Dr. Liu Wan
Patients with bromhidrosis should visit the dermatology department of a reputable public hospital. Bromhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive secretion of sweat with a distinctive odor from the skin of the axillary region. It predominantly affects young women, often causing significant psychological distress and impairing daily life. Treatment options for bromhidrosis primarily include pharmacotherapy and surgical intervention.
