Patient's question:
I have a bad smell when I sweat under my left armpit. It has been like this for three years. The smell is not very strong, but I don't want to smell it. In summer, when I sweat heavily, there are light yellow crystals, which are very difficult to clean off.What kind of help do I need: What should I do if I accidentally get bromhidrosis?
Doctor's answer:
Body odor is hereditary and typically becomes noticeable around the age of 13. If you've just recently noticed it, it's likely not body odor but rather sweat. Body odor can also be treated through surgical procedures. Maintain a regular lifestyle, balance work and rest, engage in sufficient physical activity, and avoid overwork. Eat less spicy and irritating foods, consume more protein-rich foods, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Reduce fat and sugar intake, avoid alcohol, and maintain a balanced diet. Avoid excessive stress and stay in a good mood.
