Hi there,
My English is not very good, so please be patient w/me.
I have mild plantar hyperhidrosis, but in the last 2 months developed the nastiet case of bromhidrosis. Visited several dermatologists but nobody could cure this condition, their treatments weren't any good.
I learn that bacterias guilty of the foul odor are 'Staphylococcus epidermis' and 'Corynebacterium minutissimum', they use to live in our bodies but somehow it turned into a sepsis, invading some areas such as feet, axillas, etc. With this on mind, is legit to think: kill these bacterias - kill the odour - get back your life!
So here's my treatment:
ASK TO YOU DERMATOLOGIST TO PERFORM A BIOPSY IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE BACTERIA GUILTY OF THIS CONDITION
1) Take Levofloxacin 500, one pill daily during 7 days ONLY IF YOUR DERMATOLOGIST AGREES, IT'S A VERY STRONG DRUG WITH MANY ADVERSE EFFECTS
2) Get Clorhexidina soap and take a shower twice a day, clean all your body w/this soap even in odor-less areas.
3) You will need Fusidic Acid cream to apply in your feet, which should be super-dry, pay special attention on your toes. Apply at least 3 times a day, changing your cotton socks everytime
4) Change towels and bed sheets, clean with lysol, bleach or any disinfectant, if possibly wash in 60ºC water. Also clean the bathroom floor and any surface your feet touched, same routine for your shoes and clothes. I know it looks too much, but is the only way to get rid of this odor.
In a couple of days the odor disappeared, but the Levofloxacin intake must go on 7 days, and a whole month for the Clorhexidina soap plus Fusidic Acid cream routine.
Be careful taking Levofloxacin, check the small print in order to find out any adverse effect that would be bad for your health.
Remember, in spite the odor leaves in two days, you must complete the whole treatment.
This forum helped me to cope with this horrible situation, so I'm very grateful to this community.
I hope this guide would help somebody.
Cheers!!!
