Bromhidrosis

Description

Bromhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by persistently unpleasant body odor caused by the breakdown of sweat by skin bacteria, most commonly affecting the underarms but sometimes involving the feet or groin. The condition is typically associated with apocrine sweat glands, which produce a thicker secretion that bacteria readily metabolize into odor-causing compounds. While bromhidrosis is not medically dangerous, it can have a significant psychological and social impact, leading many patients to seek medical treatment after topical antiperspirants and hygiene measures prove insufficient. Medical treatment for bromhidrosis focuses on reducing sweat production or eliminating the glands responsible for odor. Depending on severity, options may include prescription-strength antiperspirants, oral or topical antibiotics, botulinum toxin injections to suppress sweat gland activity, or minimally invasive procedures such as laser therapy or microwave-based sweat gland destruction. In more severe or persistent cases, surgical removal or curettage of apocrine glands may be recommended. These procedures are generally well tolerated and can provide long-term improvement in odor, significantly improving quality of life when conservative treatments have failed.
