Patients with mild bromhidrosis may initially undergo conservative treatment. Therefore, maintaining local cleanliness, hygiene, and dryness in daily life is essential—this includes frequent clothing changes and regular bathing to reduce sweat secretion and bacterial growth. Additionally, patients may use antiperspirants applied at regular intervals to help alleviate symptoms. For those seeking definitive cure, surgical excision of the apocrine glands is an option, offering a more thorough treatment approach.
