What to do if you have body odor

Although body odor will not cause any harm to human health, the smell it emits will seriously affect the patient's communication, especially for patients with more serious symptoms. Because the smell is relatively strong, it will make the patient have a very strong sense of inferiority. If this continues for a long time, it will have a certain impact on the patient's psychology. Therefore, when facing body odor, we must find a way to solve it. What should we do if we have body odor?

Most patients with body odor do not have any odor in their armpits when they are young. Generally, the odor will not occur until puberty. And because it is hereditary, it is not a disease that can be eliminated simply by prevention. The best way is to treat it in time after it occurs.

Generally, effective methods for treating body odor include:

1. Cauterization: This method of treating body odor includes commonly used lasers, high-frequency electroacupuncture, etc. The cauterization can destroy hair follicles and sweat glands, thereby achieving the treatment goal, but it can only control it for a short time and cannot cure it.

2. Topical medications: Topical medications mainly have antiperspirant, antibacterial and fragrance-maintaining functions, which can temporarily relieve symptoms. This method of treating body odor is mainly for patients with mild symptoms of body odor. If the symptoms are severe, this method is not suitable. Drug treatment often only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.

3. Local drug injection: The injection method can use the pharmacological properties of the drug to atrophy the apocrine sweat glands and block the ducts, thereby inhibiting the secretion of the apocrine sweat glands. However, if the injection method is not mastered properly, it may cause damage to deep nerves and blood vessels or necrosis of the skin. This is one of the more commonly used methods for treating body odor.

4. Minimally invasive surgery: With the development of medical technology, minimally invasive surgery to treat body odor has become the first choice for patients with body odor, because minimally invasive surgery is the only way to fundamentally treat body odor.

What should you do if you have body odor? The above methods are for patients with more serious symptoms. If your symptoms are relatively mild, you just need to pay attention to keeping your armpits clean. Here I will teach you a little secret, which is to use sulfur soap to clean your armpits in the summer. Apply sulfur soap on your armpits and wash it off after it dries. This can keep you odor-free for a while.
