What are the causes of body odor

summary

When I was a child, I had a slight smell of body odor, but the older I get, the bigger the smell of fox is. I think it affects my image very much. Patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible. Now I will tell you about the causes of body odor.

What are the causes of body odor

Cause 1: apocrine sweat glands only exist in armpit, areola, umbilical fossa, anus, vulva and external auditory canal. Except armpit, the function of apocrine sweat glands in other parts is very weak, and the sweat produced is very little. The sweat secreted by apocrine sweat gland is initially sterile. Under the action of microorganisms, it decomposes the organic matter in the sweat and forms short chain fatty acids and ammonia with special odor, which leads to the occurrence of apocrine sweat gland hidrosis.

Etiology 2: it often occurs in palms, soles and interosseous areas. Sweat is often colorless and tasteless. However, in the case of hyperhidrosis, sweat is decomposed by parasitic bacteria on the surface of the skin to release fatty acids, resulting in a special odor. Other substances such as garlic and arsenic can be excreted through sweat glands to cause odor.

Cause 3: in daily life, excessive emotional fluctuations or schizophrenia can lead to the appearance of body odor, and the disease has certain genetic factors.
