Toe cheese: causes and treatment
Toe cheese is an informal term often used to describe an unpleasant odour or substance that can accumulate between the toes as a result of a fungal infection such as athlete's foot, or due to poor foot hygiene.
It can also refer to dead skin cells and other debris that accumulate between the toes. It is important to maintain good foot hygiene practices and treat any fungal infections to avoid or remedy this issue.
PediSpray® foot spray and PediFris® Classic help tackle excessive sweat production and bacteria that cause odour.
The Causes of Toe Cheese
- Athlete's Foot: The culprit, also known as tinea pedis, thrives in moist environments and prefers the space between your toes. It causes itching, flaking, and lays the groundwork for the formation of toe cheese.
- Excessive Sweat: Sweaty feet are an unpleasant reality for many and provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, resulting in the formation of this unwanted substance.

Tips to Prevent Toe Cheese
Toe cheese causes odour that is unpleasant and bothersome for the surroundings and for your own self-confidence. To counter this, it is important to follow a few basic steps for good foot hygiene:
- Wash your feet daily with a mild soap and lukewarm water. Make sure to clean well between your toes, where most bacteria gather.
- Thoroughly dry your feet with absorbent towels or take the time to let them air dry after washing.
- Regularly change your socks and shoes, as moisture is a haven for toe cheese-causing fungi.
- Choose breathable socks, such as those made of cotton or wool instead of nylon or synthetic materials that can trap moisture, allowing more bacteria to accumulate.
- Care for your toenails by trimming them regularly
- Remove dirt under your toenails (be careful to avoid injury)
- Use disinfectant powder like PediFris® in your shoes
- Use an antiperspirant like PediSpray®

In short
What to do about toe cheese
The most important thing is to keep your feet clean. Wash your feet every day with a mild soap and warm water, then dry them thoroughly. Make sure to scrub between each toe to remove any bacteria that can cause odour.
Is athlete's foot contagious?
That depends. Toe cheese itself is not contagious. It is a buildup of dirt and bacteria. This can occur when a person has athlete's foot, a skin infection, or poor hygiene.
If a fungus is the underlying cause of toe cheese, the fungus can spread through the toe cheese.
```What does toe cheese smell like?
Toe cheese has a strong, pungent odour due to the presence of butyric acid, produced by Brevibacterium. The smell is comparable to sweaty feet.
