Question
Can diabetes patients’ foot odor be transmitted to their babies at home?
Answer
Diabetes patients’ foot odor is typically caused by fungal infections, which are not contagious diseases. However, fungi can spread within the home environment, so it’s important to maintain personal and environmental hygiene. For treatment, consider using antifungal medications such as Daktarin or Canesten. Additionally, it’s recommended to avoid eating high-protein foods like eggs and fish, keep the feet dry and clean, and consume fruits rich in vitamins such as apples and fresh dates.
