About rebuild sweat glands under the armpit
by rookit, Nov 04, 2009 08:35PM
I have body odour.Five years ago,I ever had a surgery which sucking out the sweat glands under my armpits,but the effect only last half a year.Then I had another sugery which removing a triangular area of skin in the apex of my armpit but my body odour became much worse.In winter my head emit the bad smell.
I guess maybe as the sweat glands under my armpits were removed,other parts of my body,such as head,pubes,skin,take its responsibility of sweating.So all over my body smell bad.
Can I rebuild my sweat glands under the armpit?
If something can be injected into my armpit to take the responsibility of sweat glands,I can recover to before when I didn't have the surgeries.
Could anybody help me?Thanks very much.

The odor is the result of bacterial growth from your seat glands. This may possibly be treated with topical or oral antibiotics. I would suggest consulting with a dermatologist about this issue.
