What are the methods for treating bromhidrosis?

The treatment of bromhidrosis is as follows:

1. Surgical treatment: At present, minimally invasive axillary osmidrosis removal with small incision is highly recommended, that is, a 2-3 cm surgical incision can be made at the axillary fold to remove visible hair follicles and accompanying apocrine glands, and at the same time, the growth of hair follicles can be reduced during the treatment of axillary osmidrosis, resulting in the effect of hair removal, which can achieve the treatment effect of killing two birds with one stone;

2. Non-surgical treatment: mainly including botulinum toxin injection and laser treatment. Botulinum toxin injection is based on inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from nerve joints and nerve endings, thus reducing the structure and secretion activity of sweat glands and achieving the effect of reducing taste. However, this treatment is not lasting, and it needs to be injected again after 4-6 months to maintain the curative effect. Laser therapy can reduce sweat secretion by destroying the structure of apocrine gland by laser, and can also achieve therapeutic effect. However, laser may recur, and it also increases some difficulties for the treatment and repair of reoperation after laser treatment.
