Does erythromycin ointment treat body odor?

Body odor refers to armpit smelly sweat. Erythromycin ointment can not treat armpit smelly sweat.

Erythromycin ointment is mainly antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, used to treat some skin diseases caused by bacterial infections, such as impetigo. Axillary smelly sweat is mainly caused by sweat secreted by axillary apocrine glands. Erythromycin ointment can not change the structure and function of apocrine glands, and can not fundamentally solve the problem of abnormal sweat secretion. Although armpit smelly sweat disease may be accompanied by local inflammation, but the use of erythromycin ointment alone to deal with inflammation, but also symptomatic treatment, and can not eliminate armpit smelly sweat disease itself.
