Does having wet earwax necessarily mean one has axillary osmidrosis (body odor)?

“Moist ears” refers to a condition where the ear canal feels damp and the earwax is sticky. Regular professional ear canal cleaning at a hospital, avoiding water entry into the ears, and maintaining clean, dry ear canals are sufficient for management. Axillary osmidrosis (commonly known as “body odor”) is characterized by the secretion of foul-smelling sweat from the axillary (underarm) apocrine glands, often leaving yellowish stains on the underarm areas of clothing. These two conditions are unrelated. Maintaining good personal hygiene—keeping both the ear canals and axillae clean and dry—is recommended in daily life.
