Suggest Treatment For Severe Bromhidrosis Of The Armpits

Hi..Is there a medical procedure or treatments for severe bromhidrosis of the armpits? Bacterial transplant?, because the microbiome has gone out whack.. or perhaps some sort of skin replacement of that area? Since according to some articles the bacteria can be deeply seated beneath the skin surface that bad bacteria cannot be flashed out entirely in terms of just washing and applying antibacterial products...

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Many ways to treat bromhidrosis: (1) shaving the armpits hair regularly, (2) laser hair reduction of the underarms which will permanently reduce your underarm hair thereby reducing the odour, (3) botox of the underarms which help in reduction of the sweating, thereby reducing the odour.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
