Armpit malodor, commonly known as fox odor, is a peculiarly unpleasant odor emanating from the secretions of the sweat glands distributed in the armpits. Although it is not a serious disease and does not affect your health, many young people often carry a heavy mental burden and develop low self-esteem because of its unpleasant odor. The traditional treatment is surgery to remove the sweat glands in the armpits. Surgical treatment of armpit odor is briefly introduced. 1.Traditional Surgery: Surgery to remove the parietal glands is the way to say goodbye to bad odor completely. The common surgical method is to make one or two cuts in the armpit where the armpit hair grows, remove the parietal gland located in the subcutaneous tissue, and then suture the skin.

This method is improved on the basis of scraping method, applying the suction head of the armpit of liposuction machine to suck out the sweat glands and part of the subcutaneous tissues of the armpit, with short operation time, little pain, no obvious scars after the operation, and little impact on the work. 4, high-frequency electrocoagulation cosmetic therapeutic instrument can also treat armpit odor, it is through the electro-acupuncture, under the action of instantaneous high-frequency electricity, so that the sweat gland coagulation, carbonization. However, some patients have incomplete coagulation of sweat glands and can be left with odor. The same applies to the laser method. After electrocoagulation and laser treatment, if it is not complete, suction and scraping method can also be used. All of these methods are surgical treatments.
