I went to the Dermatologist last year because I had spots on my feet that were reddish brown. They were almost like freckles but I have an olive complexion. They were on my toes, sides of my feet, and a little on my ankles. The Doctor said they looked like a circulatory problem and maybe my socks or shoes were too tight. He said that when we wear too tight socks it causes the blood to gather under the skin and not flow evenly which causes the discoloration. I have tried calf and foot stretches, massage, and replaced all of my socks. I recently tried elevating my feet. I do need to increase my exercise. Any other suggestions? How long does it take before this will go away? It has been well over a year. I am starting to think the spots will never go away.

When I wear my sneakers, I mostly wear them without socks, since I hate wearing socks, and when I do wear them the insoles stick to my feet, especially the cloth insoles. They really stick to my feet. When I wear my New Balance sneakers, and I take them off my feet the insoles really stick to my feet, and the insoles sometimes come out of the sneaker. What casues the insoles to stick to my feet. THis happens to all the footwear I wear including my sandals, and my deck shoes; therefore what causes the stickiness?

This usually happens inside though. Along with being damp they smell a little bad too. Any suggestions for dry, good smelling feet/socks?
