The invasive treatment for axillary bromhidrosis is surgical intervention, which involves removing the affected skin and fat tissue to damage the sweat glands and thereby achieve the goal of treating axillary odor. During axillary bromhidrosis surgery, surrounding tissues may become red, swollen, or painful; applying ice packs can help alleviate these symptoms.
