Bromhidrosis is a particularly common disease, which is caused by excessive secretion of apocrine glands. Although bromhidrosis is not a serious disease, many people are troubled by it in many ways, and there are obstacles in communication and life. In particular, the pungent smell of underarm odor is unbearable and makes patients particularly embarrassed. So, what are the causes of osmidrosis?

Bromhidrosis, also known as bromhidrosis, is a skin disease with excessive secretion of apocrine glands. There are millions of sweat glands in human body, which can be divided into two types according to their secretory properties: first, eccrine glands are almost all over the body, usually in the palms, soles and denominations, and they directly enter sweat pores on the skin to discharge clear sweat; The other is apocrine gland, which is only distributed in armpit, umbilical fossa and perineum, and the gland opens in hair follicle. The secretion of apocrine glands is influenced by gonads. Before puberty, because the apocrine glands are immature and have no secretory function, there will be no bromhidrosis. In adolescence, gonad secretion is strong, apocrine gland secretion is also more, and its smell is obviously stinky. In fact, the sweat of many beauty lovers has no peculiar smell, but contains substances that are easily decomposed by bacteria. Due to the warm and humid skin under the armpit and poor ventilation, a large number of bacteria often breed. When sweat from sweat glands is excreted on the skin surface, it will be decomposed by these bacteria, thus giving off an unpleasant smell. According to statistics, the disease has obvious heredity, and its inheritance mode belongs to dominant inheritance.
