How is body odor caused

The first cause is that apocrine sweat glands only exist in armpit, areola, umbilicus, anus, vulva and external auditory canal. Except armpit, the function of apocrine sweat glands in other parts is very weak and the sweat produced is very little. The sweat secreted by apocrine sweat gland is initially sterile. Under the action of microorganisms, it decomposes the organic matter in the sweat and forms short chain fatty acids and ammonia with special odor, which leads to the occurrence of apocrine sweat gland hidrosis.

The second cause is that it often occurs in palmoplantar and interosseous area. Sweat is often colorless and tasteless. However, in the case of hyperhidrosis, sweat is decomposed by parasitic bacteria on the surface of the skin to release fatty acids, resulting in a special odor. Other substances such as garlic and arsenic can be excreted through sweat glands to cause odor.

Third, in daily life, excessive emotional fluctuations or suffering from schizophrenia can lead to the appearance of body odor, and body odor is a disease with certain genetic factors.
