DS 6 has industrial-strength stinky feet . why?? what is it?

[worriermum]

I know, I know that any boy's feet can be a little whiffy at the end of a very hot, sporty day. But really, this is beyond normal stink-o. And his shoes have to be removed to the garden or they render the entire room unbearable. . I am treating for athlete's foot, but surely this is unlikely in a six year old? Anyone else encountered this? Anyone have any advice or experience to impart?

Fungal most likely. Had friend who suffered badly from this throughout his teens and early twenties until he finally plucked up courage to see GP and got stuff to wash with and put on.

It took over a year to fully cure but his feet now no longer smell and he is a happy man.

Would go to GP...
