Treatment for mild body odor

Body odor is very common. Many people have body odor due to problems with the sweat glands in their armpits. When this happens, don't be too anxious. There are many ways to improve body odor, and there are some good methods during conditioning. So what are the treatments for mild body odor? For mild body odor, you can also choose some conservative methods in treatment.

So what is the treatment for mild body odor? This is something many people are not clear about. However, when improving mild body odor, you should be careful not to choose a method that is too complicated. Simple methods are best. A detailed introduction is given below.

Treatment for mild body odor:

Incense Covering Method:

Spray scented powder or perfume on your armpits to cover up the sweat odor with the fragrance. It is effective for a short time.

External use:

By applying antiperspirants and antibacterial drugs containing fragrances externally, the secretion of sweat can be reduced and the relief effect can be achieved. For example, applying 3% to 5% formalin solution externally once a day can coagulate local skin proteins, thereby destroying the openings of hair follicles and sweat glands, reducing sweat secretion and excretion. However, since it cannot completely destroy the sweat glands, it can only relieve the symptoms. This method is more suitable for patients with mild body odor.

Causes

1. Apocrine bromhidrosis

Apocrine sweat glands only exist in the armpits, areola, umbilicus, anus, vulva and external auditory canal. Except for the armpits, the function of these glands in other parts is very weak and the sweat produced is very little. The sweat secreted by the apocrine sweat glands is initially sterile. Under the action of microorganisms, the organic matter in the sweat is decomposed to form short-chain fatty acids and ammonia with a special odor, leading to the occurrence of apocrine bromhidrosis.

2. Eccrine bromhidrosis

It often occurs on the palms, soles and intertriginous areas. Sweat is usually colorless and odorless. However, in the case of excessive sweating, sweat is decomposed by parasitic bacteria on the skin surface to release fatty acids, which produces a special odor. Other substances such as garlic and arsenic can be excreted through the sweat glands to cause odor.

The above is a detailed introduction to the treatment methods for mild body odor. You can choose the above methods when improving mild body odor. However, when improving this type of problem, you should also pay attention to taking a long time. In order to completely cure body odor, many people will choose surgery. This treatment method is also a good choice.
