How to prevent body odor that makes people consciously stay away from it

Speaking of body odor, it is really a headache, especially in summer. When the weather is hot, people will inevitably sweat. Once you sweat, the smell on your body will often make people afraid to approach you. Not to mention the embarrassment, it really makes it difficult to do many things. So how to prevent body odor?

1. Choose the right clothes

The temperature is high in summer. For female patients with underarm odor, it is best not to choose silk, tight clothes, denim clothes, etc., which will cause the skin to stick to the clothes, prevent the evaporation of secretions, and become a culture medium for bacteria, prompting some bacteria to grow and decompose, and produce a special odor. It is best to choose loose cotton clothes.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Pay attention to hygiene, wash the affected area with soap frequently, take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, and keep the skin dry. Keep the skin clean. Especially keep the armpits, perineum, breasts and other parts clean, wash with soapy water every day. Especially after exercise, take a bath, clean the skin, change underwear frequently, and reduce bacterial reproduction.

3. Reduce irritation to the underarm skin

Frequent shaving or plucking of armpit hair can cause hair follicle hyperplasia and hypertrophy. If the apocrine glands are hypertrophic, excessive sweat secretion and increased lipid exudation can occur. The armpits are warm and moist, and airtight, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Excessive decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids will cause more obvious odor.

4. Topical medication

Topical medications can inhibit sweating and stop sweating, preventing the sweat glands from producing enough unsaturated fatty acids or preventing bacteria from growing, and can only temporarily prevent odor. You can also apply 25% aluminum chloride solution, 5% formaldehyde alcohol, armpit odor powder or alum powder frequently.
