Concern - Child with sensitive sense of smell, curious about treatment for bromhidrosis (body odor)
The child is in elementary school.
I haven't entered puberty yet.
I usually get affected by heat easily and tend to sweat a lot.
This summer was unbearably hot.
I usually carry an extra cotton T-shirt when I go out together.
They often apologize for bothering me.
So I asked if sweating is very uncomfortable.
To answer,
They say they feel a strange smell coming from their body. ㅠㅠ
So I also took on the task.
I do smell sweat, but honestly, it's due to bromhidrosis.
It's not enough to even be considered.
It's okay, I didn't do much to comfort you.
The moment I start to sweat
I keep smelling the smell of clothes near my armpit.
Because I want to outsource it externally
I looked into bromhidrosis.
Humans have apocrine glands and eccrine glands in their sweat glands.
There are two types of sweat glands. What is the cause of bromhidrosis?
In individuals who are constitutionally prone to having many apocrine glands
They say it can fly.
The location of apocrine glands is mainly in the armpits or groin.
They say it's the chest area.
The child's sense of smell might be sensitive.
I also looked into how to do self-diagnosis.
Discoloration in the armpit area of the clothing
2. Awareness of Others
3 Earwax condition - Usually, the earwax is not dry.
If it's persistent, it means the apocrine gland activity is active.
4 Family history
When observing a child using self-diagnosis methods
There isn't really anything that applies.
Of course, if you sweat, it produces a typical sweat smell.
However, an unpleasant odor commonly referred to as body odor.
I don't think it's enough to give or feel.
We are working together now to try to reduce the smell of sweat.
Putting on underwear like running gear.
They also dress me loosely.
If you sweat again, use a handkerchief.
I am diligently cleaning areas around the neck and sweaty parts.
And just when I go to school
I'm thinking about applying deodorant...
It's a bit uncomfortable because it's my own.
As far as I know, bromhidrosis is
In children who have not yet gone through puberty
They say it won't happen.
What should I do in this situation?
Lately, I keep smelling my own clothes' scent even while walking down the street.
I'm worried that this is bothering me and that it might make me lose confidence.
