What should I do if I have axillary odor (bromhidrosis)?
Disease description:
Recently, I have been noticing a foul odor whenever my body sweats. After visiting the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as body odor (bromhidrosis). What should I do if I have body odor?

If you have bromhidrosis (body odor), you should maintain good personal hygiene by showering and changing clothes frequently. Choose breathable, sweat-absorbing clothing to reduce bacterial growth and sweat accumulation. Pay attention to a healthy diet; avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and consume more foods rich in vitamins and water, which may help regulate body odor.
If the symptoms of bromhidrosis are severe and affect your daily life, seek medical attention promptly. Consult a professional physician and choose an appropriate treatment method based on medical advice, such as medication, physical therapy, or surgical treatment. You may also consider using specialized deodorants or antiperspirant products, but ensure to select products suitable for sensitive skin and avoid excessive use that may cause skin irritation.
