Bromhidrosis recommendations to see dermatology. Underarm odor is caused by the secretion of apocrine glands containing organic substances. The bacteria in the armpit decompose these organic substances, thus producing unsaturated fatty acids and ammonia, causing armpit odor. Since apocrine glands are appendages of the skin, when showing underarm odor, you should go to a dermatologist. When the symptoms of body odor are mild, external antibacterial agents can be used under the guidance of a doctor. After inhibiting the growth of bacteria, bacteria can no longer secrete organic substances in sweat, so as to achieve the effect of deodorizing. Similarly, antiperspirants can be used to inhibit the growth of sweat. When the symptoms of body odor are severe, botulinum toxin type A can also be injected under the armpit to control the secretion of sweat glands to achieve the effect of deodorizing.
