    Dad's body odor may be passed on to the next generation, and timely treatment is required.

    Body odor is a relatively common skin disease that has certain genetic factors. If both parents have body odor, it may be passed on to the next generation through genes. Symptoms such as increased armpit sweating and armpit odor may also occur after the child is born. The occurrence of hereditary body odor may have an impact on the body. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time to judge the condition. It also needs to be treated through laser surgery and underarm sweat gland removal surgery under the guidance of a doctor to achieve a radical cure.

    During the treatment of body odor, pay attention to the cleaning of the armpit skin. It is best to wash it with warm water, which can eliminate surface secretions and bacteria.
