Shaving armpit hair does not cause fox odor. Fox odor is caused by a large gap between the cells in the walls of the sweat glands, and a large amount of proteins and other macromolecules are discharged from the body with the sweat, which reacts with bacteria to produce the odor. The shaving of the armpit hair only temporarily removes the hair from the epidermis of the armpit, without destroying the hair follicles, and does not affect the sweat glands. In addition, from another point of view, after the reduction of hair is easy to become clean, microorganisms will be reduced, which may help to reduce the symptoms of armpit odor. If you feel the smell of fox after shaving your armpits, you may have damaged the hair follicles while shaving, which leads to bacterial or fungal infection of the armpit skin, which in turn produces odor. However, this is not fox odor and the patient can be treated with antibiotics or antifungal creams under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, patients are advised to disinfect the blade and apply some moisturizer to the skin before shaving the armpit hair to avoid scratching the skin and causing infection. Patients can also use laser hair removal to solve the problem. In daily life, patients with armpit odor are advised to avoid strenuous exercise and eat as little oily and spicy food as possible to avoid increasing sweating and aggravating the odor.
