The current etiology and pathogenesis of body odor are not clear, and it is generally believed that the production of odor is closely related to the parietal sweat glands (i.e., sweat glands) in the armpit area. In addition, with heredity, follicular hyperplasia and hypertrophy, bad habits and other factors, also has a certain relationship.
1. Parietal sweat glands: Normally, the secretion from the parietal sweat glands has no odor, but the colonized bacteria on the skin surface of the armpits can interact with the secretion, which has no odor, to produce unsaturated fatty acids and ammonia, resulting in an unpleasant and pungent odor.
2. Heredity: some people have a family history of fox odor, such as parents with fox odor, then the probability of children suffering from fox odor will be greater.
3. Hair follicle hyperplasia and hypertrophy: If you often shave the armpit hair, or often use topical drugs to stimulate the hair follicles, it will lead to hair follicle hyperplasia and hypertrophy, which will cause the sweat glands to increase the secretion of sweat, and the sweat is easy to come into contact with the bacteria, which will produce the bad smell.
4. bad habits: often wear some tight clothes, or not timely cleaning after exercise sweat, etc., are easy to induce or aggravate the fox odor.
It is recommended that patients suffering from bad breath, if necessary, can go to the regular hospital dermatology consultation, reasonable treatment.
