How to treat body odor

summary

I have body odor for nearly a year, not too serious, but when sweating more, there will be some taste, bilateral, scar constitution, now the disease has a certain control, for how to treat the problem of body odor, let me tell you.

How to treat body odor

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

Body odor is caused by the excessive gap between human apocrine myoepithelial cells, which makes lipid and other macromolecules pass through the apocrine glands, and is decomposed by bacteria on the surface of the skin. Therefore, the secretion of sweat gland and the bacteria on the surface of skin are two necessary conditions for the formation of body odor.
