Treatment options for axillary osmidrosis include pharmacological therapy, physical therapy, and surgical intervention. Pharmacological therapy may involve the use of deodorants or antiperspirants. Physical therapy includes modalities such as laser therapy, high-frequency electroacupuncture, radiofrequency, and ultrasound treatments. Surgical treatment involves the destruction or removal of apocrine glands and is considered a more definitive approach to managing axillary osmidrosis.
