In Shanghai, there are several methods to treat body odor (bromhidrosis).
One common way is through surgical treatment. The minimally - invasive surgery can remove the sweat glands that cause the odor. This method usually has a relatively high success rate in reducing the smell.
Another approach is the use of botulinum toxin A injections. It can temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate sweating, thereby reducing sweat production and the associated odor. The effect can last for several months.
Topical medications are also available. There are some antiperspirant creams and lotions that contain antibacterial agents and substances to reduce sweating. They can be applied to the armpits or other affected areas to help control the body odor.
