What causes strong armpit odor?

Many people may not know why there is a strong armpit odor. The smell under the armpits is also called body odor. The main reason for its formation is that the sweat glands under the armpits are more developed and secrete more sweat. Therefore, if you want to get rid of body odor, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your armpits frequently, and change your underwear frequently. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why your underarms may smell bad.

1. Introduction

Armpit odor is believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be caused by internal stasis of damp heat, while Western medicine believes that it is a special odor emitted after the secretions of the apocrine sweat glands under the armpits contain unsaturated fatty acids and proteins that are decomposed by staphylococci on the skin surface. This odor is simply called armpit odor.

No matter who you are, if you sweat a lot and don't take a bath or change clothes, your armpits will have some odor. That is to say, a normal person may suddenly have a bad odor due to various reasons. Currently, most people with underarm odor have it inherited. Medically speaking, axillary odor is a common disease like colds and headaches, so there is no need to be shy. You should go to a doctor for consultation and receive treatment openly.

Living in today's era that strongly advocates "odorlessness", feeling that one has a bad smell or suspecting that one has body odor can become a mental stress for people. The stronger society's rejection of body odor, the greater the mental stress. Increased mental stress and continued tension will lead to worsening of body odor. Not only will body odor become more serious; the color on the shirt is difficult to wash off, and the corrosive effect of sweat stains will affect the life of the clothes. Not to mention the economic losses, it will also affect work, study and life.

2. Treatment Principles

The treatment of underarm odor mainly relies on topical products, surgery and physical therapy to completely destroy the small and large sweat glands that secrete sebaceous glands. However, surgical treatment cannot completely remove the small and large sweat glands, so it often leads to repeated attacks. Some topical medications can only relieve symptoms based on the principle of covering up odor with fragrance, and will cause recurrence after discontinuation of use. The best-selling Jingbao Underarm Odor Removing Cream on the market today is based on the work of its predecessors, and adds skin penetrants, follicle pore shrinking agents and bactericides to completely organize the spread of odor, deeply kill decomposing bacteria, change the structure of the sebaceous glands, and cause the sebaceous glands to atrophy and gradually lose their function. Therefore, it is more thorough and comprehensive than surgical removal of the sebaceous glands, and can achieve the effect of permanently eradicating underarm odor. Therefore, patients after surgery must use Jingbao anti-armpit odor cream to consolidate a course of treatment to prevent recurrence.
