Best Treatment for Bromhidrosis
Disease description:
I’ve noticed over the past two days that my body odor (bromhidrosis) is particularly strong—I even feel embarrassed when I sweat heavily. Could you please advise on the most effective treatments for bromhidrosis, and what precautions should I take?

Hello,
Bromhidrosis (axillary odor) is a hereditary condition that typically requires surgical intervention, with generally favorable postoperative outcomes. Surgery for bromhidrosis can only be performed after the patient reaches 18 years of age. Following surgery, it is essential to keep the wound clean and dry—avoid contact with water temporarily. Maintain a light, low-fat diet, and ensure the axillary area remains dry and well-ventilated; choose breathable clothing. After successful surgery, the current embarrassment is usually resolved.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
