Patient's question:
My child inherited his father's body odor, but how should it be treated? What methods can eliminate it?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be due to sweating or body odor. You can provide personal hygiene care for them, bathe them daily, and wait and see. The symptoms should gradually improve with proper attention to rest and avoiding staying up late. Body odor is caused by the insufficient breakdown of unsaturated fatty acids due to the overactive sweat glands in the armpits. Body odor has a certain genetic predisposition. It is recommended to investigate the genetic and family history. Sweat glands can be removed through minimally invasive surgery.
