Bromhidrosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Bromhidrosis is the intense and unpleasant body odor that occurs when sweat comes into contact with the bacteria on the skin and breaks down, generating a stronger-than-usual smell.
Contributing factors: heavy sweating, the presence of bacteria on the skin, certain foods, hormonal changes, or insufficient hygiene in areas such as the armpits and feet.
When it is advisable to have it reviewed: if the odor is persistent, affects social life, or does not improve with usual hygiene measures.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the appropriate professional to evaluate the skin and provide guidance on management; in some cases the endocrinologist may join in. Consulting makes it possible to rule out associated causes and receive recommendations appropriate to your situation.
