After developing axillary osmidrosis (body odor), the underarm skin is typically cleaned with a Rivanol solution, which helps disinfect the area and significantly reduces unpleasant odor. For more severe cases of axillary osmidrosis, laser surgery on the underarms at a hospital is often recommended. This treatment is rapid, direct, and highly effective, yielding excellent results in eliminating body odor. In daily life, avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing to minimize excessive underarm sweating.
