Underarm odor in children may be caused by physiological factors and pathological factors (such as bad breath and excessive sebaceous gland secretion). Usually, we can follow the doctor’s instructions for general treatment, medication, laser, surgical treatment and so on.
1. Physiological factors: children’s daily life is not clean, especially after sweating without timely bathing, it will lead to the symptoms of underarm odor. This situation leads to underarm odor, should pay attention to clean, in addition to pay attention to drink more water, but also pay attention to intimate clothing as much as possible to wear cotton, breathable clothes, help children with underarm odor elimination.
2. Pathological factors:
(1) Fox odor: children’s local sweat gland secretions increase, and then by the bacterial decomposition, produce a pungent special smell to form the fox odor, so the children’s underarm odor. You can use 20% aluminum chloride anhydrous ethanol solution for treatment, but also through local injection of botulinum toxin or laser to destroy the sweat glands in the armpit, so as to eliminate the symptoms of children’s underarm odor.
(2) Excessive sebaceous gland secretion: Because the sebaceous glands in the armpits secrete too exuberantly, too much sweat is excreted and accumulates in the armpits, and thus children’s armpits have bad odor. You can use isotretinoin cream as prescribed by the doctor for treatment, which can inhibit the activity of sebaceous glands, reduce sebum secretion, and reduce the accumulation of sweat in the armpits, thus eliminating the symptoms of children’s underarm odor.
If a child’s underarm odor, after excluding physiological factors, parents are advised to take their children to the hospital in a timely manner to identify the cause of the disease and then targeted treatment. The above medication should be used in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, do not self-medication.
