Axillary bromhidrosis (body odor) can be treated with medications. Botulinum toxin injections help reduce the activity of sweat glands, thereby decreasing axillary sweating. Additionally, topical applications such as potassium permanganate solution or aluminum chloride solution can be used to cleanse the affected area; these agents possess both antibacterial and antiperspirant properties, aiding in the elimination of odor. In cases of severe symptoms, surgical intervention may be considered—aimed at excising the apocrine sweat glands—to achieve a definitive cure for bromhidrosis.
