So, how to judge the severity of underarm odor?
Serious: This kind of person will smell a pungent smell when passing by you, and the smell is very strong, which is the severity of underarm odor.
Moderate: generally you can smell it after entering the house for a while.
Mild: You can put gauze under your arm, then take it down and smell it with your nose to see if it smells good. This is one of the most effective ways to distinguish the severity of bromhidrosis.
How to treat body odor?
First, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep your skin clean. Pay attention to cleaning, wash the affected area with soap, take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently and keep the skin dry.
Second, take a bath after exercise. When doing strenuous activities or excessive exercise at ordinary times, you will inevitably sweat a lot, which creates favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria. Therefore, after exercise, you must take a bath, clean your skin, change your underwear frequently, and reduce bacterial reproduction.
Third, reduce the irritation to the armpit skin. Usually, it is necessary to reduce the long-term chronic irritation to the armpit skin, such as shaving or plucking armpit hair frequently, so as not to cause hair follicle hyperplasia and hypertrophy. If the sweat glands are hypertrophy, it can secrete too much sweat and increase the excretion and exudation of lipids. At the same time, the armpit is warm, humid and airtight, which is easy to breed bacteria, decompose excessive unsaturated fatty acids and increase odor. Therefore, don't pull out armpit hair often.
Fourth, wear loose underwear. Young men and women like to wear tights, jeans and so on. Keep the skin close to the clothes and prevent the secretion from volatilizing. Especially in summer, these parts have high temperature and high humidity, which become a "culture medium" for bacteria, prompting some bacteria to breed and decompose, resulting in special odor aggravation.
