Question
My three yr old has really stinky feet. It should said that my mom also has smelly feet. Is this something he needs to be seen about? Is there anything I can do? If he takes his shoes off in the car I can smell it while driving, it is more prominant when he doesnt wear socks. Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Amy,

This is nothing to worry about.  I would make sure that he switches shoes and socks more often.

If you are concerned I would see a Podiatrist.
