Sweaty armpits

There are two types of sweat glands in humans. One is small and is distributed throughout the body. Its main function is to wick away sweat and regulate body temperature. The other is a larger gland called the apocrine gland, which is located in special areas such as the axilla and genitals. Among them, the axillary is the most. The serous fluid secreted by the apical plasma glands was originally a odorless liquid, but it became an odorous liquid when it was decomposed by bacteria retained in the armpits, commonly known as "fox smell". Patients with sweaty underarms are prone to bacterial growth and have a particularly strong taste, which causes great distress in life.
