Mom took me to "electrocoagulation" to treat armpit odor at the spa, the girl was hospitalized with 2 armpits "charred", necrosis

After being sent by her mother to electrocauterize underarm odor at a spa, the armpit area of the 12-year-old girl (in Hung Yen) was swollen red, with lots of black discharge and purulent discharge. Family members quickly admitted him to the National Dermatology Hospital.

According to information from Lao Dong , Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quan, Deputy Head of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Rehabilitation (National Dermatology Hospital), said that the hospital has just received and treated a 12-year-old girl (in Hung Yen) with severe burns and necrosis on both armpits after electrocauterization to treat underarm odor at a local spa.

A few days ago, the patient came to the hospital with 2 armpits swollen red, with a lot of black discharge and purulent discharge.

Exploiting the history, family members said, after puberty the girl smelled bad sweat and sweated a lot. Through an advertisement for a spa with an effective underarm odor treatment, the family brought the girl in for a treatment with a laser burning of sweat glands.

A few days after being "treated", the girl appeared with discharge, blood and pus, gradually necrotic lesions spread to the entire armpit area, black scabs looked scary, so she was taken to the National Dermatology Hospital for examination.

"The patient was determined to have severe axillary burns following underarm odor treatment. Family members also showed us photos of electrocoagulators. It is an electric burner, people use the tips of needles to burn into the sweat glands in the armpits. Such a treatment is the wrong method. Such burning of sweat glands will not reduce underarm sweating, but also many complications, including complications like those encountered by girls," Dr. Quan shared.

Citing information from Thanh Nien, also according to Dr. Quan, to treat the pediatric patient, doctors removed the entire necrotic organ, fighting the disease. Now that the wounds have dried up, the condition has been controlled. However, the wound with a huge loss of skin is difficult to heal.

At this point, doctors will have to take skin from another body area to graft into 2 armpits for children. Burns and lumps in the armpits if not treated immediately can lead to widespread necrosis, which is dangerous to health. Even large scars can cause pulling that limits arm mobility.

For the girl, despite intensive treatment, there is still a risk of scarring in the armpit area, the future may be pulled. In addition, the area where the skin is patched on the armpit will also leave scars for the child.

Dr. Quan said that the hospital often encounters cases of complications after underarm sweat treatment, underarm sweat reduction in the wrong method at spas and unlicensed beauty facilities.

Many hospitalizations are like girls, with two armpits becoming numb and necrotic after laser burns in spas. In addition, 1 number of cases of surgery or misaspiration also have complications. There are cases of eczema leading to hematomas, fluid collections and severe depression. The handling and treatment for these cases is also very complicated.

Currently, many people still believe in "sweet honey" advertisements such as: Only once, cure armpit odor completely; Fly the "wing inflammation" in just a few minutes; Surprisingly cheap, radically effective...

Even, many people believe that using this medicine floats, word of mouth ..., flying smells that have not been seen, only know that disaster comes. Some places also advertise treatment with essences... Using unsatisfactory products, unknown origin, should cause problems ... As a result, the effect of reducing underarm sweating is not achieved, moreover, these spas do not guarantee sterile conditions, so they cause lesions.

In fact, doctors of the National Hospital of Dermatology have treated many patients admitted to the hospital with symptoms of contact dermatitis, dermatitis, more severe than axillary abscess or axillary skin necrosis after self-treatment of axillary halitosis.

There are many causes of axillary odor, of which the main cause is due to the person's disposition. This disease is common in obese people, people with a lot of physical activity, people with emotional hypersensitivity. In addition, climatic and environmental factors also create a significant impact on causing the disease.
