The weather is getting hot, are you still worried about armpit odor? Don’t dare to wear sleeveless clothes? Don’t dare to raise your arms? Don’t like to take the bus or subway? Don’t like people’s strange expressions? Armpit odor is hereditary Most of the patients with armpit odor are inherited from their families, and if the parents have armpit odor, the children will have a higher rate. There is a large sweat gland under the armpit, except for heredity, generally there is no lesion or bacterial growth in the armpit tissue, so no matter how sweating, the fatty acids discharged are normal, so there is no smell. For people who suffer from fox, the sweat glands in the armpits secrete some special fatty acids, which are decomposed by bacteria on the surface of the skin and produce unsaturated fatty acids with a special smell, which is the origin of the odor of armpit odor. What are the dangers of armpit odor Armpit odor is a special smell emitted from the armpits, the smell is similar to the smell of fox secretion, so often also known as fox odor. Patients with axillary odor do not have obvious physical activity disorders, but because the smell of their armpits gives a very unpleasant feeling, often causing people around them to avoid and bring a lot of psychological pressure on the patient, affecting their social activities. Non-invasive treatment: Botulinum toxin injection Botulinum toxin is very effective in inhibiting the secretion of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine by nerve cells. Our body’s sweat gland secretion is controlled by sympathetic nerves that use acetylcholine as a conductive medium. Many patients do not sweat when the sympathetic nerves are not excited, such as when they are sleeping, resting, or relaxing. When they exercise or are stressed (sympathetic excitement), they sweat. Therefore, Botox can inhibit the excitability of the sympathetic nerve that governs and promotes the secretion of sweat from the sweat glands, so local injection of Botox in the armpits can achieve a good anti-sweating effect, and the underarm odor will also produce odor because there is no sweating and the bacteria no longer decompose, thus achieving the effect of odor removal. This treatment is suitable for young and unmarried patients who do not want to leave scars, patients who sweat a lot in the armpits, patients who have bad odor when they sweat, and patients with hyperhidrosis. The effect is seen in about 5-6 days after injection and stays for about six months. Minimally invasive surgical treatment Minimally invasive axillary odor surgery using small incisions can achieve both radical and aesthetic results. The surgery enters under the skin through a small incision, directly removes the subcutaneous sweat gland tissue in the axilla, uses imported sutures, and the scar is hidden in the position of the axillary striae, with inconspicuous scars and lasting results after surgery.
