Axillary osmidrosis (bromhidrosis) can be treated surgically. Daily hygiene is essential—ideally, bathing daily—to effectively alleviate symptoms. Alternatively, laser therapy may be used; this is a minimally invasive procedure and has become increasingly popular, particularly the small-incision technique. Postoperatively, it is crucial to keep the axillary area dry and clean, avoid excessive physical activity, limit intake of spicy or stimulating foods, maintain a regular lifestyle, and ensure emotional stability.
