There is a slight smell under the armpits

Most people will find that their armpits have a slight odor when the weather is hot, but the odor is not very serious, so they should receive relevant treatment during this period. Chinese herbal medicine can be used for treatment. As long as it is applied to the armpits, armpit odor will not occur again. However, some more serious patients require a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment.

Process: Apply Chinese medicine to the armpits, such as Hanmei Huxiu Powder, to achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause through external treatment of internal diseases.

Advantages: safe and reliable, no toxic side effects, easy to treat the symptoms and root causes, no impact on life and study.

Suitable for people: patients with various degrees of body odor who are determined to cure and can adhere to daily medication.

Western medicine treatment method for body odor

The basic principle of treatment is to keep the area clean and remove secretions to reduce bacterial growth; local use of antiperspirants and fragrances, regular scrubbing and application of medicine can temporarily relieve body odor. Permanent removal of the odor may require surgery.

The commonly used surgical treatment method is to remove the axillary apocrine glands. During the operation, one to two incisions of several centimeters are made on both sides of the armpits, and the sweat glands are directly removed. The wounds are then sutured. However, this method has the disadvantages of large wounds, obvious scars, and long recovery time.

In recent years, with the use of thoracoscopic sympathetic nerve surgery, more than 95% of patients have stopped sweating under their armpits, and the odor they had in the past has been significantly improved. Because thoracoscopic surgery is less invasive to the human body and the recovery time is very fast, it has gradually replaced the trend of traditional surgery.

If the armpits have body odor even without sweating, and thoracoscopic sympathetic nerve surgery is not effective, it is recommended that you seek help from a plastic surgeon or general surgeon for traditional body odor surgery to remove the armpit apocrine glands.

Another new option - Currently, some hospitals have made progress in the technology of removing the apocrine glands under the armpits. They use techniques such as subcutaneous liposuction to scrape the apocrine glands under the armpits with an electric rotary scraper. The wound from this operation can be only about one centimeter. However, the wound care and recovery time are still long. The cost of electric rotary scraper armpit surgery is about 10,000 yuan.

However, due to the variation of the distribution of the axillary sympathetic nerves in some people and the limitation of the surgical site, the success rate of axillary hyperhidrosis surgery is
