Body Odour And Hyper Hydrosis Solutions
Body odour, often referred to as BO, is a common issue that arises when bacteria on the skin break down sweat, leading to an unpleasant scent. Sweat itself is generally odourless, but it provides a breeding ground for bacteria when it accumulates on the skin’s surface
Causes of body odour
- Excessive sweating or hyperhydrosis
- Exercise
- Hot water
- Hormonal changes
- Being overweight
- Medical confitions such as diabetes, kidney or liver diseases
- Certain types of medicine, such as antidepressants
Hyper Hydrosis
Hyper hydrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It can affect various parts of the body, including the underarms, palms, feet, and face. The condition can be embarrassing and have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, as it often leads to severe body odor, social discomfort, and even skin issues.
Hyper hydrosis can be classified into two main types:
- Primary hyperhydrosis: which has no underlying medical cause and often begins during adolescence
- Secondary hyperhydrosis: which results from an underlying medical condition or medication side effects.
