I have body odor (bromhidrosis). Every time summer comes or after intense exercise, the smell from my body becomes particularly unpleasant, so I'm very afraid of interacting with others. How can body odor be completely eliminated?

There are several clinically effective methods to permanently treat body odor. Patients can choose to go to the hospital for treatments such as semiconductor laser therapy or high-frequency electroacupuncture to suppress the function of apocrine glands, thereby alleviating symptoms of body odor. Additionally, under a doctor's guidance, patients may opt for injections of botulinum toxin type A or similar medications to destroy the sweat glands in the armpits, thus reducing body odor.
