The occurrence of axillary odor is related to race, climate change, genetics and other factors, often with a family history. Pathogenesis: 1. When there is a lot of fluid and cannot be washed in time, the bacteria on the skin surface can break down the keratin layer impregnated with sweat, thus emitting odor; 2. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands (parietal sweat glands) can be decomposed by bacteria to produce low-chain fatty acids and ammonia and other substances with a strong odor; 3. Bacteria play an important role in the pathogenesis. Axillary odor brings great inconvenience and heavy psychological burden to the patients’ life, study and social activities.
