Patient's question:
I feel like I've had body odor since I was a child, and this should be due to intergenerational inheritance, as my mother also has body odor. I might have it too when I get older. I've tried some treatments before, applied some medications, taken some regulating medications, and even had surgery, but none of them have been stable. I'd like to ask how to treat body odor.Doctor's answer:
Axillary hyperhidrosis is partly hereditary and can affect people's social interactions and quality of life. It may lead to a sense of inferiority when interacting with others. Currently, the most effective treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis is surgical intervention, primarily involving the excision of sweat glands in the armpit. Although this method involves larger incisions, it has a relatively high success rate. There are several ways to treat axillary hyperhidrosis available on the market. However, their effectiveness is often not ideal, and they should be approached with caution.
