I have a slight body odor. What can I do to cure it?

Body odor means that the sweat secreted has a special smell or the sweat decomposes to produce a smell. Body odor is a hereditary disease, which mostly occurs in adolescence and is influenced by emotions and hormones. Generally speaking, it is mostly related to sweat glands on the body. The scientific name of smelly sweat refers to the sweat with special smell excreted by human body. Most of them are hereditary, mainly occurring in armpit, sole and perineum. Sweat discharged from the apocrine gland under the armpit of the patient is decomposed by bacteria on the skin surface, mainly staphylococci, which produce unsaturated fatty acids and stink. Body odor is not contagious, but it is hereditary. According to the survey, 80% of people whose parents are dead will inherit it. If only one parent has body odor, the genetic probability is 50%. Body odor can be cured. Generally, surgery or medication is used. If you need surgery, it is safer to go to a regular big hospital. Surgery is generally not recommended. The recurrence rate is relatively high, and the operation risk is very high, and the price is also very high, generally more than 10 thousand. If the recovery is not good, it will leave a scar. Most patients are treated with drugs, which is safe and reliable.

Generally, drugs for treating body odor can be roughly divided into the following categories.

1, drugs to inhibit perspiration: organic substances such as fatty acids should be excreted through perspiration. Reducing perspiration with drugs can reduce the discharge of fatty acids and achieve the purpose of reducing body odor. This method is suitable for short-term deodorization. After stopping the drug, the perspiration function under the armpit will be restored, and the body odor will appear again. During the medication, the normal perspiration under the armpit is blocked, and there will be discomfort.

2. Cover up the smell of drugs with incense, and cover up the smell with perfume spray: In short, it is "covering up the smell with incense", which mainly extracts perfume components from flowers or other plants, sprays them under the armpits, and covers up the sweat smell with fragrance. This method can only cover up the odor and can't achieve the therapeutic effect. It is only suitable for mild patients and can relieve body odor when going out.

3. Sterilizing and deodorizing drugs: Body odor is formed because the secreted protein and fatty acids are fermented by bacteria to produce peculiar smell. Applying antiseptic drugs under the armpit, killing bacteria causing odor and keeping the armpit clean can avoid body odor. This is also a short-term deodorization method. After stopping the drug, the bacteria proliferate in large numbers, and the odor is inevitable. In addition, long-term use of fungicides will make bacteria resistant, which is not good for human health.

The best way to treat body odor is to choose traditional Chinese medicine or drugs extracted from pure plants to remove body odor from the source, which is not easy to recur. It is the first choice for most patients.
