Body odor is not an unchangeable personal defect, but rather a manageable and improvable condition through various approaches.

It is recommended to seek professional medical advice from a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to explore and try different treatment options, such as topical medications, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery, to reduce or eliminate body odor symptoms. Additionally, maintaining personal hygiene and choosing suitable antiperspirants or deodorant products can also effectively manage body odor in daily life.
