| Abstract;To investigate the efficacy of axillary odor deodorant cream and adiaphoretic powder, test samples were applied to 49 patients with osmidrosis axillae for 8 consecutive weeks, and the superficial bacterial count and degrees of axillary odor and sudation were measured. Twenty-eight patients applied cream, cream and powder, or no thing to right and left axillary sites randomly, and 21 patients applied cream and powder to both axillary sites. Cream was applied twice per day (morning and night), and powder was applied only in the morning. Two patients had itching, which recovered by discontinuation of the samples. The degree of axillary odor and sudation decreased significantly at the cream-applied and cream and powder-applied sites, respectively. Superficial bacteria at axillary sites were sampled by swab method and 9 types of bacteria were identified. The number of bacteria decreased by approximately 10'-2' of the initial level in a few days, then 7 days after the end of application, it returned to the initial level. These results indicate that the axillary odor deodorant cream and adiaphoretic powder applied in this investigation are safe and effective for osmidrosis axillae. (author abst.) |
