How to treat axillary osmidrosis
Disease description:
It’s getting hot, and I’ve started experiencing some underarm odor, which is quite troubling. Could you please advise how to address this issue?
There are primarily two approaches to managing axillary osmidrosis: pharmacological treatment and surgical intervention. For mild cases, topical antimicrobial and antiperspirant agents—such as sodium chloride solution or calamine lotion—may be applied as directed by a physician. In more severe cases, patients should seek care at a reputable hospital, where medical interventions—such as microwave therapy—can be employed. This technique targets and destroys tissue in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer, thereby ablating the apocrine sweat glands responsible for the odor.
