Common Foot Problems In The Monsoon

The most common foot problems in monsoon are:

Stinking feet
Bromodosis, or stinky feet, is a common medical condition. It's due to a buildup of sweat, which results in bacteria growth on the skin. These bacteria cause bad odors. Fungal infections like athlete's foot can also lead to bromodosis.
Swelling around the nail folds
Paronychia, commonly known as bacterial nail infection, is inflammation of the region of the finger or toe from which the nail plate originates, which is called the proximal nail fold (PNF). This inflammation may occur in the short term, be a long-term problem, or one that keeps coming back.
Fungal Infections
A fungal skin infection often looks bright red and can spread across a large area. A fungal skin rash may also have characteristics, including color, more intense at the border. An athletes' foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection that usually begins between the toes. It commonly occurs in people whose feet have become very sweaty while confined inside tight-fitting shoes.

The most common foot problems in the monsoon are stinking, swelling around the nail folds, fungal infections, etc.
