of the peeps on here and their suggestions. The feet are much worse when I have been to Zumba but even on non Zumba days they are terrible.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
