There are many reasons for foot sweating. First of all, the palms and soles of the feet are the areas with the highest density of small sweat glands. There are 620 sweat glands per square centimeter in the soles of the feet, while there are only 140 to 340 per square centimeter in other parts of the human body. Therefore, after strenuous exercise or walking for a long time in hiking shoes, foot sweating will increase; emotional excitement increases sympathetic nerve impulses, and increased secretion of acetylcholine can also cause increased sweating; in addition, the tension of the nerves that control the sweat glands to secrete sweat increases, causing it to have a strong sweating reaction to normal intensity nerve stimulation. In addition, some systemic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, obesity, diabetes, infectious high fever, eating spicy food and some genetic factors can also cause excessive sweating all over the body. Excessive sweating generally does not cause harm to the body, but it can have a serious impact on a person's psychology because it produces a special unpleasant odor. In addition, patients with sweaty feet often suffer from athlete's foot. Once you suffer from athlete's foot, your feet will become itchy, blistered, and eroded in the summer, and may even cause erysipelas in the lower limbs.
