What should I do if three parts of my body have a strong sweat odor?

Generally speaking, whether it is hot summer or cold winter, for people who sweat a lot, the three parts (hair, armpits, and feet) secrete the most sweat. If you don't deal with it in time, you may emit a "strong" sweat odor. So, how can you deal with the sweat odor?

Hair:

1. Wrap your hair with a hot towel before washing it to fully open the pores on your scalp. Then massage your scalp with your fingertips to thoroughly remove the oil in the pores. Use a weakly acidic (pH value between 5.5 and 6.5) shampoo to reduce adsorption and make your hair smoother and more lustrous.

2. Drink more chrysanthemum tea with mint or rock sugar, and use the tea to wash your hair, which will help your hair become more refreshed.

3. Carry a comb with you. When you feel your hair has an odor, comb it to promote blood circulation in the scalp. This method can help remove the odor of healthy hair and is good for your health.

Underarms:

1. Shave your armpit hair in the summer to reduce the chance of bacterial growth and reduce the generation of odor.

2. Choose an antiperspirant and body product that’s right for you, such as a combination of antiperspirant and body deodorant.

3. Use some skin care products with added ingredients such as citric acid to moisturize the skin and adjust the pH value of the skin.

4. Apply 3%~5% formalin once a day. It can coagulate local skin protein, thereby destroying the opening of the hair follicle sweat glands and reducing sweat secretion and excretion. It is suitable for patients with mild sweat odor.

5. If examination shows that you have severe body odor, you can go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment.

Feet:

1. Soak your feet in warm water at about 45°C for 15 minutes every night before going to bed. Soaking your feet in tea water can also remove foot odor, because tea is cool and can absorb sweat. Adding black vinegar or naturally brewed vinegar to the foot bath can better promote foot metabolism.

2. Before going out, soak your feet in water with peppermint or lemon essential oil for 5 minutes to keep them refreshed all day long.

3. Perform foot exfoliation twice a week.
