To address body odor issues, maintain good personal hygiene by showering regularly and using antibacterial products to clean sweat-prone areas such as the armpits, keeping the skin dry. Choose breathable clothing and avoid tight-fitting garments to reduce sweat accumulation. In terms of diet, reduce intake of spicy and greasy foods, and consume more foods rich in vitamins and minerals. If symptoms are mild, you may try using antiperspirants or deodorants to alleviate symptoms. If body odor significantly affects your life, it is recommended to consult a professional physician and choose appropriate treatments such as medication, physical therapies like laser treatment, or surgical options based on individual conditions to effectively manage and resolve the issue. Maintain a positive attitude, as body odor can be effectively managed and treated.
