Treatment options for bromhidrosis (fox odor) include laser-assisted minimally invasive removal, traditional surgical excision of axillary apocrine glands, or botulinum toxin injections. Traditional surgery generally yields better long-term results and a lower recurrence rate. However, it is more invasive and requires a longer postoperative recovery period. If opting for botulinum toxin therapy, injections must be administered according to a prescribed treatment course. Additionally, the dosage of botulinum toxin must be carefully controlled to avoid excessive adverse effects.
