As the saying goes: “a bad smell can not be washed, since ancient times it is difficult to cure the armpit stink” This reflects the past people with pessimistic thoughts expressed for the pain of armpit odor, armpit odor is commonly known as “fox stink”. It is mainly by the secretion of sweat glands with a kind of unsaturated fatty acids by the bacterial decomposition of the skin surface emitted a special smell, although it is not a disease, but smell but to die, there are often people to avoid the armpit odor, in life, learning, love, military, employment and other aspects of a great blow, so that the patient’s self-esteem suffered serious injury. No matter what people, in the case of a lot of sweat, if not bathing or changing clothes, their armpits more or less smell, that is, usually normal people for various reasons may also suddenly have bad odor. At present, most people with armpit odor come from heredity. Medically speaking, armpit odor is a common disease like colds and headaches, so there is no need to be shy, and you should go to your doctor openly to consult and receive treatment. Living in today’s era of “no odor”, self-perception of odor or suspicion of body odor, will become a mental pressure. The stronger the social rejection of body odor, the greater the mental stress. Increased mental stress and continued tension will lead to increased levels of armpit odor. Not only is the body odor more serious; the color dyed on the shirt is not easy to wash off, and the corrosive effect of sweat stains will also affect the life of the clothes, economic losses not to mention the impact on work, study and life. In order to return to the patient’s confidence in life, we must say goodbye to armpit odor, at present, there are a variety of treatment methods for armpit odor, although there is no perfect method, but some methods do have a positive effect. The following are introduced. 1, drug treatment: after external application or application of drugs, can inhibit the secretion of sweat glands and reduce bacterial infection. For lighter cases, it has some effect, but it cannot be cured. Antiperspirant, deodorant, although to the armpit odor is mild or unwilling to open people to provide a convenient choice, but the composition of the deodorant is mainly some synthetic fragrances, its role is to press through the armpit odor, one is easy to cause skin allergies, the second aroma plus odor, the taste is more intense and unpleasant. Antiperspirant irritation is very strong, some people will also be allergic, the skin is red and itchy, and even lead to contact dermatitis, long-term use will also make the local skin thickening. 2, laser treatment: rely on the cauterizing effect to destroy the sweat glands, thereby reducing secretion. However, in practice, it is sometimes difficult to grasp the depth, too shallow is not easy to destroy the sweat glands, the effect is not good, too deep although the sweat glands may be destroyed, but easy to leave shallow scar, the formation of flaky visible traces. 3, electrocautery: the use of electrocautery needles into the hair follicles, destruction of nearby sweat glands, sweat glands, etc., not worry about scars or side effects, but easier to recur, the effect is not very sure. Generally used for the treatment of individual sweat glands that recur after scraping or stripping surgery. 4, axillary odor scraping and suction: one of the surgical methods. A small incision of a few millimeters is made in the armpit, and a scraping spoon or suction tip is inserted into the subdermal sweat gland level for scraping and sucking, which has a certain destructive effect on the sweat glands, but there is a certain blindness and a certain recurrence rate. The surgery is not very traumatic and requires pressure bandaging for 5-7 days after surgery. 5, axillary deodorant sweat gland stripping surgery: a new procedure carried out in recent years, which is characterized by highly selective removal of sweat glands, complete removal, low recurrence rate, can remove a large area of sweat glands at once. The scar left after surgery is not obvious. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and the skin is incised in the direction of the skin line in the middle of the axilla (so that the postoperative scar is not obvious), carefully peeled away to both sides, and then the sweat gland tissue is carefully removed. After surgery, the skin is fixed with pressure for 7-10 days, and then the stitches are removed. Since the surface skin tissue is not removed, the tension of the incision is low, and the chances of postoperative incision cracking and scar growth are both small and easily accepted by patients. Our department is experienced in using this procedure with minimal complications and the results are similar to those of traditional sweat gland removal. However, children before puberty are not suitable to receive the above scraping or stripping, because the development of sweat glands before puberty is not yet complete, even after scraping or stripping, it is possible to grow again in the next year, and the axillary odor problem will be committed again. 6, axillary odor excision: the traditional surgical method. Its effect is certain and can be cured. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia, the skin and subcutaneous tissue containing sweat glands are removed, and then sutured. After the operation, oral antibacterial agents are taken, and the upper arm is avoided in abduction activities. The stitches are removed 10-14 days after surgery, leaving a linear scar. If the extent of the sweat glands is large, multiple procedures are required, otherwise the postoperative scar may be wider. Complications may include: infection, wound dehiscence, and wide postoperative scar. Pre-operative preparation and post-operative care for axillary sniffing Pre-operative requirements: the general timing of surgery selection is after the age of 13 to 15 years of puberty, there are no special requirements for the season now. Good general body condition, bathing one day before surgery, women avoid menstrual period. Postoperative: prepare open-chest, loose, passable clothes to wear after surgery. Routine use of antibiotics for 3 to 5 days, braking for 7 to 10 days, postoperative drug changes every 3 days, 10 days to remove the stitches.
