For mild axillary osmidrosis, topical antimicrobial medications may be applied as prescribed by a physician, such as potassium permanganate solution or sodium chloride solution. If pharmacological treatment fails to eliminate the odor, surgical intervention may be considered—either conventional surgery or minimally invasive procedures—to remove the apocrine glands and thereby treat the condition. Following diagnosis of mild axillary osmidrosis, it is important to adopt healthy habits: regularly cleanse the axillary area, frequently change clothing, and avoid strenuous physical activity.
