Axillary odor is a common sweat gland disease in young people, is an unpleasant armpit emits a special odor similar to the fox, so commonly known as fox odor. Young people are in the period of frequent social activities and love, often because of this annoying stench and repeatedly frustrated. Summer sweating more, thin clothing, the odor is more obvious, so that people around the reluctance to approach, and even smell and fear, far from avoiding. How can this not make patients feel embarrassed and distressed, and how not to patients and their families psychologically bring depression and worry? How does armpit odor come about? Why is there fox smell? Armpit odor is a skin disease in which the sweat glands produce too much. People have about millions of sweat glands, according to the nature of their secretion can be divided into two kinds: one is small sweat glands, almost all over the body, generally in the palms of the hands, soles, forehead most, its direct opening in the skin surface of the sweat hole, discharge clear sweat; the other is the sweat glands, only in the armpits, umbilicus and perineum, the glands open in the hair follicle. The secretion of the sweat glands is influenced by the gonads. Before puberty, because the sweat glands are not mature, no secretion function, no fox odor will occur. By puberty, the gonads secrete a lot and the sweat glands secrete more, and their odor also clearly appears stinky. In fact, many patients sweat itself does not smell bad, but contains substances that are easily decomposed by bacteria, because the skin of the armpit is warm and humid, poor ventilation, there are often a large number of bacteria breeding, when the sweat of the sweat gland excreted to the surface of the skin, by the decomposition of these bacteria, thus emitting an unpleasant odor. According to statistics, the disease is mostly apparently hereditary, and its mode of inheritance is dominant. There are many reasons for the formation of fox odor: the body surface gland secretions of young men and women are higher than those of other people, especially those with oily skin, and the body odor is much stronger than the average person. In addition, women’s body surface secretion glands than men more than 50%, these glands are concentrated in the breasts, armpits, anus and around the navel, puberty development is vigorous, and in the mental factors, hormone levels, environmental climate and other factors under the regulation of the secretion of some glands. The secretion of these glands often makes certain parts of a woman’s body form a moist and warm environment, which becomes a “culture medium” for bacteria, prompting the growth and decomposition of bacteria, resulting in body odor. Personal hygiene and body odor also has a close relationship, poor hygiene habits often lead to body odor. The human body has many places that are not conducive to cleanliness, such as under the breasts, groin, armpits, umbilicus and other places where there are many folds, and more secretions than other parts. Many young men and women like to wear tight clothes, jeans, etc., resulting in skin and clothing close together, preventing the volatilization of secretion, so that these local temperature and humidity, some bacteria will breed here, decomposition, and produce a special odor. Surgical treatment principle: From the physiological anatomy, the sweat glands are located in the deep skin and fat layer, sweat ducts open in the upper third of the hair follicle, a few directly on the skin surface. Therefore, axillary odor surgery is the surgical destruction of human sweat glands or cut off; sweat ducts, thus preventing the discharge of sweat, to fundamentally achieve the purpose of getting rid of sweat odor. 1, traditional axillary sweat gland excision: Advantages: almost the top pulp gland can be completely removed, the postoperative deodorant effect is good. Disadvantages: longer recovery period, the surgery caused by the scar is more obvious, there will be a 4 to 5 centimeters long, about 0.5 centimeters wide scar. 2.Underarm sweat gland aspiration and scraping surgery uses a special etched suction tube or electric suction tube to remove the top pulp gland under the skin, about 90% of the improvement effect can be achieved, so that fox odor is reduced to the extent that it seems to be absent. Advantages: quick recovery and inconspicuous scars. Disadvantages: the deodorant effect may not be 100%. 3, endoscopic intrathoracic sympathetic nerve ablation: advantages: can make hand sweat and fox odor problems solved at the same time, the scar is also not obvious. Disadvantages: half of the patients will produce compensatory sweating after surgery, that is, when the day is hot, the lower body or back and abdomen may sweat like rain, and the effect of removing fox odor is slightly worse than the first two. 4, minimally invasive removal of axillary odor (my commonly used method): the procedure requires an incision of only 2.5-3cm, separating the skin from the subcutaneous tissue, then scraping the fatty tissue with a scraper and spatula, destroying the hair follicles and sweat glands, and finally suturing, drainage, pressure bandaging, and removal of stitches in 7 days. The key is to scrape the fat globules cleanly and thoroughly to ensure the results, and to compress the blood after surgery to prevent subcutaneous edema. Simple method: Minor fox odor does not need to scrub the whole body all day, but need to maintain the hygiene of the armpits. If you have to take a shower every day, and the underwear in contact with your body should be cleaned especially. 1, the external application of drugs: external application of drugs is mainly anti-sweat, antibacterial and maintain the function of labor fragrance, generally can not completely destroy the sweat glands, so only slow angle symptoms, can not be completely eradicated. 2, machine cautery method: commonly used laser, high-frequency electroacupuncture, in addition to armpit odor machine. Cautery method can destroy the hair follicles and sweat glands and achieve the purpose of treatment, and easy to operate, fast recovery, no scar, high safety, but often incomplete treatment; 3, the drug local injection method: injection method can use the pharmacological properties of drugs to make subcutaneous tissue fibrosis, protein denaturation, so that the sweat glands atrophy and duct occlusion, so as to inhibit the secretion of sweat glands, to achieve therapeutic effect, it is injection method is not well mastered will cause deep Injections can cause deep nerve and blood vessel damage or skin necrosis.
