What to do if your child has underarm odor

When children reach puberty, it is found that there is axillary odor under the armpits, which is just like body odor and is really annoying. It is not uncommon to have underarm odor, and it occurs in both men and women. Moreover, if a child has body odor, he or she will become inferior and unwilling to interact with others. The reason for underarm odor is that the sweat glands are too developed. People with underdeveloped sweat glands will not have the trouble of body odor. So, let me teach you how to solve the problem of underarm odor.

Methods/Steps

The apocrine sweat glands in the armpits secrete some organic substances, which are decomposed by bacteria to produce unsaturated fatty acids, causing unpleasant odors. During puberty, the apocrine glands secrete vigorously under the influence of the endocrine glands, so it often occurs during puberty, more common in women than in men. It is more obvious in women during their menstrual period and is often hereditary, with similar patients often running in families.

If your armpits have an odor, it is likely that it is axillary odor. To reduce or eliminate axillary odor, it is best to exercise less, eat less irritating food, maintain a regular life, and keep your emotions stable. Eat more vegetables, fruits and wear loose clothing. You should also pay attention to personal hygiene, take more showers, change underwear frequently, and keep your armpits dry and clean.

You should also avoid eating irritating foods, such as onions, garlic and spicy foods, which contain sulfur chemicals that can interfere with bacterial growth. However, after they are absorbed by the human body, the odor will be excreted through the sweat glands, so it is better to eat less.

The methods mentioned above can generally eliminate body odor. If they cannot help solve the problem, it is best to go to the hospital to remove some sweat glands so that you will no longer be troubled by the odor. Removing sweat glands is just a minor surgery, don't worry, the success rate is 100%. Moreover, this method can solve the problem once and for all, and you no longer have to worry about the embarrassment caused by body odor in the future.
