If the body odor is mild, local external treatment is enough. Patients can use 20% aluminum chloride solution to scrub the armpit area, or use povidone-iodine solution, potassium permanganate solution or neomycin solution for local wet compresses, which can kill bacteria and reduce odor. The role of flavor. Patients with body odor can be injected locally with botulinum toxin to block the innervation function of nerve endings and reduce the secretion of sweat glands, thus helping to control the symptoms of body odor. This therapy can achieve the effect of radically curing body odor. The specific method is to insert the front end of the microneedle into the subcutaneous tissue of the armpit, emit radio frequency, and use high-temperature control technology to promote necrosis of apocrine tissue.
Body odor, also known as underarm odor, is hereditary. The main way to eradicate it is surgical treatment. However, it is recommended to perform surgery after puberty, because the symptoms are most severe when the apocrine glands develop during puberty. The odor will be significantly reduced after surgical removal of apocrine glands. You can also try laser treatment or ion cauterization treatment. Surgery is not recommended for those with mild symptoms. Surgery will not lead to significant improvement at this time. Pay attention to avoid excessive sweating in your armpits. Especially in summer, you must shower frequently. Wearing breathable and sweat-absorbent clothing can help reduce odor. Patients with body odor also need to avoid eating foods with pungent odors, such as onions. , garlic, leeks, etc. to avoid aggravating the smell of body odor.
Body odor is related to genetic causes and is aggravated in adolescents and children. The treatment methods for body odor are as follows: 1. Surgical treatment to remove apocrine sweat glands. The advantage is that the apocrine glands are removed through surgery. The advantage is that it is less likely to occur. , the defect is that it is very easy to leave scars. 2. Ablation surgery for body odor uses microwave radiofrequency or microwave heating to carry out spot-like destruction and high-temperature cauterization of each sweat gland to destroy the sweat glands. The advantage is that the damage is relatively small and scars are not easily left, but the disadvantage is that it may occur. 3. Partially inject botulinum toxin to inhibit sweat gland metabolism and achieve the effect of deodorizing. The advantage is that it takes effect immediately and causes almost no damage. The disadvantage is that it must be injected once every six months.
The main method of curing body odor is surgical treatment. Generally, if the patient is over 18 years old, bilateral axillary curative surgery will be performed. At present, there are relatively mature surgical methods, which mainly use an incision of about 3-4cm, parallel to the armpit fold line. After the incision, the apocrine glands in the entire armpit are completely removed. This surgical method is a more thorough treatment and has a low recurrence rate. If the scar recovers well, the scar area will be relatively hidden and will not affect the appearance. It is a recommended method. After treatment, it will usually be cured, but body odor is a hereditary disease, and there is a chance that your children will have body odor. In medicine, this disease is called underarm odor.
