My armpit has a strange smell when it's hot, especially after exercise. The doctor said it's axillary osmidrosis and has given targeted treatment. Now it's much better. In order to avoid this situation, let's talk about how to treat axillary osmidrosis.

How to treat bromhidrosis

First: electrolysis or electric cauterization treatment: the metal needle is inserted into the hair follicle along the growth direction of the hair, and the heat effect is applied to damage the hair follicle, thus destroying the apocrine sweat gland to achieve the purpose of treatment. This method has the advantages of simple, less damage and relatively cheap equipment, but it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not easy to grasp the depth after penetrating into the skin, so it is easy to have poor treatment effect.

Second: microcalorization and radiofrequency therapy: mainly use the thermal effect to damage hair follicles, targeting the dense area of axillary hair. However, microwave is not as targeted as electrocautery and electrolysis, and it also causes great damage around the hair follicle. Some patients will have severe local inflammatory reaction during treatment.

Third: laser therapy: laser therapy is a general term, because there are many kinds of laser therapy, and new technologies emerge in endlessly. Among them, CO2 laser is a thermal effect laser, which has great side effects in the treatment of axillary osmidrosis; the theoretical basis of hair removal laser in the treatment of axillary osmidrosis is that the apocrine sweat glands and hair follicles form a unit together, and when the hair follicles are selectively destroyed by laser, the apocrine sweat glands will also be destroyed. Because of this, this method is not complete in the treatment of axillary osmidrosis.

matters needing attention

Warm reminder: avoid food with pungent smell. Such as onion, garlic, spicy food contains a certain amount of sulfur, after being absorbed by the human body, the odor will be discharged with sweat, so these foods should be eaten as little as possible or not.
