Iodophor for treating body odor

Iodophor can reduce the symptoms of body odor to some extent, but it can not cure body odor. Iodophor has the effect of disinfection and sterilization. It can reduce the breeding of armpit bacteria, thus reducing the odor of body odor in the short term. Because the production of body odor is related to the decomposition of organic substances in sweat by armpit bacteria, it can control odor to a certain extent by inhibiting bacterial reproduction. However, iodophor can not fundamentally solve the problem of body odor. Body odor is mainly caused by abnormal secretion of apocrine glands under the armpit. It can not change the structure and function of apocrine glands only by disinfection of iodophor. Long-term use of iodophor may cause some adverse reactions. For example, it may lead to skin irritation and allergy, especially for some people with sensitive skin. To completely cure body odor, usually need to take more professional treatment methods. Such as surgery to remove apocrine glands, laser treatment, etc., these methods can solve the problem of apocrine gland abnormal secretion from the root. Iodophor can be used as an auxiliary treatment for body odor, but it can not be completely relied on to solve the problem of body odor. If you want to get rid of body odor completely, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor and choose the appropriate treatment plan.
