Experiencing recurring underarm odor? Let us help you understand the causes and solutions for underarm odor.

Body odor, commonly known as bromhidrosis, troubles many people. The secretions from the apocrine sweat glands in the armpits themselves have no odor, but when these secretions are broken down by bacteria on the skin's surface, they produce a volatile odor. The odor becomes more pronounced in hot weather, during exercise and sweating, or when experiencing emotional stress, often causing psychological pressure in social situations.

Many people are accustomed to using antiperspirants and deodorants to cover up odors. However, these methods only temporarily mask the odor and cannot address the root cause of the problem of apocrine gland secretion. The severity of underarm odor varies from person to person, requiring a professional assessment to determine the level of excessive sweating and odor before selecting a suitable treatment plan.
Mild axillary osmidrosis can be improved through daily care and topical medication; moderate to severe axillary osmidrosis can be assessed for the feasibility of interventions such as injections and minimally invasive procedures.
