How to effectively remove underarm odor
Disease description:
I have had axillary odor since childhood, and as I've aged, the symptoms seem to have worsened. Being around others is very embarrassing. I would like to ask, how can axillary odor be effectively treated or eliminated?
Effective removal of axillary odor can be approached from multiple aspects:
1. Maintain good personal hygiene: Bathe frequently, especially paying attention to cleaning the armpits. Keeping the armpits dry and clean can reduce bacterial growth.
2. Adjust dietary habits: Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Consuming more water-rich fruits and vegetables may help alleviate body odor.
3. Use topical medications: Such as antiperspirants and antibacterial agents. These medications can reduce sweat secretion and inhibit bacterial growth, thus alleviating axillary odor.
4. Physical therapy: Such as laser treatment and high-frequency electroacupuncture therapy. These treatments destroy apocrine glands or hair follicles, interrupting the sweat gland excretion pathway to eliminate axillary odor.
5. Surgical treatment: For severe cases of axillary odor, surgical options such as minimally invasive procedures can be considered. Using specialized instruments, a small incision is made in the armpit area to destroy and remove the odor-causing apocrine glands.
