    It is generally not normal for men to have body odor. The cause of body odor in men may be strong secretion of apocrine sweat glands in the armpits. It cannot be ruled out that it is caused by genetic factors.

    Body odor will cause the armpits to emit an unpleasant odor, especially in summer. You can cooperate with the doctor for active treatment. First, you need to keep the local area clean and hygienic. Using fractional laser method, the photothermal effect can inhibit the secretion of apocrine sweat glands and reduce the smell of body odor. If the degree of body odor is serious, you can go to a regular hospital to surgically remove the local apocrine glands, which can generally achieve a complete cure.

    After surgery, you need to keep the area clean and hygienic, and apply anti-inflammatory water regularly to prevent infection.
